Gym Is Open (Tuesday)

When I went to the gym last night it was packed with guys who were totally taking over the weights, so I did 45 minutes on the treadmill and went home...didn't feel like standing in line with those guys. Tonight, however, I hope to get in both the strength training and the cardio. What did you do to move your body today? Lori

HEY Lori, Well it off to the gym tonight I am going to do 60 min on the eliptical i think I might break it up to 30 min twice and do some strength training in between so I will be in the gym for about 1 1/2 today. Have a good workout everyone. Lorraine

Good for you Lorraine. Splitting up your routine like that is what my trainer recommends. I usually spend about 90 minutes too. Lori

My knees are really sore today from walking yesterday, and it's snowing, so no short walk for me today. I did do some stretches while watching "Sit and Be Fit." I feel a PMS festival coming on... or maybe it's just the cold, gray weather outside. Kix

Kix, Sorry your knees are hurting, that is my nemesis too. But, there are sure better than they used to be...there's hope! I can't have PMS since I have no uterus or ovaries, but, I sure know what it is like to feel blue. I feel very blue right now. I'm dealing with an idiot brother-in-law who is making my life very difficult right now. I thought I'd be nice and treat my sister to a trip to Sweden with me in December for a family reunion. He freaked out, first tried to stop her from going, threatened to divorce her and now his big compromise is that I must take my 16 year old nephew with us to chaperone her....what a creep! What does he think we are going to do??? Anyway, I've spent my whole day (when I should have been working) trying to change my sister's plane ticket and get my nephew on with her so he wouldn't have to travel alone. Since it is international travel, it is complicated, so it ain't done yet...oh well, there is always tomorrow. Thanks for letting me vent. I'm so exhausted and angry. And I'm certainly glad I don't have a jerk man in my life! Lori

i didn't get to check in yesterday but... am increasing my ellyptical by a minute a day. so yesterday was six minutes. today was seven minutes. gotta do it now. found out yesterday i need a second surgery on my right ankle. found out today i will probably need surgery on my ear for the meniers disease. so while i have a pain free ankle - due to the cortisone/novacain shot, and still have my balance, i'm gonna continue to 'raise the bar'. we'll see how far i can get. have a great rest of the week. dorthe

Good luck with your surgeries...that is a whole lot to look forward to. Hopefully, it will all be worth it. Lori

I went to the gym last night and did 35 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Movin', movin', movin'... Kellie

Sounds great Kellie!
