30 mins elliptical

15 mins recumbent bike w/small hand weight exercises as I pedalled

...now off to snorkel...does that count as exercise?

It totally counts.

I prefer early morning workouts. Basically, when I can, I roll out of bed and tidy up, get ready, eat my banana (and peanut butter if I'm weight training) and I go. That way, I have the rest of the day.

Usually, if I wait until later, I either obsess about it or talk myself out of it....too hot/tired/long of a drive/etc.

Welcome to the morning gloriers!

1) Gemme - I french the weights. There was something else I said to you, but I don't remember

2) Since I have been doing the "you don't have to do cardio on weight days", I have been doing cardio on weight days

3) Kelt-awesome with the swimming! Thank you for the thought of plantar fasciitis. I see how you think that may be it, but it is not (had that over the winter). This has been an issue for me since I was about 23 years old and have avoided treadmills and speed walking on hard surfaces.

4) I love that everyone checks in most days. :-)

ETA: Oh, and I have been doing what I am supposed to be doing exercise wise! Staying on schedule!

You talk a lot sometimes. I don't remember what you said either.



I think it's reverse psychology. If you don't 'have' to do something, you're more likely to willingly do it.

In other news, I took an off day since I mopped the Hell out of my climate controlled building this morning and ate a good lunch. No cheating!

Tomorrow morning, it'll be up 'n at 'em. I'm going to go back to my old shoes for the workout and try the treadmill to see if my legs are better or still effed up. If they are better, then I have to determine if it's because of a day off or the shoes.

Either way, it's likely that the new pair will be going back to exchange for the only other pair they had in stock that fit my super wide ducky over-pronating feet.

With my recent luck, that will generate a whole new slew of problems.
