I need a fitness buddy....

O.M.G
I just got over being sick (cough, stuffed & fever) for the THIRD time in 6 weeks!
WAHT IS GOING ON!!!
So I'm back to the exercise routine tomorrow (again) after being MIA for a while (since Wednesday last week).
Good news is that I don't think I went over in calories that whole week (woo hoo!)

Hey people!! What I great day!! I've met a mini goal of reaching 175!! I was hoping to achieve it by March since that's the weight I was when I got pregnant & here I am, a few weeks early!! I'm so very happy & grateful to all of you here for pushing me & encouraging me to keep at it!!

My workouts today were my pushup challenge test = 40, so I'll be repeating week 5 to get stronger. And, I did Jillian's cardio kickboxing & the BL cardio max workouts 1 & 2, for a total burn of 528!!

Feelin' good!!

Keep movin buddies!! :drinker:

Hey,
I took a long walk /jog to go pay some bills today.Then I came home and did some toning.The weather has been weird for February this week.It was warmer and kind of nice today for a walk/jog.I really enjoyed it.It says it is suppose to be cold again next week though.So I am enjoying the good weather now for a few days.It's not much longer untill spring.YEA!I can't wait.

I have been cleared to do no impact yoga/stretching, and get to walk on crutches. No more wheelchair!!:happy: But I do have to admit that I've lost a half inch off of my upper arms, but I found it on my thighs. So I thought that no impact meant useless. Yikes!! It reallyis hard. Your core has to work twice as hard. So I'll do as I'm told and do 30 minutes every day except my rest day. Good luck to everyone! How are the mid weeks going?

Busy busy busy!!

I did the BL sculpt video & jumped on the treadmill as well as some ab work to bring my burn to 501. I just got finished scrubbing the floors & cleaning the bathroom!! I figured it took about an hour for that. I should've worn my heart rate monitor but MFP says 198 - so I figure it's probably closer to being about half of that! Anyway, I'm feeling great!! It's 60 degrees here & it's great to have the door open to let some fresh air in!!

Keep movin buddies!! :drinker:

i just got done with my workout for the day...i did my own circuit workout today. im in a hurry and and i dont have time to post the whole thing, but its similar to the ones that i have posted in the past! good job on those workouts!!! keep it up!!

I did the BL Cardio & treadmill for a burn of 588 according to my Polar!! Feelin' good!!

Keep it up buddies!! :drinker:

wow nicolet04, if exercise can make me excited about my housework, I am going to try much much harder LOL!! Great job on the routine though!

just got done with my workout....30 day shred level 2. i felt very weak today, i could hardly get through it.....maybe its cause i am still sick and i have worked out everyday this week....good thing tomorrow is a rest day!!! have a great weekend and keep up those workouts!!!!

So glad that I worked out early today because I am getting sick!! It started hitting me tonight after dinner. Now, I'm sniffling & sneezy & my head hurts! great...... Anyway, I did my week 5 day 1 of my pushup challenge & I did all treadmill for my cardio today! I just really felt like I needed to run!!

Tomorrow will probably end up being a rest/sick day, but that's okay because I was able to work out M-F this week!!

Keep it up!! :drinker:

Heeelllloooooo!! Where is everyone????

I'm still sick but I'm hoping to do a light walk on the treadmill! I just feel like I should do something!!

Keep movin!!

I haven't logged on in few days, whoops! But I have been working out! I started a new class called Physical Transformation that is really intense. It's a blend of cardio and strength training 3 times a week and its kicking my butt.
Tonight I did 5 min each of: jump roping, aerobic stair-stepping, kicks on a bosu ball, stationary bike and suicides...and that was just the warm up! Then we did a whole bunch of upper arm stuff with barbells and free weights and topped it all up with ab work.
The trick to this class is that the instructor won't let you use wimpy weights (so no 3 and 5 lbs like what I usually do!) and we do each exercise to fatigue point.
My arms are starting to get tired just from typing this I worked them so hard tonight! But I feel great!

That sounds awesome!! You should definately see some serious results from all of that!!

I'm still sick today & I haven't worked out since Friday (aside from some house work on Saturday) I really feel like I need to do SOMETHING today, so I'm hoping, hoping, hoping to maybe pop in a Biggest Loser dvd later! I figure that would be better then the boring treadmill! I'll be sure to report back & let you know!!

Hey everyone!! Hi Nicole! I hope you start feeling better soon. You have been sick for a while. Have you been getting any rest?? I haven't been doing any workouts but I have been working my butt off at work. Not too sure that it counts but I have been working so hard! My diet hasn't been good at all either so I haven't been too encouraging lately. I vow to get back on the bandwagon here soon. Hubby and I are supposed to start working out together this weekend. Hope everyone is doing good!!

thanks!! i feel like i have been sick for ever...some days r worse than others, but i always push through it and do something! i do give myself 2 rest days a week, but thats gonna be 0 now cause i started p90x and its 7 days a week. I feel like i get enough rest (8-9 hours of sleep at night) so i dont know whats the deal. it feels like an ongoing cold....maybe its the season! i will be glad when it gets warmer!!! so anyway..... jump back on the wagon cause i miss seeing you on here!!!

Sanifrey- I hope you feel better soon!! My daughter was sick with what sounds like the same thing, and she was miserable, so my heart goes out to you.

I haven't been on in a few days, I had family here, but I definitely did my workout. We live in a historic community, so we walked all over since it was warm and read the dates on buildings to try and find the oldest one. Goofy, I know, but it kept us walking around for 3 hours. Crutches are really hard to walk on for that length of time, but I totally feel it and I'm glad we did it.

Hi everyone!

Sanifrey - sorry you got sick, but so proud of you with sticking to "staying active". CONGRATS! on achieving one of your goals early.... You are really doing a great job!

Nicole - You are still one "Tuff Cookie" hope you are ding much better too.

Welcome! to the new names

My father passed away at the age of 81.... I was out of the country all last week. He didn't suffer and lived a full life I'm comforted to know that.

I returned on Friday and took a long walk with my dog... burned 740 calories... it was the middle of the day and I think the sun caused me to burn more calories than I normally do when I walk for 90 minutes. I haven't done anything since. :embarassed: I weighed myself this morning and I'm still 170... no gain, no loss.

I'm planning on doing the gym this afternoon... I hope I make it.

You guys are KICKING BUTT! I need you guys to keep it up so I can follow

I'm planning to go to the
