I got back in the pool today! Finally after it was closed for ten days! Felt so good! I did a 50 minute workout. My son, who is rehabbing an injured knee joined me. It was fun. He wants to do it again.

I think I said I'd do 60 minutes, but we quit at 50. I was beat!

I did make my 10 minute walk today, hubby walked with me. day 1 down

Tuesdays are my short sleep day, as we drive to the bigger town for dog class. But I worked 2 dogs for an hour instead of biking. My youngest will have my bike out and waiting in the morning when I get home, since he is dying to ride to school. :)

I walked in the mall for a while yesterday. With the fibro and my weight, it's hard to do too much walking, but I gave it a shot. :)

I didn't get any so called exercise in tues but plan to walk my usual route of 2 miles today! I make my best effort to do this daily but sometimes life happens and don't get it in. I use to beat myself up about it, but now I don't sweat it if a miss a day here and there! I realize I am 300 percent more active now than have been for years even if I miss a day! And yes, it does help with losing and maintaing weight !

I walked over 5000 steps at work, and did 1 hour AquaFit at the YMCA after work.

Idajoy, good for you! My surgery was in January so I spent the whole first month walking at the mall. It was great! One day I switched to walking at Target. That cost me $90, so I stopped. ;-)

Good job bariatric all stars :) (was gonna say bariatric babes but didn't want to offend any of our male members :) )

I confess Tuesday was a bust. All I did was take mom for errands and fed and opened the door for the dogs when needed. My body was having one of its bad days so I spent most the time in bed.

today is going to be a 2 mile walk my friend already called and said be ready after work. lol

With work and evening meetings I did not get anything more than a dog walk in. And I don't consider that exercise since they stop and sniff and pee on everything :)

45 minutes walking - about 2.5 miles. I usually shoot for 3, but it's canning season here and I have to get the apples put up before they go bad! Happy exercising, everyone!

Looks like everyone is doing great!!

Senecagrl .... cracked me up! :) :) And if its not 'official' exercise, at least its not sitting in a chair!

1 hour zumba class

I'm a late poster...so I'll play catch-up.
On Monday I went to gym with hubby and did a 30 min run/walk on treadmill. I had it on hill interval, so I'd run the flats, walk the hills.

Tuesday, I did almost 5000 steps at work alone. Then went to gym with my mom and did the 30 min circuit room. I started with a short 6 min on treadmill to warm up, then went to circuit room and did machines and cardio. The only machine I don't use is the sit up machine. I any stand that. I'd rather do crunches on my own or use a balance ball to do crunches.

Wednesday (I know, this is the Tuesday post), I did almost 6000 steps at work and skipped gym. (I got out a little later than usual and am a little sore in the legs.)

I am doing Wednesday, too, here. I was going to do a 1.55 mile loop around Capital Lake in Olympia starting as 5:15pm, but it rained today and they canceled the walk. It was a group from www.meetup.com that I belong to. I didn't hear that it was canceled until the afternoon, so I didn't get up on the treadmill till late. I was a bit soar and tired from not sleeping well, so it took a lot of self-persuasion, but I did it. I did a full 30 minutes at a 2.4 pace and a 4.0 incline. Brought the speed up to 2.9 twice for about 30 seconds each to get the heart a pumping. Then did a 10 minute stretch to cool down and work out the kinks. Hard to start, but felt really good by the end.
