2012 52 5/7 Challenge

2/7 with 30 day shred, and a 5 min WU on treadmill, follwed by a 10 minute mile and a 5min CD. BUrn some calories and got it finished early!

6/7 was 30 minutes on the treadmill at 5 a.m.! I HATE that time of morning but LOVE it when it's over!!!
Have an awesome weekend girls!!

Gosh... where has this week gone????
I am still sitting at 2/7 for the week.... was ill Sunday and Monday... migraine

Tuesday I did 45 minutes of weight training with the kids in the basement... forgot to wear my HR monitor... but still sore today so I did something right. Yesterday I ran 3.3 miles on treadmill before son suprised me coming home from school with his girlfriend for afterschool studying and dinner.... I guess she might as well get used to my smelly self!! haha She came from baseketball practice... so it was all good... we just both wanted the shower! ha!

Need to do a major store run.. but will try to get fitness in first today!!

Yesterday (4/7) I was at the gym while waiting for GS to finish school so he could trick or treat in the country. I warmed up on TM for 15 minutes then got in my full JMBR workout! I have had NO Halloween junk since last Saturday!
Today (5/7) was 2 miles on TM and JMBR.

Thanks Heather for your warm welcome, it really touched me :blushing:

Verda, I agree with what you wrote on the old thread "Did any of you notice that missou deactivated her account??
My thoughts are Thanks for the notice My 2011 52 7/7 challenge LEADER!! It would have been nice to know and we really do wish you the best!!!"

What I did was really rude and totally lacked any kind of leadrship on my part. I am sorry :flowerforyou:

Good job Ivy, Debra, Verda and Heather on your accomplishement last year and for continuing your journey this year. It is not always easy but you did it :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:


Here is a copy of what I wrote yesterday on the old thread


"Good morning everyone, I am back and I want to say that I am really sorry about last year. I was in a really bad place in my life. I had no more motivation to do anything. Magic Hands and I were having a really difficult time together, it is only now starting to get better. I stopped taking care of myself and what I was eating; good thing I did not gain so much weight; I am just back to 163 and I started this whole journey at 165. My body did tell me that I was bad though, I had a second and third heart attack within 36 hours last August. The first one was in 2007.

I am still having some problems with my heart, Just going out for a 15 minutes walk can be difficult. I am waiting for a test result I had in nuclear medicine that should tell the doctors what is wrong with me since nothing shows of my blood tests, my ECG or my echocardiogram. I should have an answer this week.

These days, I am doing a 15 minutes Yoga routine, even the easiest 20 minutes Pilates routine is difficult, I have to adapt it and I still feel some chest pain for a few hours after doing it. I did it once and now, I am going to wait until my heart problem is fixed to star over. The yoga routine is for my neck and shoulders, I am literally sitting at my desk while doing it.

If you'll have me again as your pal, I really would appreciate it. You were great friends. I know I didn't treat you right and again, I am really sorry about it."


Things are starting to get back on track for me but there is still a lot that needs to be done. By the way, if you don't want me around, I'll undestand :blushing: :blushing:

A shamefull Dominique :blushing:

Thanks Heather :flowerforyou:

Hey Verda, thanks a lot :smooched:

On Saturday, I did 20 easy sit-ups, a 15 minutes yoga routine for my neck and shoulders while sitting at my desk and a BIG 0.25 miles at 2m/h and 0% inclination in 7.5 minutes Ooh-Haa!!! My cardio-vascular system could't take more :yawn: Yesterday on the other hand, I cleaned my dishes, we don't have a dishwasher, placed diner in the slow cooker, peeled 2.5 lbs of carrots for a carrots and ginger soup and cleaned the little bit of dishes that I used for my cooking and had pain in my chest for several hours after that. That is as active as I can be :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

It is important tough that I keep on moving, I don't want to become a couch potato :noway: :noway: I really hope the test results I am waiting for show that something is wrong. I know that there is something but my body keeps on hiding it to the doctors :grumble:

Anyway, I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for a new week. My "exercice" today will consist of cleaning my bathroom

Because of my health issues, I probably will put the sailing the world idea aside but I will probably get myself a boat to sail on lake Champlain someday, I'll see, Because of that or thanks to that, depends on how you look at it, I will go on cruises instead

Hi Ivy girl!! Good to see you again!!!


2/7 was 6 miles on the TM along with JMBR! I get a break from her tomorrow!!!!

Good Morning... off to hit the elliptical, just a quick Hello!
Thanks for the coffee Missou!

Ivy.. I sometimes need breaks too... somedays I just get so moody... makes me mad that I have to try so hard and I get stuck it seems.... but we are in this for the long haul... we just have to keep trying and keep moving forward... that is all we an do!

Verda.. The JMBR... is that a weight training total body session? How do you like her? Are the long workouts... or do they vary? Just curious, I had been meaning to ask and keep forgetting... is this your second or third round with her? I thought you did her last year too... or am I confused?? haha that happens easily!
Hey Heather... I seen you got you run in early... good for you!!!

have a great day everyone!
