Back to football today after 6 weeks out with a calf strain. Must remember to stretch properly beforehand AND at half time...
I was doing the treadmill and swimming in LA which should have helped.
I'm going out with a friend today! And we'll be walking around downtown. :) Yay! Exercise!
I jus did 20 min exercise from youtube videos, ad a quick run round the block:)
I walked for an hour, ate healthy-ish, and oh...the scale says I lost another 3lbs. :D :D The weight is just melting off! My grandmother offered to buy me a new pair of jeans too since she thinks the kinds I wear aren't very flattering (hipster straight legged jeans). :p Sure, why not!
That's great Tigerlily!
:p Never say no too new clothes!
Yes, I agree!
Today was pretty good; I was out all morning but I got to squeeze in 30 minutes of high intensity jump roping (in three 10-min segments). I also did mild stretches and some calisthenics, and I will do more before I go to sleep.
I don't weight myself ever but I'm wondering if my body is improving at all...it's hard to tell. I notice denser muscles in my arms and legs but I don't have the slight figure I want. I'm pretty sure I have decreased my body fat though (my periods have stopped again, not unusual for me). I suppose I will just try to maintain about the size I am for now through exercise and mostly healthy foods!
Wow!
Ya'll 've made some great progress!
Keep it up!
:)
started exercising again. i feel so much better just having those two days of work out in. hopefully this means i'm back on track for good.
wish it wasn't raining out..i'd really like to go for a run.
Euuuugh, I really hate exercising in this heat but I did an hour of off-road cycling toay + 1/2 hour walk, definitely feeling much fitter. The only trouble is I feel like I constantly want to be moving, no sitting down, my legs are constantly fidgety !
Ran for 2.5 km on treadmill today.
Ached alot today though:( backs playin up again.
(Brighteyed, is this normal? I know it happens if women are training hard for a marathon or something. It just sounded a little concerning to me.:confused:)
Well done everyone.:)
This British heatwave is making exercising harder for me as well. I just feel like lying in the garden eating ice cream. In the last week I exercised 3 times on the trampoline which isn't that good, I wanted to do 5 times a week. I did walk for about 3 hours yesterday though. I haven't stuck to my healthy eating all that well :o (or the not drinking alcohol):rolleyes: but I must have been eating less because I lost 2 pounds this week. I am going to try and do more exercise in the next week and eat more fruit and veg.
I keep buying stuff to exercies with... I am the proud owner of a gazelle, pull-up bar (hold on and lift legs for abdomen- no pull-ups for me :rolleyes:), a giant altus ball, a hula hoop, and several exercise dvds... now that I have a job that is way less active I should think about using them. :o
eta: I really want to get a mini trampoline, but the gazelle has been propped against the bedroom wall for years...
Where to find motivation??
20 minute ab workout and only 10 min running around my neighborhood today.
busy day today. family game night is tonight so i'll be cleaning the house all day.
good job everyone. keep going.
I've set about throwing out my exercise stuff since joining the gym. Finally got my car back today, going to the gym tomorrow.
I don't calorie count on the weekends (and yes, Friday is the weekend!) but I still got a good 35 minute walk around my neighbourhood. I walked up and down some small hills. I really felt in my legs. I wanted to walk a bit more since my music was so good but my legs were getting sore and I didn't want to overexert myself, you know.
Okay, I need to get serious about this!! I am utterly disguisting right now. :mad::(:amazed_ani: I'm not sure what my goal weight is, but I'm working on the same goals I posted earlier:
So I'm going back up to school this week so I"ll have a gym, yoga mat, and balance ball. I'll be going to florida the week after that, so the eating will probably all go to hell... it's a family trip and I tend to eat for like 9 people on vacation! I'll be moving back up to school after that and I WILL FOLLOW THROUGH WITH MY PLAN!!Quote:

Along with this, I'm sticking to mainly raw when I get back from Florida. I'll probably keep some nonraw food in my diet as I transition, but hopefully this will help me to tone up, too!
ran for about 20 mins yesdi:) felt it did me some good:)Nothing today I am too hungover:P
Well, I've always been either irregular or without in that respect, the one exception being a time when I had gained a large and unhealthy amount of fat (according to my doctor). It's the way I've always been, so it's what I consider normal for me. Not that I would complain otherwise; it certainly makes my life easier :rolleyes:
(Yeah I wouldn't mind if my periods went away either.:rolleyes::D)
I am annoyed as my twisted ankle has stopped me from doing any exercise these last few days and it was the only thing I was sticking to properly.:(
I went to the gym again today. *pleased with self* I did 40 +5 minutes on the "bike" and then the rotation of weights, doing two sets of each. I did not do the one where you have to lay on your stomach though. I don't care for that machine. Oh, and I increased around half of my weights to the next level too.
On Tues I did 22 min treadmill incline 2 and speed 9.5
Today I did 15 min run outside round park/block, then did a youtube exercise high impact aerobic video:)
Hey awesome job everyone! Aphro, I hope your ankle gets better soon!
I found this awesome video on runnersworld that I thought would be great for ab exercizes. HERE
An hour and a half's football this evening and no recurrence of my calf strain.
Yay.
Took a bit of a rest today and just did 10 minutes of very fast jumping rope, plus about 3/4 mile slow walk with my dad (who is quite out of shape...but his idea to exercise so i went along to give him motivation!). i was tired today but tomorrow i'll try for more cardio and some yoga.
I've lost more weight. I know I have. I haven't gotten on the scale or anything, but I can just feel it, especially around my tummy area. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
I managed to get out for 3 walks in the past week. They weren't really vigorous walks or anything, but my doctor suggested getting out for a walk to help with my depression. Admittedly, being out in the fresh air, in nature, (well as must fresh air and nature as you can get in the city) did help things a bit.
I know what you mean, Roxy. I live in concrete canyon, it does not help one's endorphins!
You always looked great anyways.:)
Today I did 20 min run round park.
I am really getting ok with runnning outside yay!
I know I have lost FAT but I dont think I have lost actual weight so I am not going to getg on the scales.
My happy ass went back to the gym again today and did about an hour :)
Idid anther run round park this morning:) enjoyed it too:)
The other day I went for a walk for almost 2 hours! Yay! Yesterday I just walked for 30 minutes but that's still good. :)
Good job everyone!
2 hrs, wow! Great job, Tigerlily!
Yesterday I hiked around exploring the woods for about 30 min and I did lots of shopping so I walked around for a while.
Today I did 10 min jumping rope, lots of calisthenics and a little bit of yard work (if that counts). Tomorrow I'm going to try to up my cardio so I can get past this plateau :(
Today I could only do 17 mins at gym because I drank my own bodyweight in cider this weekend, i suspect:D
I ate a lot of junk food yesterday too...and had pizza twice this week.Ugh. Guess I shall start again this week!
I went for a run roudn the park again yesterday morning.
Did me another hour today. I haven't been eating the way I usually do. I'm making sure to get three meals a day though.
Did a lot of baking today for my family so that took up a bit of time, but i did dance around my room rapidly for about 15 minutes :P i'll do some more later but not too much because i want to keep my muscles from growing TOO much.
Yesterday I ran for 10 minutes, jumped rope for 20 and did calisthenics for 15.
