Gym is Open (Monday 10/22)

Opening the gym a bit early, as I have a full morning ahead and didn't want to keep everyone waiting for me. I'll post my exercise later on.  I also have my monthly WLS support group meeting tonight, so I think by the time the day is over, I'll wish I had some of those shoes the kids wear that have the built-in roller skates! What did you do to move your body? Kix

WOOOOHOOOO for Monday Morning Workouts!  Even if I'm stiff and sore all over afterwards.... LOL 5 min warm up on elliptical 30 mins lower body weight training 30 mins treadmill  I have to admit I was stiff and sore before I worked out too...  I went out dancing with the girls after our TX msg board dinner Sat night.... I danced my butt off.... Sunday morning my back, hips and head hurt, heck even the bottom of my feet were sore... LOL

I've got a busy day on tap for me - I have a test this morning in class (and yes, that did sound dirty in the other post - although that one "German' student certainly does make me think like that!) then head up to the mountains for a staff retreat. It's at this beautiful dude ranch in the middle of nowhere and one of my favorite places. I'll be there until Wednesday, so it will be a nice break. I did a short run this morning, just 25 minutes of the usual jog/walk. Then this afternoon I am leading a hike for the staff retreat - it's suppose to be about 5 miles and lots of rock climbing -should be fun! I think that meets my quota for exercise today. Have fun 'skating' around today!

It seems I pulled my left leg muscles bopping to hard to my iPod on Thursday. I had to take Friday and Saturday off. I went back Sunday and today and plodded my arse around my 1/2 mile course. Nothing like the skinny Rockies fans do, but I wore my RED SOX cap and held my head high. (gee, no one feeling left alone in her loyalty on this board!) -Julie

The weather got cold here last night and I'm starting to think I will be one of those people who can predict weather changes with my sore joints because my hip and knee were killing me all night.  I ended up taking some codeine so I could sleep.  Part of it is because I have a really bad blister on the back of one heel and its been making me walk funny with shoes on.  I think the way I was walking irritated the hip and knee.   Anyway, to make a long story short - I didn't exercise today.  I did go to Avenue and buy a new pair of jeans though.  I was coooold and needed some pants.  It was in the 50s today, normally I'd be cheering about that but since surgery I am too cold to cheer.

Hi Kix, Made it to the gym today. I did 35 minutes on the treadmill, 10 on the bike, 100 crunches and machines for 10 minutes. (((hugs))) Diana
