Gym Is Open (Wednesday)

I did take a 55 minute walk last night since I missed going to the gym in the morning yesterday. It was so beautiful. There is a canal with a dirt/gravel road that goes on for miles and miles. I decided to walk it for awhile. There were all these mallard ducks and baby ducklings, so cute! Of course, all the dogs had to bark at me because they are couped up in their backyards that abut the canal. And, my $130 Asics Gel shoes, which are a mesh white are now filthy! Oh well, the price we pay! Anyway, I did make it to the gym today. Here is what I did.

Kathy, Looks like you are really back!!!! Lori

Yuppers! I love how it looks in writing. My morning workout is really only about 45 minutes but in print...it looks a bit impressive/daunting. I'll never tell... Thanks, as always, for the encouragement. Kathy

Hi ladies, I hope you don't mind me joining, I normally lurk but decided it was time to join in. I am usually over at the LapBand board but there seams to be a lot of action over here as well. Today is my day for 2 workouts so here it goes: AM Cardio on stationary bike for 20 minutes and light weight training PM Cardio on treadmill for 35 minutes 45 minutes of weight training with PT I will be hurting tomorrow. Thanks, Natural Beauty S=283/C=213/G=190

NB, Welcome! We are pretty active over here. We definitely try to be accountable daily for exercise, what we are eating and snacking habits. Welcome! Kathy

Thanks for the welcome Kathy, I will become more active on this board. I love to workout. I've always gone to the gym but just couldn't get those eating habits together so the band has really helped me out. Thanks again and I will be seeing you around! NB

Welcome Natural Beauty! The idea is that if we post what we are doing it will hopefully keep us motivated and possibly motivate others! Looks like quite a workout! Lori

Thanks Lori, for faithfully calling us to get moving! Worked out in water 1 hr. 1/2 hr water walking/running and 1/2 deep water aerobics working in the garden for 2 hrs. this am. ...then relaxed 10 minutes in the best hot tub in Md. Mary

Mary, Sounds like quite a day of activity...I would probably have needed much more than 10 minutes in the hot tub! Good for you! Lori
