I'm in for 5 days - 2 with trainer 3 w/out

Sunday Morning Soccer Game **men's over 40 league**

Great thanks LuLuc & Fran for answering.

I had to go to the store, and was going to drive because my mom is here, but I decided it dosen't matter she is here I need to walk. :wink2: It is just a short 30min walk up and back.

I work from home so it can be hard to take my 15min breaks & lunch breaks and use them for ME, but I will set my goals to walk one 15min break and my lunch break - a minimum of 30 mins. Begining tomorrow.

today -

1.5mile run warm up

upper body weight training & abs, hubby had a vaca day & wanted to work out together - not my normal routine, but it was fun.

plan on taking my old man horse out tonight for a late ride ; i'm sorta counting this as exercise - cause the bouncing on my bum i think firms things up....this is of course all in my head:)

have a good wkend!!!

Worked out with my trainer today for 60 minutes. My abs are still weak and my knee hurts. Boy do I feel like a whimp! I guess I will just plug along!

Well I got a 40 min walk in today. I am going to try to get out and walk another 20 this evening.

My son has to do 300 sit ups a day during the summer for FB conditioning, so I thought I would joing him and aim for 100 a day.... 25 down - 75 to go :tongue2:

Funny thing is - these were the first sit ups in a LONG TIME :thumbup:- w/ out being modified.

Hey Lulu - I don't know if you are aware but horseback ridding is great exercise - here are the calories burned for 60mins - now I don't know if the caluclations are based on my weight or not since it is part of a website I am using to track my calories, exercise and weight (evenhealth.com).

walking mins - 226

general mins - 360

trotting mins - 586

way to go!! I wish I had a horse ;o)

hey XX,

it really is a good core exercise when you think about it. i USE to struggle getting on/off "Duke" 60+ lbs ago...had to use a ladder, i'm pretty short & i couldn't huff it up on the saddle alone. i think the big guy likes a lighter me & the fact i ride him more often....it's a slow trot, until my heeler wants to mess around w/us...LOL

today -

spin class

20min stairmaster

* have company coming over later today & i think i'm comfortable enough in my bathing suit to play Water volleyball*

cheers all~~

Hey XX -- seems like you're really starting to get into this !

I got another Couch to 5K session in this evening.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend :thumbup::smile::thumbup:!

I am all about the exercise. I have found since starting this journey that it isn't so much about the food for me but rather the exercise. I feel so much better <mentally> when I work out. I just plain feel better.

Last week was a big deal for me. I really do not like working out with the free weights, but I know how good they are. I committed to 3 days of free weights and 5 days of cardio. I met my goal! I figured, I don't care what the big bulky muscle men think about at my gym - this is me time!

Hi, hope you don't mind I jump in on this thread!!! I have made a month long commitment to myself to exercise at least 4 days a week. I was glad to find somewhere to check in.

I walk the treadmill at the gym for 35 minutes at 3mph. There is a metropark with a walking trail that is 3 miles around. I never walked all that at one time, but I decided to give it a try. My DH went with me and I made it in 65 minutes!!!!! Didn't stop once!! I can't imagine what it will feel like to exercise and not have the extra weight of whole nother person on me!!!!!

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::smile2::laugh:

Tess: Keep it up and you won't have to imagine what it feels like to be thinner! Congratulations! We're all in the same boat, trying to work and get it together!

Hi everyone,

I am jumping in too. I definitely like the accountability!! 1 hour of treadmill today for me!

Oh - I forgot! I actually joined a beginner Yoga/Pilates class that meets once a week at a local hospital.

Ok i wanted to let you guys know as youve been with me from the start i finished my first ever Triathlon on Sunday!!! 400yard swim (Outdoors COLD) then a 15mile bike ride and a 5k run. IT was amazing feeling.

daddy-congrats on the triathlon:thumbup:. Shooting for my first on July 19 and 2nd on Aug 2.

For me, I did my cardio on Wed morning-90 minutes. Late softball games, so didn't get to bed until 11:30 and sleep eluded me until 1 am. Figured I would hit both cardio and upper body Thurs night. Didn't happen. Had a HUGE severe weather system move through and had to get home to take care of the house. Friday-hit the cardio for 90 minutes and upper body at night.

Saturday-ran my 3rd 5k run so far this summer. Ran it in the same range as last one at 28:30. Another one in 2 wks. Then, start training for mini tri.

Sunday-Did 65 minutes on elliptical and ran 1.6 miles on treadmill.

This morning, I did 65 minutes on elliptical and ran 1 mile on treadmill. Tonight is upper body again.

congrats to the triathletes - !! serious goals you 2 have set!!
