Well I finally went and got checked out at the doctor and I have a chest infection and running a small grade fever. I had a half marathon race plan for today and it was recommended that I skip it. I thought very hard about it and I thought I have to try and I am glad to say i finish the race. I had to use the inhaler a few times and the end my cough was bad but I did it and I am glad I went
This is my schedule for the week if the body will allow it
Monday bike ride on trainer for 60 minutes
Tue 20 minutes of strength training and hour run
wed swim and ride 60 minutes
Thursday 45 easy run
Friday swim
Saturday 4 hour run
Saturday run will be for sure and the rest of the week will depend on the body
That stinks. You are all fired up and then some damn virus stops you in your tracks. I was down for a week with the flu and it drove me nuts. Glad that is not like a major injury.
Great work!
My goal for 2017 was modest, but it is to consistently hit the minimum goals for activity suggested by health canada, which is 120 minutes a week of moderate intensity cardio (measured as being able to say a few words, but cant have a convo) and two 30 minute strength building sessions.
Except for the past week or so, i've been exceeding that by a lot. Which is awesome. I'm dealing with some hip pain now, but the kinesiologist at my clinic believes its some weak muscles in my low back causing it, and gave me some exercises to work on it. so i should be back on track soon.
My other goal was to include a daily yoga practice at least 5 days a week. I have been hitting that target too!

My goal is to do a half iron man this year to celebrate turning 55 and I have now signed up for it and have my training schedule. Training is going to keep me busy but that is fine with me. My other goal is to lean to change a tire on the bike and a person I know is going to take to teach me since my husband is not the best teacher. That is my goal for this year
I'm scheduled to have my RNY 3/29 and I start a new job a month later. My new job, in a new city, is about five flat miles from where I'll be staying initially (I'll stay with my sister until I find the right apt). If I'm comfortably biking five to ten miles per day prior to my surgery, how long should I expect to take to return to this level of activity?
The bike is a Schwinn style 7 speed (upright commuter style, not sexy cool hardcore messenger bike). I have a pretty good ability to withstand pain, and I'm going to give myself a lot of time - like over an hour to get there.
Wild @$$ guesses are greatly appreciated. I'm just looking for some opinions from folks who have been through this :)

They say, making your goals public improve the chances that you will stick with them, soooo...Jan and Feb I did a 20 pound challenge program and dropped 24 pounds, I'm feeling much better.
Now, I'm moving into exercise/fitness goal 2017 Part II. I wanted to build muscle but with all the travel I see on my calendar this quarter I didn't think the gym was going to get it done so I started looking into suspension systems. I settled on the WOSS ($100 cheaper than TRX, quality seems the same). The biggest problem was finding the joist to hang it from the ceiling. I'm using Dan Long's routines (the program takes around 45 minutes a day)for the next three months.
His program includes online videos of the exercises online as well as written instructions. The nice part is this fits in my suitcase and you use the hotel doors to hang it, so no excuses while traveling.
Completed my first set today, and I can feel the burn. I finished my C25K program and I'm able to run for 30 minutes without a break so my off days are now going to be interval training to improve my speed for the Redbud on April 9.
Ok, now that I have outed myself, anyone else?
last night i redid the open work out and completed all reps in 19.56
now ready for 17.2
Too bad Sports Authority is gone because in that huge store full of athletic wear I could always find something flattering and comfortable.
I would look at Under Armour stuff particularly with your beautiful long-legged shape you may find the line was seemingly designed just to flatter you !
Yes it's expensive- but I've seen their own stores offer deep discounts. You get what you pay for - it feels great to look and feel amazing in your workout gear !
If you want to hold in stuff or not jiggle it helps to buy the smallest size you can stand . Obviously you don't want constriction around the chest.
Have you guys tried showering with 2 percent salicyic acid body wa**** turns the skin over like a kid's and in my experience noticeably firms the skin ( permanently) .
I also used to put 2percent salicylic acid face toner on my least favorite body parts after showering: I swear it helped with fat around the kneecaps inner thighs the tummy even double chin :)
Of course plastics are the most effective forever solution but not everyone wants them and we all deserve to look great in the meantime.
