I need a fitness buddy....

Hey buddies!!

I burned tonight on the treadmill - 473 cals!! I feel great but I am so ready to go to bed & get some rest! I've been using my wii fit in the evenings & it's made me aware of another part of my quad that I didn't know was there! It's been sore for a few days & it took me a little time to loosen it up tonight while working on the treadmill. It's great to feel it working!

Have a great night everyone!:drinker:

Good for you... I wish I had burned that many. I'm not sure how I'm going to burn any tomorrow night as I am going to see Motley Crue

Which one is hurting your quads? I want to try it. :happy: The Shalom jump on skis tears my booty up. But, I have become a champion on it and in my house. :bigsmile:

LOL! I wish I knew!! I've done so many things on there! I'm thinking it might be the hula hooping though!! I kinda go crazy on that one!! I love the ski jump too! So much fun!!

Hi Buddies!

I didn't do a dam thing since Saturday... Aunto Flo is in the house.

I had my clothes on for the gym and had to stop at home because I forgot my headphones.. can't workout without my tunes. Well, I never made back out of the house I felt so tired, I actually fell asleep at 6 pm. :blushing: Oh well the good news is I still had 21 calories left yesterday
Today I'm all set, got all my tools with me, and will be back tomorrow to report how many calories I burned.

You guys are keeping it moving and I so appreciate it... I was really thinking of this thread and how dissappointed I was going to be not being able to report any exercise. That is a good thing.

Nicole - I looked into the PX90 and it has all this other equipment... do you also have to buy those things to get the full benefit... do you have the equipment?

Superjewels - you are on a roll girl, Keep up that momentum?

Shannan - how is it going with the calories? have you checked out some of the others choices for the day... this morning I had:

7:00 a.m.
1 banana
2 cups of coffee with 2% milk and Splenda
9:30 am
1 - alternative bagel
1 wedge of laughing cow cheese spread
2 turkey sausage patties - Jimmy dean

all that was only 432 calories. BTW, How the motley crew concert? You should have burned calories jumping around

Sanifrey - So glad you are discovering different muscle with the Wii

Kerimcdonald - What is paczkis?

I went to my step class today! It was great! My regular trainer is back from vacation & it was great to be back into the old routine again!! I just love step aerobics!!

This afternoon I ended up getting a very bad headach! I was able to rest a little this afternoon & now it's more of just a dull numb pain. My husband is picking up dinner & once I eat I'm going to bed! Gotta get my rest for tomorrows workout!!

Shannon - enjoy your concert & stay strong against temptations!!

Spicy - you go get em tomorrow girl!! maybe your body just relaly needed the rest!

Keri - good luck!

Keep movin' buddies!! You're all awesome!!

What a great workout. I did a water aerobics and freestyle laps class. For 1 hour, I burnt 839 calories and I burned 464 calories on the stationary bike. I hope I worked off those paczkis, cause I definitely feel like I worked something off. I am finally cleared to go back to work in March, so that will up my calories by 400 a day.

Spicy- paczkis are like a jelly filled donut only bigger and fattier. They are generally eaten on fat tuesday to help you say good-bye to whatever you are giving up for lent. They generally run about 500 calories/pastry, and 30 grams of fat. Huge damage, but I have to say, so worth it. 1 day a year. I can fall off the wagon and get dragged behind it for a while once a year.


I hope everyone had a great day!! See you all tomorrow:drinker:

This is an off day for me from my PT class, so I walked a little and did some ab work. I just have to share this new ab exercise I learned with you all! (It's very possible that its only new to me, but bear with me!)

- Lay on your back with your arms over your head
- Either grab onto some heavy free weights if you have them, or use a chair or the couch, anything that won't move.
- Keeping your legs as straight as possible, raise them up until they are at least straight up in the air, over your hips, go farther if you can.
- Slowly lower them as close to the floor as possible without touching it.
- Repeat as many times as you can in 2 minutes, with a break in between sets.

Those are absolutely Killer!! We did them last night at my class and they were soooo hard, but my abs felt so good. I love it when you can actually feel an exercise working!

Keep moving!

Oh I SOOO love Step class!

I've done 2 saturdays in a row with this AWESOME instructor. It feels great when you know the routine and adding on is easy... Do you suffer from migraines? You probably needed some rest too.

OMG that sounds sooo delicious I'm glad I didn't know what it was :laugh:
You had a Fantastic workout yesterday! You are Kickin Butt Girl! I love swimming, but haven't tried it at the gym yet... I might try that this weeked, and use my HRM. I love trying new exercises and seeing how many calories I burn with each different activity.

Hi Sammy,
Thanks for sharing.
I've seen some people doing that ab move, but I haven't tried it myself... Glad to hear it really works. I try that as a new exercise and SHOCK my Abs

Welsome new fitness buddy!! :bigsmile:

Spicy- you are such a great motivator, and you're right, I hate being sick, but I love getting back into my routine and being able to report in, especially if I found something good. Swimming is sooo great for your body! Downside- I have to get into a bathing suit. That was traumatic, and for the first 10 minutes in the pool (surrounded by 90 pound teenagers) I tried to pretend I was in regular workout clothes. But after that, I was feeling great with the exercise and forgot about it. Sadly, they only have it on mondays and wednesdays, so today I will just be doing the stationary bike for 1 hour. This gym is great!! They have free childcare with your membership, and my daughter absolutely loves going there. So she's been on me to go. Every day. She's been getting motivation training from you hasn't she spicy!! :laugh:

Hello buddies!
I've missed you. I was sick with the flu for 2 weeks which turned into almost a month of not working out. Ugh! is all I can say... I have made it to the gym 2x this week and I'll be going today as well.

I am totally an emotional eater and I've been given some really difficult news a few days ago, so here is a chance to re-train my mind not to depend on eating for comfort.

Good Job Everybody!

heyjude- welcome back. I don't know what the tough news was, but I hope everything turns out okay.


Sanifrey- I hope your migraines get better. I get awful sinus migraines, so I feel for you. Great job going out and just strolling around. Fresh air is great for the kids and that double torture....umm stroller sounds like a workout all in itself!

hey everyone. I only did 45 minutes on the stationary bike and my feet started to hurt. Swimming tomorrow though. Even 45 minutes at race level was 573 calories and the swimming tomorrow will be almost 900. I am going to have a light snack before my cut off time.

I hope everyone is having a great day and keeping moving. See you all tomorrow!!

Hi Buddies!

We did a lot of upper body stuff tonight in class, and we did jump rope for cardio...I never realized how incredibly BAD I am at jump roping!!:laugh: I haven't done it since I was little, but it was pretty embarrasing for a dance team girl! ( I spent more time trying to untangle it then actually jumping, but I figure I got a solid 15 minutes of it in).

I love reading all your posts, you motivate me to wanna keep movin and eat better!! You rock!

SammyD

Hey Sammy! I love the new pic! The head tilt makes you look all sweet & innocent!

Keep up the good work!
