Gym Is Open (Friday)

Did 30 minutes walking the track at the gym this morning and 30 minutes of lower body strength training and abs. what did you do to move your body today? Lori

Hey there Lori, I woke up late didn't have much time do my full 60 min work out but I did do 50 min on the elliptical. I am starting to notice the difference in my legs.  Lorraine

Lorraine, Under all my skin on my legs I can feel muscles!  I never could do that in my life!  It is a great feeling.  I hope to have an abdominoplasty and breast reduction, and even though my arms and legs need it, I don't think I'll ever be able to afford it.  Also, most folks have a harder time healing up from those surgeries.  At least I know the muscles are there even if no one else can see them! :) Lori

I did 35 minutes on the elliptical trainer at lunch today.  Glad to have the daily workout done so I can head home after work for a little R&R time.  Have a super busy weekend coming up, so am hoping to chill and relax tonight.   Good luck to everyone finding the time and motivation to move it today!

I went out for a short walk today and ended up with an entourage.  The neighbor's dog came along, as did the two little boys (ages 5 and 6) that just moved in a couple of doors down from us. I didn't walk too far, just up and down a few houses' worth.  I rested in the driveway (the little guys insisted on carrying my little bench out into the sun).  The neighbor's dog hung out in the coolness of the garage and the little guys talked my ears off.  During the chat, one of them said, "I wish you were our mom."  I haven't seen a mom at their house, so I don't know if they have one. It sure is a beautiful day today!  I enjoyed getting out and soaking in as much Vitamin D as I could. Kix

Sounds to me like you have been adopted as their new mom.

Kix, What a wonderful compliment from those little boys! Lori

For Kix: awwwwww.  Kids can be so cute.  I wish I had some.  Gotta get a husband first.  Heck, gotta get a date first! Anyway, pilates class.  No sweat, but still a good workout.

Tracy, I was looking forward to a pilates class this morning, but, I guess the instructor has canceled it until further notice due to health issues.  I don't seem to have the gumption to do the pilates dvd I own on a regular basis.  So, good for you! Lori

Hi Lori. I was back at the pool for my 1hr water aerobics class.  My dh and I *discussed* going to the gym last night to use the treadmill and other machines, but the discussion is as far as we got. How is your elbow?
