TUESDAY EXERCISE

Wow!! Check this out - ME starting the exercise thread!! I have really been struggling to get back on the exercise schedule - haven't been quite as successful as I had hoped but I'm still working on it.

Tonight I will be going to Curves after work - walked the dog this morning.

And Shilpa I just wanted you to know that I rode my recumbant bike 11 MILES last night!! I couldn't believe it - a personal best! I was really tiring closing in on the 10 mile mark but then that crazy 'MACHO MAN' song from the Village People came onto my MP3 and for some reason it made me smile and got my legs pumping again so I actually got past mile 11 til I added in my cool down. Amazing what fun music will do for you!!

Kathy,
I bow to you  What an amazing WOW!! I do like the Village People . I did my hour on the Elliptical and want to lose the 15lbs that I gained recently. I don't remember it being so hard to shed the weight after my last 2 pregnancies. I will get there eventually.

Your little body has been through a lot lately and is probably still healing - give it time - you'll get the 15 off. I have faith in you!!

Thanks Kathy. I am trying to vary my workout in the hopes of jump starting the weight loss.

Way to go Kathy on the 11 miles!

I'm heading to the gym in a few minutes or maybe the park for a run. Something will be happening....just a little indecisive at the moment :o)

Oh and I am taking a 10 week yoga class that starts tonight.

I am getting ready to head out for my walk as soon as I've eaten my breakfast. I'm late today, i was so cold this morning I crawled back under the covers to get warm and ended up falling asleep till 10:30.

As soon as I get myself together, I'll be heading out to walk around the neighborhood for about an hour. I found a good route yesterday so I'm excited to get back out there again today.

A beautiful day for a walk, I'll have to head upstairs and see if I can find a sweatshirt that fits me so I'll be warm.

I have not been cleared by my doc to go back to curves yet, hopefully when I see him on Oct. 22nd I'll be going back to Curves.....

I ended up running outside with my BFF 3 miles in 36:12 a personal best. woo hoo!

Go, Kathy! Go, Kathy! Go, Kathy!

I'd still be a member of CURVES if their hours were competitive. For a year I had memberships at LA Fitmess (where I signed my first trainer contract less than 4 weeks post-op) and CURVES. I LOVED the circuit they've got set up there & that crazy disco music! Problem for me was, the one in my neighborhood is run like a hobby by its owners. It closes at 7:30PM M-F, it closes at 1PM on Sats., it's closed on Sundays, holidays as well as the day before and/or after some holidays; so, for example, Thanksgiving, it'd be closed Thursday through Sunday.
It wasn't worth the money for me.
But the music! It is truly amazing how the right music can keep us going physically, as well as emotionally, and the wrong music can do just the opposite (on both counts)!
And I think dancing - disco, rock, grunge, whatever - is a joyous way to burn up calories!
