Gym Is Open (Tuesday)

I walked for 45 mins this morning, got in 2.5 miles.  Will walk to and from Weigh****chers today at lunch which give me about another 1.5 miles. What did you do to move your body today? Lori

Hey Lori,

Well I am still at it 11/2 hours this morning 55 min on the elliptical and 35 min of weights. I am feeling a little better about my weightloss but sure wish I would drop about 70 pounds overnight. Lorraine

 

Lorraine, The only thing about losing weight slowly is that your skin fairs better...I know, I know, it is small consolation!  I'm rooting for you and I!!!!  It certainly is not for lack of trying! Hugs, Lori

Hi, Lori.  I'm cranky and hormonal today, and didn't want to do a darn thing.  But I had one of my good friends here at work "order" me to go to the gym at lunch time, so I did.  I lifted weights for upper and lower body, then stretched for about 10 minutes.  I did feel better when I was done.  Although I'm still cranky and hormonal, I'm planning to go back to the gym after work for 35-40 minutes on the elliptical trainer for cardio.   I'm working hard to get myself back in the groove of doing cardio 5x per week and lifting weights 2x per week.  I got off track last month because of some personal issues, and it's hard to get myself back on track.   Anyway, thanks for keeping the gym open - I appreciate it. Kellie

Kellie, It is hard once you've broken your routine.  I'm struggling too...but, we got to keep at it! I tell people to "order" me to go the gym too!!! :) Lori

I did a 60 minute cardio dance dvd (Firm it Up).  I rested the muscles and did cardio only - no toning, no weights, no ab work.

Tracy, It is great that you are listening to your body.  I've had to back off on upper body strength training for a couple of months now to try and get my tennis elbow to heal.  I'm still in physical therapy.  Wow, it takes forever!!! Lori

Hi Lori, I had to stop in and tell you. That I have been riding a bike.  From a walker to a bike in a little over two yrs.  Isnt that just neat. It is so hard to beleive that two yrs ago I had back surgery , weighed 320 pds and was verly walking with a walker.  Thank everyone for all the help and support I get.  rode it twice today.  . thanks for all the help...

Congratulations Marie! You have come such a long way!!!  I'm thinking of buying a bike.  I've been self conscious about it, I really wanted to get under 200 lbs before I did it...but, since that seems so elusive...I'm thinking of doing it soon. I'm very proud of you and the progress you've made!!!! Lori
