Hi fitness buddies.

I've missed you - thanks Jaelle for pulling me back.. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I've been having a miserable time this year with my sinuses - makes me feel like sleeping all day. :sick: :sick:

Today I managed to get in 25 minutes on the elliptical and 25 minutes on the recumbant bike - hill work for both. That is a pretty big day for me, so I am glad I popped those Advil and ignored the head.

Now I should be able to eat people food (not rabbit food) for dinner. :noway: :noway:

Hope you are all having a great day..

I wasn't able to get to the gym yesterday. Settled for a little walk with my dog. I love the encouragement, so I will get there today. (as soon as I get the family settled and fed)

mandersen16

Every little bit of work helps! Don't get too discouraged. Even the walk with the dog is minutes spent away from teh couch (that's my downfall).

I love facebook so I'll see you there momtothreebabies!

nicolet04

well i got my workout in....it wasnt hip hop abs cause i am just feeling really drained. i did 1 hour on my staionary bike and hopefully later i will do another hour!!!

momtothreebabies

ooh hip hop abs! that looks sooo fun! ROFL.
Well, im off for now. I will see everyone tomorrow!
Love, Jaelle

heyjude78

hi ladies! I've been doing pretty well eating / working out consistantly. I totally didn't want to work out yesterday because I was not feeling well and was really tired and at about 8pm I couldn't take it anymore and I went to the gym! It felt good to go and I'm not that sore today! It's good to keep it up!

oh yeah, I put on a pair of my jeans that wouldn't of fit me a week ago - today they fit! yay!

Hello to those of you who are new(er than me!) and all the rest of you!!

I was just about to ask how you all find ways to work out if you don't have any exercise equipment at home...it is soooo cold here I really dont' want to drive to my workout class (thank goodness they are free!)...and then I read through the recent posts and just got some great ideas!
Thanks to Jaelle for the running in place idea and nicolet for the squats while doing dishes! I'm going to try both right now!

I am really struggling finding ways to have fun and still get a good workout...dragging myself to cycling 3 times a week by myself and where I am the youngest there by at least 10 years is no fun:ohwell:
If you have any more ideas, I'd sure appreciate it. Keep up the good work!!

renae77 and i did this workout saturday, so good luck...

start with 20 push ups
20-60 crunches
20-90 jumping jacks
40 lunges
~~add 40 jumping jacks between each exercise~~
run in place for 2 minutes
30 reverse crunches
one minute of wall sits while doing bicep curls
30 jumping jacks with weights~~palms down
run stairs for 2 minutes holding weights~~if no stairs do butt kickbacks
20 more push ups
20 bicycle crunches
~~don't forget your jumping jacks between each exercise

you could also add jumping squats (go down in a squat position and jump up then landing back in a squat postion)

pinkyjane48

Well, I was looking for a fitness buddy of my own but it looks like you have a good group going! Any room for one more?

Im coming back *again* and since I'm still getting over a gnarly cold, I'm starting slow- 25 minutes on the elliptical yesterday, plan to do it again today and Pilates tomorrow.

Heres hoping! lol

renae77

Hey everyone! I missed you all today but I went back to work and I have 2 more 12 hour days to go. I really don't get a lot of exercise in except for what I do at work. I am on my feet all day and pick up heavy stuff most of the time and lots of twisting, blah blah blah. I have been squating to pick things up now instead of bending over and I can feel that for sure! I hope everyone is doing really good. Catch you all later!

Hello (again) Fitness Buddies!!
I tried to post earlier today but my daughter had other plans for me! LOL!! I could only get out the Hello part!! Anywho, I decided to keep the girls home today so no step class for me. However, I remembered that I have a Jillian video - The Cardio Kickbox. It was pretty fun! The time really went fast, it was only 25 minutes though & while it was pretty tough, it left me wanting more. So, after that I did my tread mill program for 40 minutes. And, I also did my 100 push up challenge workout. Busy, Busy, Busy!! :drinker:

Great to see everyone here! Keep up the good work!! :bigsmile:

chickadee10

Hello everyone! I haven't been able to update in a while. Well, Sunday I hurt my feet on the tredmill by putting blisters on them. I'm probably not going to walk on the tredmill until Friday, to let my feet heal. I've been so busy today.

sumiemama

Hello everyone. I need a little help here. I have been feeling so tired the last few days. I get my 30 min. workout done but the rest of the day I feel so drained. I've been eating my calories and trying to not go too over or too under. Any suggestions? How do you all get over this feeling? Thanks.

momtothreebabies

WIth Love,
Jaelle

mandersen16

I've been feeling really tired too. I am ALWAYS tired right after working out when most people say they are energized. I have had the hardest time getting up in the morning. But I am from Nebraska and it's -14* out so I think it has something to do with that. My body is trying to hibernate!

jennibutler1

Hi! I'm new to the group! Do we have a weigh in day or anything lik that?

sumiemama

Thanks for the vitamin tip. I will try it. Hope this feeling goes away. I wish winter weather was a factor for me. Cal. today will be in the 80's. No excuses.

pinkyjane48

lol sumie, me too! I watched the news before going to the gym this morning, and I was like, "dang. I really dont have a reason NOT to go!" lol keep it up!

mandersen16

Well, then I am COMPLETELY jealous. I'm sure if I lived in Cali though I would still find a reason to skip working out. I just wish it would be a habit already!

I love working out when I finally get there, it's just the getting myself there.

SammyD

Hi! I'm new to the group! Do we have a weigh in day or anything lik that?

Nope, no weigh in!! Just check in with what you've done exercise-wise: what worked for you, what didn't, what you feel good about, maybe how you've missed a day or two

It's whatever you feel like saying and whatever keeps you motivated. Welcome!

And Nicolet...that workout may just kill me, but I'm in!

nicolet04

i just got finished with my workout today!!! im still feeling sick so i took it easy today and did a 1 hour 45 mins on my stationary bike(light effort)!!! i hope i get over this soon so i can kick it back up!!!

renae77

Hey everyone! I had a long 12 hour day today. And to top it all off, I believe I am getting sick too. Nicole did you give me your cooties?? I know you were trying to get rid of them, but to me?? Awww come on now! That's just wrong! Is this the kind of support you wanted? A friend to take anything you offered including your cooties?? LOL!! Hope everyone had a great day!!! No workout for me, work about killed me.

sanifrey

Just checkin in!! Today was my rest day. It's so hard for me to take a rest day. I guess I'm afraid tp fall into old habits. Does anyone else feel that way?? I really can't wait to get back into it tomorrow!! I'm glad to see all you who are keeping busy! And I must say, Nicole, you are crazy with that bike!! And being sick too!! You go girl!! :bigsmile:
