Did You Move To Lose Today? Thursday!

Hi Everyone Well did you get through the day eating well?  I won't think bad of you if you didn't get to the gym.  It's a holiday for gosh sakes.  But now we need to get back on track especially if you ate stuff you didn't mean to  I know, that hot dog just jumped on your plate I hit the gym today, doing my own routine for abs.  Leg lift on the chair, straight and v ab crunches on incline with medicine ball side crunches with weights all of these again on the exercise ball crunches and planks Whew, I hurt.....  In a good way!! So my friends, Did You Move To Lose and or Maintain Today?  Come on and lets get back on track. Hey the summer is half over!!!! Take care, Kathy

Hi Kathy & everyone, Due to various cir****tances, my dh & I didn't do a darned thing over the holiday--talk about big duds!!  However, I didn't have to face any big ol' picnics w/ mountains of food!  We did have some good grilled meat the past couple evenings and some delicious corn on the cob with every meal!  I know the corn is starchy, but . . . I get it really fresh from a vendor right outside of town . . . and it is SO sweet and tender!!  So that's just a splurge I'm willing to make! Yest. we had a lot of rain throughout the whole day, but in the afternoon, it was pleasant and breezy for awhile, so I went for a bike ride by myself.  Rode at a medium to fast clip for almost an hr. and was sweatin' like crazy by the time I got home! Today--not sure why I've felt more sluggish than usual.  I did mow the lawn (push), which takes me about 45 min.  Right now I'm going out to take a walk--really only planning on about 30 min.   Isn't it fun to have a weekend right around the bend, right after a holiday?!

Hi Jo, Wow you guys had rain?  We didn't get anything, not a drop! Well it sounds like you had a great weekend.  I love those lets kick back and enjoy weekends.  I and LOVE corn on the cob..yummy!!! I have to get one of those push mowers, now that has to burn some cals.  Enjoy your walk and see ya soon... Take care, Kathy

Hi, yes I got in my exercise today. 2.5 mph - 3 mph at 0.3 - 0.7 incline  for 30 minutes. My grown son walked in while I was doing my routine and commented that I was flying! He usually sees me gimping around from my bum knees and was surprised. I told him the exercise made me feel better, it has to be the endorphins released during exercise. Sher

I got to move it move it, I got to move it move. it ...and i did. To the tune of 30 minutes on the eliptical minus 300 calories, 1/2 mile walk at 7.5 incline and 3 mph, bye bye 100 calories and weight training. Dread going to the gym, but love it afterwards.

Ok great Melting Mel!!  Not only am I blown away from your workout, now I have that song in my head I am that way also, I love going to the gym but find it hard to get up out of bed in the morning. I am not a morning person.  But I feel so much better after going. Keep up the awesome job!!!  You are an inspiration!!! Take care, Kathy

am I the only guy here        :') I rode my road bike 25 miles  through the back road and corn fields in NW illiniois after work and burnt off 1,650 calories according to my fancy bike computer

Yes you are the only guy but a most WELCOMED GUY!!!! Hey, I am in Plainfield, between Naperville and Joliet.  What area of IL are you from? You have to tell me where to get one of those bike computers?  Bike shop? That is fantastic, 1650 cals!!!!  How long did it take you to do 25 miles? Thanks for stopping by and inspiring us ALL!!!! Take care, Kathy
