March Exercise challenge

Haven't seen this yet for March, so here goes. Same rules as always, not so much a challenge as a way to keep us all motivated.

I took this weekend off. Needed it badly apparently.

This morning I ran 2 miles @ .5% incline in 16:47. Ran another 1/2 mile @.5% incline in 4:47. Followed that with 10 minute cooldown and 20 minutes on elliptical.

Tonight will be heavy upper body supersets. Maybe some more cardio, hopefully.

Mornin' Warriors!

Extended my at-work lunchtime walk and changed the route to include a big hill on campus. I was huffing and puffing at the top, but feeling good 'cause I made it!

That is now my favorite route - and I made it within the same 30 minutes I was giving myself anyway. That either means I was slacking, or that I am getting stronger - guess which one I prefer? :thumbup:

It's going to be a beautiful day today, so I'll be back on the pavement again - enjoy everyone! :lol:

Today: 45 minutes treadmill at 4% incline 2.5 miles.

I had the fluro fill yesterday and it was amazing. I could see the port and tubing as my innards glowed in the dark. :) Okay not really glowing, but you know the barium solution drink and the xrays really gives you an amazing view of your insides.

No leaks...and I received a 1cc fill, which feels good. Fluids are staying now. New meds continue to work their magic, and I feel stronger every day. Yahoo!!!

47 min on treadmill. Spent a lot of it calibrating my new Nike+ and then rest running.

I'm in on Wenday did 45 minute core, Thursday 30 mintues at curves and walked 2 miles.WEight at stand still so i must push myself harder each day.

Did 3.25 miles today in 28:35. First 2.25 miles @ 1% incline. Last mile @ .5% incline. That gets me to my 10 miles for the week.:)

Tomorrow I'm up @ 0300, which is early even for me, to get to the airport by about 0430. Then, on to vacation:w00t::blink::w00t::ohmy:

I'll "see" everyone when I get back. Have a great week of working out everyone.

Mornin' Warriors!

Ceradad - enjoy your vacation! :blink:

Walked my killer route yesterday, then went for an appt with my band doc. I'm down a couple more pounds, but not as fast as either of us would like, plus I'm still hungry between meals (a lot) so he gave me a small fill. I definately feel the restriction today!

Will walk at lunchtime (weather permitting - it's warm, but we're expecting rain today) and rowing tonight. :)

have a great trip ceradad!!!

yesterday - took the day off

today - 1hr session w/trainer & i oficially got my a$$ kicked...lots of squats/lunges/glutes/hamstring exercises

30min treadmill - 7.5incline / 3.2speed

*had my measurements & body fat taken - i have been hovering around the 130lb mark for 2 months, up and down it seems the same 4lbs & we (trainer and i) think i'm stabalized at where my body is going to be eating & exercising remaining the same....so i changed my signature* down 2 more inches, but i went up .5% in body fat - need to work on that ; still under 20%...but barely*:tt2:

Yesterday I did:

15 minutes on the treadmill @ 4% incline

2 sets of interval machines for legs

15 minutes on the recumbent bike

p.s. I love this thread and the accountability. Wish I could find someone at my club to buddy up with too!

Yesterday: 45 minutes treadmill at 4% incline 2.40 miles.

Afternoon Warriors!

Just got in from my afternoon walk - a little late today because of Admissions committee prep work, and it was a little chilly outside, but I went anyway! :ohmy:

Feeling pretty darn good - got a good time on my walk and worked up a sweat. My hamstrings know I've been walking hills :tt1:

Probably will row tonight - 30 minutes. Gotta get a good start on the weekend...everyone enjoy! :lol:

yesterday -

1:15 on treadmill walking intervals between levels 7-9 & speed of 3.1-3.3

today -

1mile bike warm up

hr session w/trainer - 45mins: squats/lunges/glutes/hamstring - all resistence; 15min ladder drills

20min treadmill walk- level 8.5 / 3.0 speed

Our "NTTS" workout was so hard that I came home and took a 3 hour nap!

We did core strengthening for about 50 min. with a trainer and then we did a bike workout with intervals for another 50 min.

I didn't have time to read everyone's posts since I went MIA (my battery on my laptop is dying). I hope everyone has been going strong or at least back on track. Though I have been gone, your wonderful words of support and encouragement were not wasted. You guys helped me so much. I decided to go back to Curves and do the Curve Smart program. It is wonderful! I lost 8 pounds since starting. Thanks you guys. I think I have found my stride and will try to post more often. Bless us all.

Hello everyone! I have been getting outside to walk again now that the snow and mud are gone. I am getting in a mile at lunchtime during the week and then come home and do 30 min on the tread climber. On the weekend I get in 2 miles and the tread climber. I feel great now if I could just start loosing again.

Today was the last day of our swim clinic. We got taped underwater. People who are good swimmers were very impressed with my elbows on my stroke. :crying: That was fun. But my excess skin RIPPLES around my thighs when I swim and that was distracting.
