Good morning Warriors!

Active weekend for me - Friday I did my primarily lower-body workout, and wobbled to my car. Saturday morning up to walk with DD and DDog - normal pace, but I felt a little less 'springy' in my step since I KILLED my lower body at the gym on Friday.

Saturday - helped hubby haul wood for the fireplace. He was lucky enough to get some reclaimed timbers from work and loaded them into his truck and brought them home. We hauled and cut timbers (gotta love a chop saw) for a few hours in the afternoon, then both fell asleep on the couch...:thumbup:

Sunday - actually helped use the AX to split wood today. After the first couple of swings, I got a good stroke going and was splittin' like a pro. Of course that means my shoulders and arms are a little sore this morning, along with my legs (lots of bending and up and down the stairs carrying wood into the basement) but I feel pretty strong. Got my 'Brute Squad' card from the hubby for the effort in splitting wood...:biggrin:

Walked DDog with DD this morning - cold air made us move right along, so we made it faster than normal today. Will do my lunchtime walk, but no workout tonight because DD's job is having family night and serving us all dinner.

Keep on keepin' on!:thumbup:

I took off Saturday and Sunday.

Today:

Treadmill~ Ran an entire 5K for the first time....YAY!! (41:24)

Treadmill~ then walked about 2 miles (29 minutes)

Strength training, arms~ (30 minutes)

today-

20min walk on treadmill

50min trainer session - all upper body weight training plus pullups/dips/pushups sets (resting knee) & abs. thought my port was going to pop out!!!! is anyone elses port really exposed? everytime i'm doing abs i feel like "done turkey" w/it sticking out:w00t:

20min walk on treadmill - real slow

Luluc, my post sticks out terribly, especially when I tighten my abs, ie: situps. My port is also flipped so it is sitting on its side. Anyway, y doctor is going to put in a low profile port when I have my surgery.

Go Georgia Go!

I'm going to the gym tonight. Doing something. I want to go to class but don't know if I will make it or not.

way to go Georgia!! That is awesome!! I am going to miss being able to run/exercise but never fear, I will be back in it with you soon!!

Oh, I have no doubt you will come back with a vengeance, lol. You will be itching to get back to it...

Yeah Leslie!! Glad you're getting back to it! You feeling better today?

Ack..been a crazy week - started a new job this week and lost internet connection at home for a few days. I still made it to the gym every day last week. Saturday we walked around the RenFest, and I admit - I was bad. Sunday we just chilled and recovered. Monday we jogged around the neighborhood w/the dogs. That was really fun.

Today, back at the gym. Ran/walked/jogged for 30 minutes went almost 2 miles.

I lost 2 pounds after hitting a plateau since May!!! I will get past this!

Haven't checked in this week. Just too busy. But not too busy to hit the gym.

Saturday and Sunday-Just didn't "feel it". Decided to take a couple days off.

Monday a.m.-50 minutes cardio on elliptical. p.m.-45 minute circuit training on upper body.

Tues a.m.-50 minutes cardio on elliptical. p.m.-35 minute circuit training on legs.

Today a.m.-65 minutes on elliptical.

i really don't want to mess w/my port if i don't have to. but it started out right next to my belly button..now it's an inch under my sports bra & can be annoying at times. it's totally visable.
