Nice job!

My body was telling me today that it needed a break so I gave it one. I will work out tomorrow evening.

Breaks are much needed, I just came off a longer the planned break but pulled it off.

Yesterday I did the stairmaster levels 1-4 for an hour. I watched a good Netflix called "Growing Up Coy"- a documentary about a 6-year-old trans boy and his landmark case about using the school bathroom.

Today I walked for an hour and a half in the park. It was 60 and sunny. Lovely day.

Last two days had good rows but worked out too late last night and it kept my brain too awake. Going to try to work out here soon so I get it done earlier.

Also today was walking my 100 lb dog in full on spring fever. It got comical. I have very limited control over him when he wants something- due to size and muscle.

[easygoingfemme]

I had to go from basement to third floor about a bazillion times today at work and took the stairs every time- except for the one when I was handling a loaded hand truck. I play a game where I race the people in the elevator.

Today I walked outside for 30 min. for my lunch period. I had to pee within five minutes of having left the school so that was uncomfortable, lol.

After work I did the stairmaster 30 min, levels 1-5. I started watching a new doc on Amazon Prime video by a daughter whose dad went conservative. It analyzes how the media brainwashes people, something like that. It's not as good as I want it to be.

Oh, and someone left a wad of gum in the drink holder on the stairmaster. Eek!

Thanks- I'll check that out!

Yesterday my exercise was stair running and I flipped 22 bed mattresses. Today will be more stair running and another 22 mattresses. I feel like I should get a crossfit badge or something for this one.

[SmoothButch]

Two miles on my treadmill.

[easygoingfemme]

Along with my stair running and mattress flipping I also carried a microwave down four flights of stairs... Grateful it was down and not up.

What's the score been, inquiring minds want to know! (and have you broken anything in the process of this game)

I get there first probably 9 out of 10 times, and tie on the others. I have yet to be beat. I have not broken anything, thank you very much. Please keep in mind I'm in an old building with a not very fast elevator.

Helllooooooooooo, exercisers!

I have had a most delicious day thus far and it started out with a wicked good workout.

I set up on an elliptical, thinking I'd occasionally peek at the Law & Order episode I saw but when I actually mounted the machine, I saw that immediately in front of me was one of the Ice Age movies. The one with Jennifer Lopez....maybe the 3rd one? Anywho, score! It totally kept my attention and I went way farther than I initially intended so it was a win-win for me.

Life Fitness elliptical, random program, level 3
Stats: 482 cal, 3.72 mi, 55:00 min

I know that the elliptical was off in measurements of caloric burn but I honestly don't think it's by very much. It was a good workout!

I finished up with 10-12 minutes on the mat, stretching.

[Medusa]

I just hit 10k steps and hope to get 5k more before the night is over!

[easygoingfemme]

I keep wanting to remember to measure my steps on an average day...

I was up and down the stairs at work a little but not as much as last week.

I had a midday cancelled appointment and seized the moment to go take a walk and I think I did about 1.5 miles. In the sun. Along a river and through the really pretty village I work in.

Then after work I rowed 4 miles.

Happy camper.

I went on a one hour evening walk in nice weather in the park. I found myself taking pictures of squirrels along the way.

[nycfem]

1.5 hr walk in the park, spring has sprung!

[girl_dee]

i have been power walking daily at lunch and loving the hell out of it! i work in a very interesting town and getting to see it by foot is fun!
