What's on your Thursday menu, RNYers?

Hope the shower/steam helps you start feeling better!

Glad you're feeling somewhat better but taking the additional day to take care of yourself.

You're going to kill your 1/2 marathon. This is the first year since my surgery in 2014 that we have no plans to run a 1/2. I miss it . . . and the training.

I hope you feel much better very soon.

Glad your starting to feel better!

Good morning. Hoping the hurricane will slow down before it gets to landfall. I've been waking up really early the last few days. It would be a great time to go to the gym once I am cleared. Although going out in the winter months at 5:00 will be a challenge.

QOTD: I love to ride the Expresso bikes at the gym 5 days a week. I can track how far I go online and they have weekly and monthly challenges. Also usually lift weights once a week but just on the Cyber machines. For now, though i'm just walking.

Breakfast: Cottage cheese

Snack: Ricotta

Lunch: Premier

Snack: SF Jello or Popsicle, Cottage cheese or Ricotta

Dinner: Broth,half Premier

Have a great day, its almost Friday.

Good morning!

My workout is 30-45 minutes on the elliptical, which hasn't bored me yet. I switch between forward and backward, which changes your muscle groups and sense of balance. Then I'll hit weights for 20-30 minutes and do some ab stuff. I'm real enjoying any variations of doing that.

Menu today: Protein bar and a coffee, small apple for a fibre boost. Ms: I'm in a meeting so none. Lunch: chicken breast. Afternoon snack: 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese, cucumbers. Supper is unknown.

I just recently started going backward for the last 5-10 minutes of my elliptical workout, and woah. I realized how weak some of my muscles must be! My legs were jelly after about 5 minutes of backward, but I can go forward for 45 minutes, no problem! So I plan on continuing to build up and increase my backward-elliptical time.

The elliptical at my gym have reverse mode- I use that. You go 5 minutes forward and 2 in reverse for the duration of your workout.

i've never even considered going backwards. hmmm...i'll have to try this!
