So, what's everyone got planned for the weekend that's fun, exciting, healthy, adventurous, etc.etc.?

I've not got anything great myself (just cycling), so thought I'd ask and live vicariously through y'all! :tongue:

    I'm running a 10K race this morning. I'll probably take my bike for a spin tomorrow depending on the weather!

    BTW, shorerider, I LOVE your bike jersey! Holy rollers... that's great!

    Im taking the kids to a WCU football game. Go Catamounts. I actually set my alarm to get up this morning to do my Turbo Jam although I did a new workout with it and I couldnt get all the moves so I only burned 232 calories. Im sure once I can do all the moves I will burn more. Hopefully walking up the bleachers and all the steps will burn some extra ones.

    You could purposefully sit in the nose-bleed section and walk up and down a few times--that should be enough to earn a hot dog or two at least :wink:

    I had laproscopic surgery yesterday to repair a double hernia in the groin and although I don't feel too bad today I'm going to take it easy today. Tomorrow, if all goes well I'll hand cut six acres of grass near the house instead of using the tractor.

    :noway: :noway: Sounds like you need to take it easy for more than a day! I think I'd have to wait on cutting the grass...

    Hmmmm, the training schedule calls for a 10 mile run tomorrow and today I'l spend some time in the garden harvesting potatoes and cleaning up 'stuff' that's done: tomato plants etc. Not that that's "exercise" but it's better than sitting on me *kitten* watching the telly! :bigsmile:

    We have two car shows, so there is a lot of walking, then I need to do the grocery store thing and then clean the house and laundry.

    Cooking some things to prep my food for the week, 20 minutes of calisthenics and 30 minutes of my new used FREE treadmill (wi/weights)!! :wink:

    Tommorow, 1 1/2 hours at the gym after church.

    Teaching Turbo Kick and then subbing Pilates this morning... hehe.
    Sundays are my rest days... normally I try to get outside but it's quite dank and dreary here this weekend.

    I am going to spin class this morning and then I'll probably do circuit training tomorrow or another spin class. I ate 1000 cals over yesterday. I guess this is what people call a free day. It happens when I go out with the coworkers...the last time when I went over was at the same place...after work. I feel like a fat cow today. Some people say that upping the cals for a day is good for your metabolism....I will NOT use this as an excuse to binge every other week. I personally don't believe in the free day.

    I'm at home! :D
    I asked my siblings over breakfast if they wanted to walk with me this morning and amazingly they said yes! So I'll be walking with them this morning and later tonight, I think we're going to the pow wow. I have no idea what's on the agenda for tomorrow (aside from all the studying I have to get done this weekend).

    I played in our basketball semi-finals today- we made it to the premiership! Won by one point in overtime!! A very exciting and exhausting game, but so worth it! Next Saturday we have the Grand Final game, so wish me luck! Tomorrow I am doing body pump in the morning and a hike in the afternoon.

    You'll like this one shorerider: husband and I signed up for a 40 mile ride in October and we are starting to train this weekend. We will use our regular bikes - a hybrid for him and a cheap mountain bike for me.

    WAHOOO! Another joins the ranks! 40 miles is easy--you'll do fine. Take it slow, increase by no more than 10% every week. And you'll breeze through it.

    Well, of course I'll suggest bicycling! Easy on the joints, fun, and you can go as far and as fast as you wish. Burns up great calories, too. If you don't have a bike, then just start walking. Any amount of exercise will have a great impact on your levels.

    Not sure if all your health problems will "fix themselves" though. I know that no matter how healthy I get, I'll always be a diabetic (type 2 as well), so am resigned to that. BUT, my goal is to get where it's controlled by diet and exercise. So far, I've managed to get rid of one of my diabetic pills and come off the cholesterol pill as well.

    Hi! I too could not stand the thought of exercise. I was so tired. I started with a walk. A simple walk with music, which always gets me moving faster. I burned 150 cals from that walk, not much but a real start.
    Now I walk 2 miles in 35-40 minutes, have worked up to jogging part of that time (a SMALL part but still doing it!!)
    I have to say I am no longer tired all the time. I think the exercise,and better eating habits, have helped me sleep better. Also my energy levels are up, up up.
    It takes a little time but keep a journal of how you feel now, and add to it every day. This is a great way to see your accomplishments and changes.
    Good luck:flowerforyou:

    Oh-and I planned on sitting around and veggiing this weekend, but now I guess I have to get off my lazy butt and go to the walking park. Bringing DH who just agreed to go.:noway: ..OMG...this should be interesting!:glasses:

    Thanks for the post Shorerider!

    I told my hubby that I wanted to do that but we dont have the Money right now for it and he has no more vaca time to take off to watch the kids. So I have already planned it for next year. Where are you doing yours? Tell me how it goes afterwards.
