I have not been exercising for the past two months. The new school year in a position I'm not grooving with has me too overwhelmed. However...

I went to the gym the past three days. Saturday: 30 minutes stairmaster (level 2/3), 30 minutes weightlifting and stretching, Sunday: 30 min. stairmaster, today: 1 hr on the stairmaster (level 2/3). I was kinda surprised I had the energy for an hour today when I had not slept well last night and had been eating a lot of white carbs during the day. Who knows, but today the first half hour I was not even working up a sweat. In any case, the energy level once I started today was a pleasant and unexpected surprise.

Well.. I didn't hit the gym today, but I found out that it has machines lined to work every muscle in your body..I dread being sore for a couple days but I can't wait to start weightlifting again..

I'm with you. I haven't seen the inside of a gym in quite a while, though I do get some manual labor through work and I've been moving a lot of furniture lately so that helps too. My diet has been dipping into 'uh oh' territory lately too. Damn holiday season and wavering self-control.

Luckily, the weight has been holding steadily and I'm not having difficulty with my sciatica, which is my primary concern whenever I slack off. I will get back into the sweat box soon. I just have to kick my own ass to do so.

Likely you were running on adrenaline. I get like that when I haven't slept well and do something physical. I seem to breeze right through it but I'll crash later, usually the next day, and especially if I short myself of sleep again.

Good for you!!!

I'm about to get back to it. I had months of difficulties from a surgery I had over the summer that kept preventing me from being able to use very much upper body strength. I got an all clear (again- let's hope it sticks this time) last week. Now it's time to tone back up.

I finally made my way to the gym this morning.

Since it's been almost a month, I decided to take it easy and just did cardio. I hopped onto an elliptical and then forgot about the whole 'taking it easy' thing.



LifeFitness elliptical, random program, level 3
Stats: 271 cal, 2.68 mi, 30:00 min

I followed that up with about 10 minutes of stretching.

Good workout!

I thought the gym would be post-Thanksgiving crowded but it wasn't. I went late afternoon so maybe that helped. In any case, I enjoyed not having the crowds. I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster Level 1-4. Then I did weight lifting and stretching. It felt good. It was hard to get started but it felt great once I was done!

It was slow and easy so I wouldn't stress anything, a good 30 minutes outside in the sun working out, it felt so good.

I went to the gym today. 30 min. stairmaster (levels 1-4), 30 minutes weightlifting, floor exercises, and yoga.

I think Jill has joined another gym. She must not have been able to deal with the years of construction going on. When someone leaves the gym, you never know where they have gone!

3.5 miles rowing.
I feel like a new woman. One who just left about 40 lbs of emotional baggage on the rowing machine.

Went to gym #2 and stuck with the elliptical, but did the total body program so it was pretty demanding.

Precor EFX576i
Stats: 255.2 cal, 2.22 mi, 30:00 min

I stretched in the dark classroom until a guy came in and flipped half the lights the room and then proceeded to lunge walk his way back and forth across the width of the room. It wasn't too bad of a distraction and I was mostly done anyway, so it wasn't too much of a bother.

All in all, it was a nice workout and stretch.

I just spent an hour raking the lawn. That was good. I'll also row later this evening to help settle my mind before bed.

played with canine children a lot outside after temps got above 35 degrees

sanded and painted a 4' by 8' plywood sheet

used blower to clear backyard of pine straw, pine cones, leaves - never ending regular task

cut four 32" 2 by 4s (setting up next weekend's project early to make it go faster) ... must make a saw stand for my Dewalt 12' miter saw

note:
All this is probably not classified as exercise but some of it gets pretty strenuous ... especially the sanding. I really do not enjoy the sanding part at all.

I went to the gym today. I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster (levels 1-4), then 30 minutes of weightlifting and stretching and ab exercises. The guy next to me on the stiarmaster was not wearing any deodorant and sweating up a storm so 17 of those 30 minutes were rough ones!

Since it was only Monday, I had the energy to go to the gym today after work. I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster (levels 1-4).

Are you ready for this? I've mentioned how my gym went bankrupt and has new owners and how they're doing all sorts of weird things and being constantly under construction. So the latest... they are doing away with membership cards and the people who look at them- and instead are replacing them with a machine that detects the patterns in our irises! They registered me today. I looked into a machine, and it imprinted the pattern of my irises (not flowers- referring to my eyes here!). So now I can stare at a little mirror window on the door, and it opens for me when it detects my iris pattern, as unique as a snowflake! This new system makes up for all the construction!

Wow. I have to say, that whole iris scan to get into the gym thing would freak me out a little. It's cool, but a little freaky for me. I'm glad you feel like it's an improvement though, it's your gym!

I did a 4.5 mile row and a lot of mental exercising.
