August Abbercise!! GET OFF THAT SOFA!!

[A Work in Progress]

Bicycled to the university offices and back home today. Counts as a small workout. Fighting with the computer much of the day... does not count as any sort of workout. Oh well! Tomorrow I plan to do a nice long ride.

WIP, what do you spin on ??

[on my way]

Doggie, I order bulk meat products from an online site for Wellshire Farms. You can get hormone free etc. kinds of stuff. My 2 celiac kids love their ham etc, it GF....we buy 10# deli thing and slice it here. Worth a look. The shipping is $$$ although it's not as high as their site quote.

Deter, can't blame you for not pushing it - especially with Burning Man coming up!!! WE WANT STORIES!!

WIP - good for you on that biking. Hint for future: If you use a sledge hammer to fix your computer, that DOES count as exercise.

OMW I'll check out that web site and try to compare a bit between their prices with shipping and Whole Foods with gas. Thanks for sharing!!

I didn't sleep well last night - that hasn't happened much lately (THANK GOODNESS) and being tired sure affects the workout. I felt like I was working my ass off, but Sekwet Komputer knows the truth. In my tired state I didn't get as much accomplished. I can't IMAGINE what challenges Sekwet Komputer would come up with for daily hangovers. Now THAT would be for sure. Tomorrow will be an 80% day (thank goodness!) to end the week, then Sunday off. On Sunday I'm going to my first face to face meeting (SMART - not AA) ever. I'm nervous. I just have this vision that the first person I see will be someone I know.........

Anyway...TGIF and Happy Lifestyle Improvements to ALL!!

Hi all,

The month's trial period at my gym has ended and I signed up for a year's membership today. Commitment!! I've booked a session with a trainer on Monday who will work out a gym programme for me - I need someone to tell me to spend 10 mins on X and 10 mins on Y etc rather than flailing around by myself. Other than that I've rediscovered my love of swimming this month. I'd lost that somewhere along the way.

Happy exercising everyone!

That sounds awesome Marshy!! Both the rediscovered love of swimming, and the personal trainer to help devise a good workout plan. Here's to new and healthy lifestyles!!

I am peeking out from behind my couch as we speak! I know I need to be more accountable for my exercise so here I am...ready to take the plunge. In the 18 days I have been AF I have taken one long walk. Isn't that deplorable? I know it would help with my fatigue but I can't seem to decide on something I would like (so I would stick with it). Walking is a good place to start for someone, such a me, who is wildly out of shape. When I get off work in 3-4 hrs I'm going to go to a trail with some good shade and walk a couple of miles. Does that sound like an OK start for a couch potato? I hope everone has a great weekend!!! kriger

Well, I pulled off a 7 mi bike ride pulling an 80# autistic child on his bike rig. May try and run with hubby when he gets home....maybe

Happy trails

OK - DROP AND GIVE ME 20!!!!

(don't ask me 20 what because I don't know)

I missed working out on Saturday as we were at the vet's office before Curves was open, then had to deal with dog training day. BUT...I had a GREAT workout on Monday - Eville Sekwet Komputer said over 400 calories burned, then another 350 today for my 80% day.

One of the gals who works there - but in the afternoon so I rarely see her - came in to work out while I was there. She said..."they told me you were melting away!" WHEE!!!!! Vanity lives. I loved it!!

Let's get busy!!
