NO PAIN! Nopey....drop back the weights, FOR SURE!
Gawd, I haven't made it to the gym since Wednesday....this is CRAZY.0 -
Hi! Wondering if I can be a cool kid too? :-)0
-
TODAY, I LIFT!
BOOM!0 -
Good Luck Kelly Sue!!! You can do it!!! Your grandson pic is adorable!!! :-)0

Got my lifting done. Feeling MUCH better, today! I am starting "90 days of Venus"....just basically making sure I am progressing on the nutrition/fitness front (tired of trying to be PERFECT and figure "progression" is a better thought!)0
-
I have made it through a week of the 30 day shred! So pleased with myself for sticking with it every day. Feel like I can already feel the benefits. Anyone else do that workout?

Thanks Grammanut!! I do love that boy!
I walked on my lunch break today since I will not be at the gym until Saturday. I have an all day training to attend tomorrow and we have to leave by 7:30 to be there by 8:30. The only problem for me is that I have to drive almost 1/2 hour to meet up with the other people attending the training and then we have about an hour drive to get there, plus Hubby is going to work out and I have to drop him off before I leave in the am. I get done earlier than normal, but by the time the transportation is added on, it will be 5:00 before I get back. LOOONNG DAY!0 -
That *is* a LONG DAY, KellySue!!!
I am going back to the gym, today....to LIFT (again!)0 -
Happy Friday Cool Kids...Hope all of you are well and in good spirits.
My trainer took it to me yesterday. MY HRM was at 550 when we were done. We are going to start more training so I can be ready for my first 5k in July.
Beeps, I know one way or another you are going to get your lift in.
Pickles I have never done the 30 day shred, yet I have heard good things about it.
KellySue--I hope you made out well with training and not as busy today.
Have a great day everyone. Remember to encouage someone, it may be the dose of medicine they need.
BOOM!!!!!!0 -
....i love the support, caramel!
I got NO lifting in....got called away to a lunch, as a favour to my boss.

