New Daily Exercise Thread

I'm going to start a daily exercise post.  I hope it will: 1) help keep me on track (please God) 2) let those of you who already exercise toot your own horn 3) motivate some of you who AREN'T exercising to start. Regular exercise has many mental, emotional and physical benefits.  Not surprisingly, it is imperative to incorporate exercise into your life to increase your chances of getting to goal and staying there.  In fact, research has shown that 75% of patients who incorporate exercise 
into their life GET to their goal and STAY THERE.  With odds like that... I want to be in that group!  JOIN ME!!!

I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I was just thinking about doing a thread like this in the mornings when I do the Whatcha Eating thread! You had a great idea! We need to keep this one going too!  For exercise today, I will be playing Simon Says with my Second Graders at recess. Also, this afternoon, my brother and I will go to the nature trail (we call it the track) and walk 2 miles. We usually walk the two miles in about 40 minutes so I think that is pretty good!  Come on everyone...............HOW ARE YOU EXERCISING TODAY??   Karen

GOOD FOR YOU, WENDY!!! I'm still wearing my binder and underweight, so no exercising for me yet.  I'll pop in and cheer all of you on, though! Will we see you Thursday?

Of course I will be there Thursday barring something unexpected happening.   How are YOU doing btw?

Hey, glad to hear you're coming! Thanks for asking.....my eyes and forehead are still a bit swollen, not that you'd notice unless I pointed it out. My skin is all new and wonderful, so, so far, I'm glad I did it. My stomach is another story. I still have to wear the dang binder, which drives me NUTS!!!! I'm being good and wearing it all day and most of the evening.  I'll be glad next week when Gibbs tells me (hopefully) that I can take it off. Eating is a new adventure.  It's like I have started from square one with my rny, but worse. Meat and chicken are no longer my friends, and if I eat or drink the least bit too fast UP it comes.  I never had that happen before, so I'm learning all over again. Are you sorry you asked???

Of course I'm not sorry I asked.   I'm glad to hear that you are doing better!   I've heard the binders are always terrible, so I feel for ya. 

Im so freaking sick today,  best I can hope for is the energy I burn getting clothes outta the washer and hanging them on the line.  I love line dried clothes, and since my dryer is fritzed, there ya go.   If I can breathe this evening, I may take a stroll down the road.  Ive got to get these lungs under control before I do much, all that yard work last week just almost killed me, litterally. But Im cheering on everyone else, I'll be back in the game soon. Rhonda D. the one who cant breathe out her nose or mouth

So Rhonda, I'm sure someone along the line has told you breathing is NOT optional!!!  What's the deal?  Did you get too much pollen and stuff when you did all your yard work?  Don't make me come down there!  You get better,  K? Love and hugs

Wendy,  I think the exercise thread is a great idea.  I didn't see it until today.  Here's my entry.    Sunday - Ran for 21 minutes and walked for 6 minutes.  (I run my first 5K race Saturday - wish me luck!)  Monday - 30 minutes of weight training with a personal trainer (5:30 a.m. Ugh!!)  Monday - Run for 21 minutes walk for 6 minutes (evening) 

I didn't start it yet, I just said I was going to start it.  I'll probably do it nightly so I can log in what I've done for the day.  (In the morning, I never know what I'm going to be doing.)
