  • In any case, I am thinking of joining one in later summer... I currently have a membership to the local university Recreation Center (has everything you could want, including a rock climbing wall & high ropes course). BUT, it's only open from 6:30am until 10pm M-F & noon-8 or so on the weekends while school is in session.…
  • Actually, that's 66.666667%... 2/3 < 3/4 And I sincerely hope your dinner is at lease 500 calories. Even on a starvation mode diet -- 200 calories breakfast, 100 calories snack, 300 calories lunch, 100 calories snack, 500 calories dinner = 1,200 calories a day (and hard to stay within)
  • This is going to be cake :) I'm in!
  • My doctor okay'ed me to use it a few years ago, and I still go in each year for a physical... She checks a lot of stuff out on me & i'm still healthy. I did use it according to directions (dose levels & times), but after about a month I was still jittery like I had just started taking it... so i slowly cut back to only 1…
  • I have a desk job as well... i work 8-5 every day, and we can't leave the building during lunch... My chair has arms (not sure if yours does), so each hour on the hour I put my hands on the arms, with my fingers facing forward and lift my body 20 times (lift all the way up until your arms are straight, lower back down…
  • Forgot to post back! I did all 400, maybe a few extra because I lost count... 8 sets of 50 I work on the 5th floor of an office, so as I walked downstairs to heat up lunch, I did one set on the bottom/last step of each flight of stairs... Then on the way back up, i did 1 set on the top step of each of the 4 flights.
  • I've been on the creation end of this --- Kind of! I don't think bad things about people who are in the gym, walking around the block, whatever it is they are doing. I get peeved when there are slow meanders of any size taking up valuable sweat space, and are not considerate enough to move out of the faster person's track.…
  • I shop around the store, the outside walls... The way my local grocery store is set up, I enter through the doors and immediate head to the left. Right past the flowers is all the produce. I pick up any whole fruits and veggies I think will be good that week for meals and snacks. Then I scoot down the wall a little to look…
  • I started with cardio, because I was SEVERELY out of shape... I couldn't run a full mile. I also did simple PE exercises I remembered from high school (jumping jacks, sit ups, crunches with my legs lifted, push ups, etc). I started this about a month ago. After I worked up my heart and lungs to be able to run for 10…
  • I have a minichallenge from my Tone It Up group for today too --- 15 of any exercise on the hour, every hour... Since I'm working, I decided to do 15 chair dips to work on my triceps. I'll do this one, too!! I'll do them during bathroom breaks :)
  • I don't experience nausea from work outs, but i normally drink 20 oz of water and then do my work out... I've been finding it difficult to get up at 5:45 each day instead of 6:30 like I used to (new hours at work)... What do you do to get yourself out of bed at 4:45? What time do you typically go to sleep?