Beeps, that means double duty for you tomorrow.
I am really enjoying the weights. I am reading all this stuff on your first 5k run. I will read a 5k for dummies book at this point (lol).
Happy Friday everyone0 -
Yeah, it SHOULD mean "double-duty" tomorrow....but it won't.
I'll plop in a weight-training session on my normal sunday rest day....no problemo!0 -
Hi cool kids, hope you are well.
I took step-intense training today and the weight lifting part was great as usual.
I hope all of you had a great weekend.
Beeps were you able to do double duty?0 -
Good Monday Morning Cool Kids! Survived training Friday- it was actually a very good training and the presenters were very entertaining!
Made it to the gym Saturday for my cardio workout and then Sunday went for a ride on my bike as it was an absolutely gorgeous day! Today I did go to the gym and did my scheduled circuit workout.
Tomorrow I hope to start Day 1/Week 2 of the C25K program- hopefully it won't rain. I find that I enjoy running outside so much more than I do inside.
Keep up the good work everyone!! Have a great day!0 -
caramel - I did NOT do any "double duty"....was time-crunched, boooooooooo. I did WAY too much cardio this weekend! (It just makes me hungry...)
So, back to the weights, today, and will work on increasing my strength for the next few months....that means fewer reps (in the 6- to 8- range) and higher weights! yay! That also means time saved....which is great....I want my work-outs in-and-done in 60!0 -
Good afternoon!
Made it through Level 1 of 30 Day shred! Feeling so much stronger.
Hope everyone is having a good start to the week. :-)0 -
It will be a GREAT WEEK, for sure!
BOOM!0 -
Happy Monday Cool Kids.. Ran my first ever Trail Run 5k on Friday night....It was... rough but I finished. I placed 86th out of 88..LOL But I am very proud of myself and have no where to go but up.
Hope everyone has a great Monday0 -
Skoal from sunny Sweden!
Marathon is complete.
Lots of walking / sightseeing now.
Stockholm is a beautiful city, but folks aren't overly friendly or helpful.
We are finally starting to get the groove of things....finally!
It was quite a trip getting here.....so many delays. Added a full day to our travels, which equated to longer jet lag.
Just wanted to pop in and say "he" (pronounced hey in Swedish). :happy:0 -
Hey cool kids
Hope all of you are well and in good spirits.
Sderski, glad you made it safely and getting acclimated. Hope you are having a wonderful time.
Faytwain, congrats on your Trail run. Are you signed up already for your next one?
Pickles, let me know how you like the 30 day shred.
Beeps, I know your game face is on. Kick butt...
I am sore from extreme fit and expect nothing less.0 -
Good Morning All!
Sdereski- glad to hear you made it to Sweden and were able to finish your marathon. Too bad people aren't that friendly or helpful- makes it a bit more uncomfortable.
Faytwain- congrats on finishing you first 5k trail run. Maybe that will be me someday!
I completed Day 1 of week 2 in C25K this morning. It was an interesting run- while I was on the trail that I run, I saw 4 turtles- bigguns! I am sure they were on their way into the water, but definitely an unusual sight to see so many at one time on the trail itself.
Have a great day all!0 -
faytwain - congrats on finishing the race and you are a GREAT person for getting off the couch and "DOING" - BOOM!
"Hey" from Canada, too, sdereski! I would love to see Sweden....enjoy!
caramel - hope you aren't too sore for another round o' fitness today - BOOM!
KellySue - turtles?!?!? How bizarre! And how WONDERFUL! ZOOM! for the run.
I am going back to the gym to lift, today. BOOM!0 -
Good evening cool kids......
Beeps I am ready for another round. I know you will kick can at the gym.
KellySue did you happen to take photos of the turtles? I would have lost my focus after seeing them, As I love animals.
Good night cool kids
As beeps would say......BOOM0 -
Happy Hump Day! This week seems to be dragging for me- probably because I am on vacation next week. Ugh! Oh well- only three more days to get through. We are going to see my hubby's family this weekend and my daughter and grandson are going with us. His family has only seen pictures of Jake so that should be fun. That is only for the weekend though and after that we have no big plans. We are talking about taking a day trip to Alexandria Bay and maybe spending a day with my parents, but otherwise- just hanging at home and relaxing.
Caramel- I didn't take pictures- I didn't want to stop my run to focus too much on them because I was afraid that I wouldn't finish. LOL. It was pretty cool though. I will be running the same trail tomorrow- if they happen to be out again- which is not very likely- I will try to take a picture for you!
I am supposed to lift on Friday, but my right shoulder started bothering me last evening- not really sure why or what I could have done to aggravate it, but we will have to see how things go.
Have a great day everyone!0 -
How are you feeling today, caramel??
I did go lifting yesterday, but my back was NOT ready for more deadlifts and i did have to sub-in weighted hip thrusts after that first set. I don't lift again until Thursday and that is probably a good thing!
KellySue - how fun to introduce your grandson to hubby's relatives!! I KNOW you will be "proud" and "doting"!
Another round of lay-offs at work....I kind of wish they would let me go because I really can't take this stress anymore....it would be terrible to be laid off - but then the die is cast and life shall go on. Lingering just feels like pure h*ll.0 -
Hey cool kids. Hope all of you are well.
Beeps-I know the stress of watching and seeing layoffs. We acquired another company and they're looking for redundancy in order to eliminate people, so the stress is present with my office. Work is becoming difficult to find. It's not what you know, but who you know these days. I really hope the best for you.
KellySue-- that is so nice of you to offer to take pictures. I am truly a kid when it comes to animals.
I boxed and had my personal training session today. My body is sore.
I am not doing so hot with this running. I am second guessing myself for the run. I ran today and felt like I was going to have a heart attack. I really admire people who can run and enjoy it.
Have a great night everyone.0 -

You are very kind! Thank you for thinking of me....
I do feel quite sad and down and even though I am exercising and trying to get a good night's sleep, this "funk" is likely related to work stress. Boooooooooooooooooo.
Anyway, I get to go to the gym and lift, today, and I am starting a new "module", which is always fun! (Not new to me because I have done it before, but not in about 6 months!)0 -
Morning all! Did my run today, but sad to say, no turtles. I thought this would probably be the case. Once they crossed the path to the water, they usually don't stray too far from there until it gets cold again.
The running is actually getting easier and a bit more comfortable. I actually look forward to doing it which wasn't the case when I first started running back in March. I find that it's all in the breathing. If I can get a good breathing rhythm down, I'm good.
Still planning on lifting tomorrow, shoulder seems a bit better today. We'll see how things go.
Long day at work today. Our annual meeting is tonight. They do awards and elect new officers to the board. They have asked a few of the people from my program to come and do a short performance so I am taking two singers and a lady who writes beautiful poetry over. It should be fun, but probably won't be done until 7:30 or so.
Have a great day everyone!0 -
Happy Friday cool kids. Hope all of you are well and in good spirits.
KellySue, I would love to know how you are making out with running. I tried yesterday and obviously I am not breathing correctly. I always sound like I am about to have an asthma attack or something.
Beeps--How are you doing today?
Any plans for the weekend? I need to wash and wax my car, go to the gym and the normal weekend stuff.
I hope all of you have a great weekend.0 -
I'm doing great! It is Friday....and they don't lay people off on Fridays, lol!
No lifting, today....and my son has a baseball tournie all weekend, so I will be sitting out in the sunshine (but cold here - winter jacket will still be close at hand!).
How is everyone else?!?!?0
