It's very strange but you guys are 100% right I feel better and I sleep better when I move my body more! I know it's all those feel good hormones that get released and I love it!

It is bright and sunny in NY today, but it is BONE chillingly cold. The stranger thing is that the sun is perking me up and making me feel good like I wanna run around, it will have to be inside but hey I'm ready to lace up those hot pink sneakers and GO!

At 3pm I reached 10,000 steps! At 430pm I will be at the day care playing with the kids that is 5,000 right there. Then I wlll work out for 1 hours when i get home. I think I will reach to 25,000 steps today. :D

Just walked about a mile and a half at the lake next to my house with the puppies. Took the day off from the gym today, went six days this week; so I don't feel guilty. Tomorrow, I think I'll put my kayak in the lake if it isn't too windy or cold.

weather is brutal on my left knee.........call me OLD

but still did my step aerobics although kabo the doberman kept stepping on the step ARGH

CG maybe kabo the doberman needs his own step to exercise with you?

30 minutes on the treadmill today.

33 minutes on the elliptical this morning, a short walk with the puppies, and a half an hour of weights at the gym. Not a bad workout day, if I say so myself. :-)

I'm thinking if I'm going to be an exercise queen we are going to need to move to a more suitable climate. My husband keeps reading forecasts for other places. Seventy degrees sounds lovely! And bike and walking paths, oh my. But of course we love our place. Under all that snow are lots of garden beds and in a couple of months we will be surrounded by flowers. Sigh.

Meanwhile, the basement with treadmill, recumbent bike and BowFlex. I'm so lucky to have it right here. We live in the sticks so gums are far away and I like it that I can be a slob when I work out. Have increased incline and hitting a whole new set of muscles -- the rear. Back is sore and only thing to do is do it again today.

Happy exercising everyone
