Yep, it was a shit ton of snow and I shoveled it. I shoveled the shit out of the shit ton of snow.
Say that fast five times. :blink: |
I have a bunch of over time at work so I'm going in late so I can take a spin class this morning :):fastcycling:
|
More shoveling and ice scraping, but I think that's it until the next storm on Wednesday.

5, 6, 5
5mi walk, 6mi run this week and this am 5mi walk with a new friend...and dancing for a couple of hours during this day. Grateful for everything in my life. keep on keepin' on, Greco |
I have not exercised for about a month. It really took a lot out of me being sick. I tried going without an antibiotic only to finally go to my ENT who told me I had a raging sinus infection. A few days on the antibiotic and it was so much better under control. Along with that, work has been stressful.
Today at the gym felt great. I did one hour on the treadmill, about 3 mph, and then half an hour of weight lifting and stretching. It was a quiet weekend and I caught up on sleep. Oh, and I'm watching "Wild, wild Country" a doc show on a cult- on Netflix. |
I carried groceries upstairs lol

OMG, J! That sucks. I'm so glad that your doc figured out what it was and you are on the mend now.
I'm also glad you posted because I'm too lazy to look for the thread. :blink: I worked out this morning and had my own personal adventure. I woke late and got to the gym around 8:45. They have one girl who is a normal, average girl in size and weight. She's much friendlier than the others There were these two ladies who I've seen before. One's there to work out and does her thing and the other is there for conversation and girl time. She's typical NE woman. Late 80s/early 90s hair, sun fried skin, too much jewelry for the gym, wrong clothes for the gym (in this case, she wears bras with a light cami over it) and she doesn't understand personal space or what 'inside voice' means. I wound up next to the yappy one, trying to practice my ability to tune her out. I knew they'd leave before I finished but they didn't do that until I was nearly finished so it was what it was. I did pretty good though. Stats: 281 cal, 1.94 mi, 30:00 min Honestly, I don't feel that I burned more than 200 calories so that elliptical was obviously in need of a calibration. It was okay though. I needed it. My neck and back and all my vertebrae have been getting squinchy lately and my body workload is out of whack due to the snow and shoveling. Even though I try and remember to switch up what side I shovel to/with, I tend to always revert back to my dominant side. |
None yet today but yesterday was all about swing dancing! So fun and a great way to work out.
Tonight will be spin class. |
Hello all! Is there anyone here that has had any experience with those “balance board” things that your supposed to twist on? I saw them on Shark Tank and they are selling them in my local Walmart for $45. But I also saw knock offs at Ollie’s for $20. I read reviews online and they say it really works once you practice a bit and get the hang of balancing. This is the thing: I’m big and fat and I’m wondering if I will fall off and hurt myself???!!! We don’t have carpet in our house so if I hit the hard, laminate floor it’s gonna hurt like hell. The reviews say if you don’t have carpet the board will slide all over so they say to put a piece of carpet under it. I don’t want to waste my money but yet I thought it would be an easy exercise I can do. Our house is small so I don’t have room for a treadmill or exercise bike.

1 hour on the treadmill- 3 miles-7000+ steps-300+ calories

I've seen those too and wanted to try it but can't afford to ruin the carpet with pilling or a worn spot or scar the tiling. If you get it, let us know how it went! |
Loaded and unloaded a ceiling fan and some fantastic wood I scavenged.
The ceiling fan is just for a few specific parts. I will throw away the rest. It is truely so ugly and would not have it even if boxed and brand new. LOL! It is the four high wattage ceramic sockets and wires I am interested in - fun creators for sure!! :) The wood is a pallet that has unusual mighty fine pieces. I will disassemble it soon. It is so pristeen, no sanding will be necessary. Yay! I have grown to hate sanding! |
My sister says she found an exercise bike online that folds up. It’s a Marcy Upright and it actually looks like a really old school one I had years ago. I’m thinking it might fit in a corner of the spare room.....
|
I ran my ass off all day at work and enough people annoyed me that I came home and rowed a 5k to burn it off. That will be all.
|
I shoveled snow this morning.

Got the gym yesterday!
Elliptical: 294 cal, 2.34 cal, 30 min I followed that up with a good stretch and then I went down the plaza to the Marshall's as they had a promotional event. I wound up winning a gift card, so that was time well spent! Today, no gym but I'll be doing house chores and work all day so I'll be getting in plenty of intentional movement. |
walked up and down the stairs for 20 minutes then outside to help with the yard work (its 80 degrees here)
|
Like Mrs. Butterworth, I took my own sweet time leaving home today for the gym. I ended up there around 5pm. I did 45 minutes on the treadmill at 3 mph and then 15 minutes of ab exercises on the floor and stretching. I watched "Wild, wild Country" - a great documentary netflix series about a cult. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a cult at the gym. The stretching feels so good that I feel almost hypnotized or mesmerized or something other worldly.
