Becca gets busy and no more excercise posts to keep us lazy folk going? :)

I did 12 mi on the bike today. It was a bit cold to start but warmed considerably by the time I made the top of the second big hill. I did it 15 minutes faster than the last time. DH brought me to work again, so I committed to another 12 in the am. Brought some warmer gear though. :) it bburns 1000 calories! :) going to try for at least 3x week until it is too cold, then I will move to the Y for something different until spring.

Good...no, actually, GREAT for you. That is fabulous exercise, functional, and such a great way to relieve stress. Proud of you!!

I've been walking a little. I can go back to the pool now since my surgery, but it's broken down and they are waiting for a part for the humidity control....so next week.

Sounds good. I'm not slacking! I've gone back to 4 days in the pool. I had cut it down to 3 and then walking 2 or 3 more days. I've developed a heel spur so the walking is reduced for now to just one day (walked around the edges of Sam's Club the other day over and over). So I'm doing the pool 4 days and then biking the 5th (nowhere near as much as you though) and walking the 6th.

Whoooo hoooo!! Thanks for posting Becky! Accountability is so helpful!

I've been attending my Pilates class 2 Am's a week, headed there this morning in fact. And been walking about an hour a day... My legs are sore and my butt! LOL! Between Pilates and the hill I walked yesterday, whew! Good, but tired!

I also have a new friend at school who invited me to go walking with her on Saturdays at the riverfront... So I'll get exercise AND mental health care as we chat along the way! :)

Have a wonderful day everyone! I gotta go catch a bus!

Slacking... I'm leaving today to go visit my daughter in Chicago so we will be doing a lot of walking. But I've been a slacker all week. :-( Haven't felt very well either. But that's no excuse!

I've stayed at my apartment all week so it is a 3 story walk up no slacking here or I sleep in the foyer lol.

I have been walking 2 miles couple times a week I have a sinus infection from hell so moving my head makes me wana be put in a medical induced coma till it goes away. lol

Not a slacker here, just finding it difficult to post with working more hours. Went to the gym yesterday for an hour, half hour on the elliptical and half hour on weights. Today and 2 mile walk in the beautiful weather. Will probably go for another walk later since I don't work tonight.

Just so you know, I read this, got off my butt and took my dogs for a walk. Posts like these do motivate me! Thanks so much!

I'm continuing with my excersize regime as usual, still going to the gym at least 3 days per week and sometimes more. Although remodeling and getting our house ready to take the winter storms as proven to be a lot of exercise in itself! Every chance I get I work on getting outside.

I've noticed even in the evening I don't sit and watch T.V. much, I'm usually up cleaning, straightening, painting, etc. Funny how much energy I have now....go figure ;)

I'll get back to the gym as soon as I get my firewood in. Still got a bunch to stack in the basement before I can cut anymore.

deleted_user 10/10/2013

I did 1 hour AquaFit in the pouring rain last night, it was great fun. Same tonight, but no rain. Plus I walk no less than 5000 steps a day all around campus.

becca1960 10/10/2013

I forgot to add... after several hours with the babies at work... I think that counts as exercise too! LOL! I get up and down from the floor like a zillion times a shift, and rock babies often standing up, or on the floor... I think the floor rocking should count as ab work! LOL! :) :)
