Hello all,
It's Marci, one of the newbies. I've got a question: how bad is it to NOT have a day off from working out? I like my wine, but I've been drinking way too much of it. Instead of going complete tee-totaler (which I don't think would last long, considering the amount of stress I'm under) could I work out every day, to earn some calories for a couple of glasses of wine after dinner? Would it harm me, in any way? I just want to lose 23 more lbs, but I don't want it to take forever. Does the human body really NEED a day off from exercising?

Depending on the exercise, yes. Actually no matter the exercise you should have one day of rest. Your body needs it to recover and come back stronger for another week of beating. I hate it but Sunday is my rest day, I don't even ride my stationary bike, all I do is stretch. My body certainly thanks me.

I think that it's somewhat subjective...if you are a hard core workout weight lifter or marathon runner, then yes, you need to rest and follow a program...I take a rest day when my body says "I can't do anymore". Otherwise, I keep going with various exercises that I enjoy. I guess, it depends on how much you work out. According to most health sites, we should be getting some light, moderate exercise 1 hour a day. We honestly weren't meant to be sitting around.

I totally agree.
I don't think most people work out hard enough to actually *need* a day off.
Of course, it's important to listen to your body.

Have found my thread home! I see my fellow lushes don't apologize for the liking of the drink. Neither do I. I love it! LOL! Constantly trying to incorporate my drinking into my weight loss. Had major drink and calorie surprise on Tuesday. Had about 6 delicious craft beers. 200 calories a pop! Am going to drink tonight but going to stick with my usual vodka/club soda and my goal will be to have just 5. or 6 Doing a cleanse starting Monday so I want to get my fix and be feeling fine when I get started.

Vodka & tonic with a twist of lime:drinker:

Like tonic but way to many calories and diet tonic tastes gross. so now its club soda or strait.

Goose on the rocks is my fav

Nope!!!:drinker:

LOL PBR, Busch Light and Miller Light are all on my most used.

Speaking of which, 10 for tonight and i have no guilt. Tomorrow is a TON of belly dancing (bootcamp, BOOYAH!) so I'm splitting the divide between tonight and tomorrow night's bachelor/bachlorette party. I might even throw some Jimmy Johns in there!

Love you guys!!!!! :drinker:

Are you still giving blood tomorow, Littlebunney? I'm just saying that it might not be a great idea after drinking tonight, not that you wouldn't of have thought about that yourself or anything...Just putting it out there!

Drinking and sitting on the computer is my typical weekend :laugh: . I Have to keep myself from ordering pizza and drunk rambling on facebook and twitter. Well since I live in a dry county me and some friends are going out to Carrabas and ordering pitchers of blackberry sangria :drinker:

Tomorrow I plan on hitting the beach which means I'll be drinking my calories instead of eating them :laugh: Nothing but beer and fresh fruit in my cooler!! LOL. I those days :bigsmile:

BUMP

I get tired of looking for this thread!! :bigsmile:

I haven't been on here for a while. I am starting Insanity on Monday and need to get the drinking out of my system this weekend because I am going to try to abstain from the booze for the next 60 days Hmm. We will see how that goes. Anyway, I enjoy beer and wine way more than I like to eat and have been really bad this month. So time for me to Detox. Wish me luck.
