May Exercise Challenge

Let's keep 'er rolling along. Same rules as always: none. All you have to do is list your exercises you are doing. Just a way of keeping us accountable to each other.

As for me today, nada. Slept in after two nights of softball and a fill yesterday. Just didn't feel like my innards could take the jostling of running on the treadmill after the fill. I can still feel the swelling a bit.:thumbup:

I'll get back to it tomorrow. If nothing else, I'll hit the elliptical.

yesterday - spin class/upper body weight training with DH, then after lunch went for a bike ride around the lake, very leisurely

today - spin class/11 holes of golf before it started to rain

tomorrow - weather dependent, i'd like to ride our bikes around the lake twice (37miles) .. but it's up to the rain. otherwise, back at another spin class & weight training.

Saturday afternoon I hit the golf range for a bucket of balls. First time this year I've had the clubs out. Late last year a friend of mine gave me a pointer to try to fix my wicked slice (seriously, thing needed a turn signal most of the time:biggrin:). Worked last year, but I was afraid it might have been a fluke. Not so:thumbup:. I was hitting some BOMBS off the driver after warming up.

Yesterday, I tried to run running in the p.m. I tried the 3.6 mile loop bossman showed me a couple weeks ago that I struggled with, but tried a week later w/o any problems. Struggled again yesterday. I've come up with a theory. If I have eaten at any time during the day, I cannot run. I think my pouch is so close to my diaphragm when it has food in it and does not allow me to breath deep enough to run. I may be wrong though and it is just in my head:out: I ended up with a total of running 2.5 miles of the 3.6.:lol:

This morning, I hit the gym for upper body circuit training. I am working a double, so nothing else today. I'll get back to it tomorrow.

Well no outside walking for me it's raining. I guess I'll workout with a DVD at home. :-(

I did not do my DVD at home and the weather sucks today too. I hate that I can't use the gym on base anymore.

Tues - did a "BRIC" workout at the gym - it was spinning, then running, then ab work -- in the morning and did my normal track interval workout in the evening.

Wed. - swimming for 1800 yards

Thurs. - 80 min group bike ride -- about 17.5 miles.

I just started the couch to 5k on Tuesday. As it turns out I'm not even ready for the starting point they give but I'm working up to it. I walked for 10 minutes my first day and did .4 mile for almost 20 min yesterday. Tomorrow I will walk for 20 min. Next week I'll start jogging.

My goal is to get to walk a 5k in three weeks but I'm not sure if that's realistic. I figure I'll at least walk as far as I can-- maybe a "special k". LOL!

Has anyone here started off this bad? Is it easier to walk or alternate walking and jogging? I'm 330lbs and it hurts just to walk for 5 min straight. This is a big deal for me.

Thank you! I needed that. I walked .5 mile this morning and it kicked my butt! It was easier on Thursday and I hurt more today. This may be harder than I thought but I'm still going.

Good job on your exercise! An inspiration. I love the variety.
