LMV - the thought of you salsacising and doing it to music in your head with the husband present.... now that is dedication - I scream at the husband if he dares to open the door an inch whilst I'm throwing myself around the room! However I will confess I often find myself salscising around the kitchen from the fridge to the sink to the oven etc.
Just waiting for my potatoes to finish cooking then I intend to salsacise whilst they are cooling. I've just done major heart surgery on my pedometer which has cracked, it did not like doing Jillian but every time it protested and threw itself across the room I just popped it back on (only the first time to get a count!) but now it's near death, battered by Jillian!
Right potatoes ready.0 -
Day 5 completed.
Sadly no time for Jillian and can't see her getting a look in again until Monday....
Did salsacise
Steps 11,114 = 60,846 which I'm pleased with as that was just moving around the house carrying potatoes from one floor to the next.
Be good Crackers!0 -
Days 6 & 7
Steps 6855 + 5035 total for week = 72,736
Well I managed to complete over 70,000 steps but I only did 2 shreds and 2 salsacises however it's been a busy working week.
LMV - hope you have fully recovered and made your way up to York? BM - hope you are safely back in Wales and in good time for St. David's day. Bracken - hope you are not snowed in?!0 -
I doubt I'm going to be able to exercise much this week as I'm so busy. However since it snowed overnight and all day today, I had a good work out with the snow shovel which I know is a calorie burner!0

Evening Crackers,
Well done on all the exercise last week MITM - didn't it show on the scales?!
Well, week 8 turned out to be a washout for me exercise wise so roll on the start of week 9 tomorrow. Things can only get better.

Evening Non-Shredders!
Didn't it - just show on the scales!!!
Not a brilliant start to this week steps 8297 + 8261 = 16,558 intend to make time to salsacise tomorrow no matter what!0 -
Days 3 & 4 steps 6409 + 7279 = 30,246
I'm too busy working this week to shred and I haven't even salsacised instead I have had 2 high calorie burning (I hope) sessions shovelling snow... My friend is in Vienna this week so I haven't even trotted around the village which explains my low step count, plus I'm sat working. I'm off to the UK on Saturday and of course after a winter with hardly any snow - there's a heavy snow storm forecasted on my doorstep that very day...0 -
It's very sad - my pedometer has died in the night! But is has served me well... I feel quite sad seriously it's just like when my scales gave up which I'd had for years and years and had been through so many ups and downs with me! So for the time being no more step counting but I will keep moving.0

That is sad..........but time to make friends with a new pedometer!

Hello Crackers,
Finally getting back into the exercise after feeling so grotty with this cold.
Day 8 of the Shred done. I wasn't looking forward to it after such a long break but it actually wasn't too bad. I'll try and get a bit of Rosemary in later as well.
Step levels haven't been brilliant this week, mostly between 5 - 10,000 so I need a good couple of days to hit my 50,000 steps a week target for March.
Keep going Crackers

Morning Crackers,
Day 9 of the Shred done. Feeling limp!

Just read through recent exercise posts. MITM and LMV, you've really done so well and soldiered on despite work and family demands. MITM, I agree - there should be the non-negotiable loss guaranteed with the Jillian workouts.
Here, I am slowly getting in some exercise again.
March 7 - 5720 steps.
March 8- 7472 steps.0 -
That's fantastic Bracken. Well done on getting back to it, I know how hard it is once you get out of the routine of exercising.
Day 10 of the Shred done. I'm a third of the way there and move on to workout 2 tomorrow. I think I liked that one the best so something to look forward to???............. no, "something to look forward to" is too strong, something bearable is more appropriate.
Will try and salsasize later and I will start keeping a better track of my steps again.
Well done again Bracken

LMV, love your sense of humour while attacking those daily shreds.
The continuing good weather got me outside again today for walking Nellie
Steps- 8447
plus a fifteen minute outdoor bike ride0 -
Evening Crackers,
Well, I have no recollection now of what it was I thought I liked about level 2 of the shred. Double jumps, all those planking based exercises.........didn't think I would make it to the end, but I did.
Day 11 of Shred - done
Steps 15,494 - much improved total
It was a beautiful sunny day with clear blue skies today so we took the opportunity to go for a lovely walk around Swansea Bay hence the good step total
Bracken, brilliant. Keep it up.

LMV - was there no 'ice skating' ?! Lucky you having a beautiful day, it was at least dry here in the south for a change but it's so grey... However I did walk down to the local shops and back up again with my groceries which is the most exercise I've done. I'm off to Winchester for the weekend tomorrow as the daughter is attending Peacejam at the university & we have no transport, as my parents are away so will stay 2 nights as it's an early start each day. I intend to walk by the river and shop until I drop! Glad to see you are out and about Bracken unlike you, back home in Austria we've had over 1/2 a metre of snow which I did not miss clearing!!!0

A rainy day here but managed to get Nellie out in the morning.
Total steps today- 7525.
Plus indoor cycling 20 minutes
LMV, well shredded. The walk sounds lovely and a great step total.
MITM, enjoy Winchester. Looking forward to hearing about your shopping picks.0 -
Steps today- 7230.
plus an outdoor bike ride for 15 minutes.0 -
Afternoon All,
MITM - there was ice-skating, but much of the rest of it was awful. I used to do Pilates once or twice a week which concentrates on developing core strength so I think I found the plank stuff much easier in the past. For a variety of reasons I haven't been for over a year and I really noticed the difference in doing workout 2.
Bracken - great exercise totals.
Steps for yesterday - 10,843
Still in birthday princess mode so no shred today!

This is very weird since I posted exercise yesterday and was sure it went up. I'll try to remember exact steps. It was 8000 plus, I think 8041 plus a 15 minute bike ride. And I had commented that I hoped you enjoyed your no shred day, LMV. Today- 7028 steps.0
