Hey Everyone

Do you find that when the sun doesn't shine you don't feel that energy that you have when the sky is blue and the sun is shining bright?  I need to go and get one of those sun lamps  I am feeling the winter blues for sure  But I have a good cure?  Exercise

So my friends Did You Move To Lose and or Maintain Today?  Come on in and share inspire and kick up some dirt

I have been so busy getting the Back On Track Together group going I ended up down stair****ting the bag and the treadmill here at home.

Let's hear from you all

Take care,
Kathy

I'm pleased to report that I did my 30 minutes on the elliptical machine on both Monday and Tuesday.  Today my thigh muscles are quite sore and I may choose to walk around Costco tonight instead.  Perhaps I should be adding more upper body stuff on alternate days for the flab under my upper arms?
Looking forward to firmness, Carmel Valley Linda

My friends came over and we belly danced.  We have been taking classes and meet at each other's homes and belly dance away.  I am not as good as the younger gals, but I have learned to make the hips do the sway thing.  Of course I am still walking like a fiend. Today, my walking will be done on campus as I go from meetings to here to there.  It's on a hill so the walking will be up and down.  I can tell you the more I move, the better I feel.

Belly dancing sounds like fun.  I've always wanted to try that.

Hi Kathy,

I get out in the sun whenever it shines, even in the winter, via a brisk walk and that seems to hold the blues at bay. . .

As for moving, being that my job involves sitting at a desk, I try to walk around the floor a few times a day, usually when I go for a potty break, I used to cut through the elevator bank, now I walk the whole floor, so that is one thing I do daily; but today is a gym day and I will be headed there straight from the train station, I pack my gym clothes on gym days, change before I leave the office, this way I walk into the gym and get busy, though right now the gym is full of new years resolutioners, if it follows last years pattern, but mid-February, many will fall by the wayside, as I used to do. . .  5/10 minutes warm up via eliptical, treadmill or bicycle, whichever is free, and then onto strength/core exercises for 1/2 hour, finish up with 45 to 55 minutes of cardio, lately I'm enjoying the Alpine Pass setting on the treadmill, put in your weight, how fast you can safely go (right now that is 4.5 for me), incline (I'm doing a 12) and how many minutes and off you go, makes walking the treadmill more intense and less boring, and it has me running about 3/4 of a mile during the entire workout.  Well that's my workout plan. 

Have a great day!

Laureen

I got in my 30 minutes on my home treadmill. 

Things are looking better weight wise.

Kathy,

I got up this morning and went to water aerobics... then after several errands, I managed to get by Curves.  When I started Curves, I didn't want to weigh and measure, but finally did in October.  Today, I am 23 pounds down and 31 inches smaller. 
I plan to walk on my treadmill tonight. 

I am sure this seems a bit much to some people, but when I work nights, I don't do very well with exercise and sleeping.  So I do what I can, when I can.  Tomorrow I will go to water aerobics, then get home and nap for the afternoon so that I can work tomorrow night.

Will check in tomorrow.
