    :flowerforyou: today is Isagenix cleanse day---the closest I get to a rest day
    I walked the dogs in the morning and did some easy work in the yard but by noon I was in the house watching a movie with DH and folding laundry, and when the dogs needed walking again, I let him take them.

    Day 1 - 10 (5/1 - 5/12) 1000 (squats, leg presses, marching pairs)
    Day 11 - 22 (5/13 - 5/24) 1150 (marching pairs, knee raise pairs, side-lying leg raises, leg presses) *make up for missing 50!!
    23 - 6/5 - 100 knee raises
    24 - 6/6 - 100 elliptical steps (from therapy)
    25 - 6/7 - 100 knee raises
    26 - 6/8 - 100 knee raises w/ dance video
    27 - 6/10 - 100 knee raises and a walk w/ the hubby

    I thought this was amusing... I decided to try one of the aerobic dance videos available on Netflix, and the first dance in the one I tried was essentially the knee raises I already do with some arm stuff and side to side steps thrown in. :laugh: So original! :glasses:

    Day 65 - 100
    Day 66 - 100
    Day 67 - 100

    Thursday I added several other calisthenics along with my squats. I've also been adding calf raises on some days. Barbie has got me thinking that I shouldn't just stand there while I brush my teeth, so if my squats are already done, I do some calf raises. :smile:

    Jem-girl - nice work. Sounds like you're ready to make your own exercise video to sell.

    It was good to get away for a few days, but also, nice to be home. I've been keeping my calories in maintenance range. But, need to get right back into my routine.

    :flowerforyou: Jem-Girl, I'll bet it was more fun to do the knee raises to music :bigsmile:

    :flowerforyou: Clover, I read somewhere "if you're moving, you're losing" so I never like to stand still so it's important to do something instead of just standing there while you brush your teeth or do the dishes or stand in line at the market or hold the dog leash

    :bigsmile: :bigsmile: we have sunny weather so I'm headed out to do more of my yard project :bigsmile:

    Day 69 - 100

    I took another page out of Barbie's book and held some dumbells while doing my squats. 25 - no weights, 25 - 5 lb each hand, 50 - 8 lb each hand. I'm thinking about getting a heavier pair one of these days. Also, went for a bike ride yesterday evening since my daughter and husband went to a movie. My son was home, but he was playing video games in his room, as usual.

    Icandoit, you're doing very well with your squats and crunches. My belly could use a few crunches :-P I just picked up some more annual plants for my yard on clearance at Rite Aide. We had hail last week that took out some of my others.

    Jem-girl, as long as you do something every day, I think you'll see results that you are pleased with.

    Barbie, what are you doing in your yard?

    MuffRuff you must be melting. I'm ok up to about 92 or 93. After that, I wilt.

    :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: MuffRuff, your hot weather sounds like a challenge....I hope you have air conditioning where you live and in your car...... i wouldn't like going out in that heat..where I live the temperature rarely goes above 75.....today it barely got to 60.

    :bigsmile: Jem_Girl, your creativity is admirable...doing something challenging every day is the key.

    :bigsmile: Clover, my 15 pound dumbbells were my Valentine present from my husband.......my yard project is mostly about moving rocks and creating a rock bed all around the house and moving some littler rocks to the edge along the street where the rocks are thinning out....I also have a few seeds planted in pots......I'll eventually put them in the ground when I figure out where I want them to go and after hubby finishes painting the fence...we moved to this house to have less yard work so everything we're doing is intended to make life easier.

    Day 1 - 10 (5/1 - 5/12) 1000 (squats, leg presses, marching pairs)
    Day 11 - 22 (5/13 - 5/24) 1150 (marching pairs, knee raise pairs, side-lying leg raises, leg presses) *make up for missing 50!!
    23 - 6/5 - 100 knee raises
    24 - 6/6 - 100 elliptical steps (from therapy)
    25 - 6/7 - 100 knee raises
    26 - 6/8 - 100 knee raises w/ dance video
    27 - 6/10 - 100 knee raises and a walk w/ the hubby
    28 - 6/11 - 100 elliptical steps
    29 - 6/14 - 100 knee raises and a walk w/ the hubby

    I'm thinking of adding in crunches as part of my 100. I know they're not really a leg activity, but I think working on my core (which is very weak) will help with everything else I do. Plus I just hate pooching out below my waist. :grumble:

    Day 71 - 100 - half with my weights.
    Day 72 - 100 - some with weights, 25 crunches, 25 bicept curls each arm, and 125 standing calf raises while folding the laundry.

    My yard is trying to get my attention. I've been a little lax the last few days. I like gardening. Gardening is a hobby. Yard work is a job.

    no yard work today.....just dog walking in the morning, then line dance class and then after lunch i taught a two hour beginner line dance class.....I plan to spend the evening sitting :bigsmile:


    doing part leg and part crunches sounds like a super idea----it's the challenge and the consistency that really matters....I'm thinking of doing something more core oriented when I finish my 100 days of lunges

    what I do in the yard I call "garden puttering" and i enjoy every minute of it and take great pride in the results.:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    06/16/2012 - 500 squats and lunges

    I finished the first week of Jillian Michaels's Ripped in 30 today. It was a bit tough in the beginning, but got easier as the week went on.
