on my way to the gym

for a swim....who's with me???? good morning all. i am on my way out the door to pick up my mother-in-law and drive her to physical therapy. and since her pt is in my gym, i thought i might as well hit the warm water pool while i am there. it really does make me feel much better when i go, but unfortunately, i don't go often enough. so... who is with me this morning and planning some kind of exercise for the day? i finally broke a "no loss" week yesterday, so i am on a roll again. have a great day, patricia

Monday I worked out. Tuesday I thought about working out. Wednesday I remembered as I went to bed that I should have worked out and today.. well lmaooo I can honestly say that as much as I should the most I will probably end up doing is the work out called : Dishes, Vacuuming and walking out to the mail box. LOLOL Have fun at the pool!!! YIPPIE on the breaking of the no loss week!!!! *huggles* Felicia

I'd love to go swimming. I miss the water aerobics at the gym I used to go to. Now I have a 4 yr old and a 22 month old and work full time and can't get to the gym during the hours of water aerobics. I wish I could. I walked 1.5 miles on Monday and Tuesday. Nothing yesterday and am heading out for a full day of Christmas shopping. Will that count for exercise? I should be doing a lot of walking, but probably nothing to get my heartrate up. I'll try to do better tomorrow. I'm on my way to the shower right now. Hope you enjoyed your swim. Hugs, Tabby

Of COURSE shopping counts! Especially if you carry heavy packages around!

Shopping is definately exercise. When you get into a tussle over the last TIckle Me Elmo on the shelf you can call it aerobic exercise. Enjoy, Annette

I've been walking at lunchtime almost every day (brrrr). I am getting a membership to the Y for Christmas from my family. Serious excercise will have to wait until then. (scampers off to peruse the "course" offerings to plan her fitness regime).

I just finished my exercise on the treadmill. I was able to run a consistant mile in 12.5 minutes without stopping. That is my longest running segment yet! I am supposed to be a volley ball tonight but I think I stayed the treadmill too long and I feel whipped! Maybe I can drag my butt off this chair and go. Someone please give me a push! Elizaabeth

is it too late for that push??? i hope you went. volleyball sounds like a lot of fun. i had a great workout in the pool, and then came home and wrapped more gifts (i wrapped about a dozen for the girls in my husbands office). then i gathered all of the gifts i have purchased and put them all on the kitchen table to get them wrapped tomorrow after i do my last bit of shopping. i have much more than i thought i had when it is all put in one place... i have about 2 days worth of wrapping left to do!! have a good night, patricia

Hi Patricia, Hope you get thru all that wrapping in time for Christmas!! Glad you were able to get your workout done today too. I have been trying to work out, but with the kids all home from school, it seems my workout time is spent in the kitchen cooking, in the laundry room with laundry and cleaning up after four piggy boys! LOL I plan to do it everyday, but so far, it hasn't happened. Maybe Jan 3 when they are back at school I can take the dogs for our nice LONG walks again. Susan

I didn't go to volleyball the other night. I think I may have over did it because I had a bad hypoglycemic episode early the next morning and I was sore for the rest of the day. I will have to call my dietician Tuesday to help me increase my carbs for the days I run. I got the last 2 gifts last night and I did all of my wrapping this evening. I am so glad that it is done with! Wrapping is the worst part for me. Elizabeth
