Exercise....let's get movin' - Weds

Hi!
Happy Wednesday!!

I'm posting this early because I've got a very early appointment Weds morning and won't have time to log on.  I'm having a mole cut out from my upper back so I'm not planning on doing much after I get home.  It's a minor procedure but I've got a lot of healing going on and the swelling has gotten bad again....big fat ankles again so I really think I just need to rest with legs up

What are you doing today to get your heart pumping and joints loosened???
Have a great day!

Morning Ruth...elevate those legs...you'll feel better.

Yesterday was our pool aerobics...such fun !
 
Today I'll ride my stationary bike at home..here in NY its cold again, just like winter.  So I'll just ride inside.  Monday I rode 4 miles..today I'm going to try for 5 if my knees can handle it.

Keep smiling...

I'm laying low and legs are elevated   :-)

What part of NY are you in?  I'm from NY and going home in a few weeks to visit family and friends.

Ruth,
  I live outside the small town of Owego...ever heard of the coolest town in America?  It was in the news...I live near there.  We live 1/2 way between Ithaca, NY and Binghamton, NY...in the country. 

  Where does your family live in NY?

   If you're close we'll have to meet !!!  Annette lives in Ithaca...

   WOW small world..

Hi.
I'm a NYC/Queens gal and then moved to Long Island.
I have a few friends from Ithaca....very nice area.  I'll let you know if I make my way up there. 
Let's go Mets!!!!   :-)

Yesterday was busy but when I got home at 7:30pm I went for a 4 mile walk.
Today it will be walking durning lunch/break time, 3 miles for sure...maybe walk some at home later today with my doggies.

Keep those legs elevated and rest my workout buddy.

After getting really bummed out and sad yesterday (because of swelling) I decided I just have to stop working out and no more 3 hour shopping sprees.

Normally after every surgery (tummy tuck, butt lift, arms, boobs,)� I waited at least 6 weeks before I started walking (I'm taking about on a treadmill or outside....I of course walk around the house, cooking, cleaning, bathroom trips, etc).� And by the way I've never had a big problem with swelling.
So why in the world after LEG�surgery did I think it was ok to start walking at week 3?????� I�think I'm causing my own bad swelling by doing too much.�

I see my surgeon next week (Mon) and will ask his thoughts on my theory but till then that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Thanks for always being supportive!!

Okay no walking for you my friend. You are excited about your new body and want to move on with life. Time to rest those legs. Hugs- debbie

Hello...

I did my 3 mile power walk and 100 crunchers so far. I plan on doing a few other exercises on the exercise ball today!!

Hugs....connie d

I tried an exercise ball about 2 years ago......I couldn't get comfortable on it.  Maybe I should give it a try again since I am so much smaller now....

Do you find it helps?  I wanted to do push ups on one since I struggle with doing "real" push-ups.
