I had to talk myself into getting going, but I did my .5 hour on the treadmill today, sans a couple interruptions. I was glad I did. Once I got going I bumped the incline up another notch to 5.0. Felt pretty good by the time I was done. One day at a time.

I had about 2 hr on a horse. Not much cardio to it, but used muscles I forgot I had, then came home and did my 5.36 mi bike route and did it 5 minutes faster than last time. I have no feeling in my legs yet tonight, but oh well, I am sure I will tomorrow. :)

I walked 2 miles by the river. It's so beautiful this time of year in Minnesota! But winter is a coming! YUCK!

I walked yesterday morning for 30 minutes.

I have switched up my routine to only go to the pool for water exercise three times a week and walk the other three or four days. I now have more time in the morning so the walk is convenient and a great start and my daughter complained about me being gone to the pool so often. Plus it's nice to come home from work and have the rest of the evening for whatever I want to/need to do. Yet I'm missing the pool some. And my heel is killing me so walking is a little bit stressful. Might need to switch things up again.

Jamie, I am like you. I never want to exercise but afterwards am always so glad I did and I feel so much better. I went to the gym and did 30 min on the elliptical with more of an incline this time and then another 30 min on weight machines. So glad I did. I will probably go for a long walk today, it's beautiful outside.

1 Hour AquaFit with the instructor that kicks butt! Loved it and slept good too...always a plus.

I walked down our driveway to the mailbox yesterday. My first real exercise since getting my sleeve last week. Planning on doing it today too.

Oh! Thank you Jamie for getting the thread going! Next week classes start (and my life gets crazy busy!)... and this week, well seems I am trying to get everything done that I won't have time to fit in later! LOL!

PLEASE keep posting them as you think of it! Or someone... I think its good for us to report back! I know its good for me anyways!

Monday I did about a half hr of walking is all... I was busy running around all over town on the bus the rest of the day and volunteering at SASS :)

Today I will get in a bit more walking, but that is probably it... I'm headed out the door again for errands. :)
