Exercise and fitness discussion

Vick, are you telling us about you getting frisky?  Give the details girl......

I walked the dogs 2 miles today, that's all folks.........

LOL Vick.. Is he being accomodating I hope? Lots of guys would get into that physically aggressive woman in the sac!
Good luck at your appt on Oct 2nd. I will not be home then, will take my laptop, but not sure how often I'll get a chance to check in... Will also have my cell phone, but will only be on during free time.
I am getting all excited about this retreat. It is specifically for WLS post-op one year or more. Katie Jay is holing it, and she is a total sweet heart! It is right on the Ocean front, with early morning beach walks for exercise. That'll be more like play for me. Love the beach and water.
Hoping by next summer I will be holding retreats of my own. A wellness life coach I know (her name is Patrice...spelled different from mine but said the same) and I are planning to hold one next summer. Not sure where yet. We are both really excited about it.
Got in lots and lots of walking today in several short spurts. Then did some housework today that I have been procrastinating on.

Got my new pedometer today. Gotta set it up and put that baby to good use!
Hugs!

Hi all..while I was In North Carolina at my retreat I wAS BLESSED WITH BEING ON THE oCEAN fRONT. i WALKED OVER 7 MILES ON THE BEACH 2 DIFFERENT DAYS, AND ONE OF THE DAYS i WALKED JUST SHY OF 10 miles. (sorry hit the cap lock key..ooops)  With the altitude being soooo much lower, I never lost my breath and power walked almost the whole walk each day. I am back home now and beat. Not much walking in today. And the altitude is getting to me. I am winded just talking.. lol. Didn't think I'd have to adjust back to this altitude here.. strange.
But I got in LOTDS of walking and activity while I was away, and plan to get back at the walking tomorrow. Am beat today, and need to just catch my breath and rest up.
Have missed you all!

I got a cool new pedometer, counting my steps each day.  Only got 5000 of so each of the last 2 days of travel, most of the rest of the time I was gone, I got around 10,000 steps.  Today 10,423 steps.  7000 of them during my 60 minute walk on the treadmill.  The dogs and I took just short walk tonight, misting and my yorkie, better known as 'miss prissy' during wet weather, does not like to walk when she may get wet.  This is the same yorkie that jumped into a hot tub to get near to me.  Go figure.  Good to be back home and among my friends. 

Hrad to get steps in when you are riding in a car! You did great!

12287 steps today.

12596 steps today.

9567 steps today.

Hi Veronica, So good to see people using the exercise thread.  I agree with Patrece.  Wanting to wish you well, just keep with your program and it will happen.  I am just about 6 weeks post surgery myself.  Looking forward to starting to lift weights this week.  I will probably have your same concern at some time.  Take care.  Hugs, Kathy
