Body in Progress

It's been a trying week for exercising! Somehow, Monday and Tuesday were totally out! Wednesday, I got my mojo back, determined to continue what I've started and did the deed!

Thursday was fine. Working out 30 mins after work, a combination of weights, jump rope and my Performance machine!

Friday, no dice. I got home late, took my son and daughter to get Chinese and to the Game Stop. Today I had planned on getting an hour in but hubby had to go to the dentist and that took up my time, along with errands! The terrible part of it is he has caught the flu and since I wasn't sure what kind of condition he would be to drive or even if the dentist would go along as scheduled to get work done, so I had to be there.

I'm sitting here typing and cooking dinner, Lasagna but just realised that before I can get it into the oven I have to run out again, my baking pots had to be thrown out so that means going back to the store to get either a throw-away or something solid and reusable! Never a dull moment!

I did get a new exercise ball though, courtesy of my friend! I will be using it at some point tonight or tomorrow! Probably tomorrow as I will have more time to myself! It's usually my non-exercise rest day, but my week was already turn upside down so...!

I am learning that I have to be flexible and I have to keep on being determined to do this!

Hey Donna! Guess what? Thursday I RAN AN EIGHT MINUTE MILE! And it wasn't on the treadmill either but on (and in the real world were it's a LOT tougher as you probably all too well know!   ) the track at the high school too! Yesterday was my "off day" so today, since it's COLD and raining out, I'll head the gym.

Er, sorry for dumping this on your blog but I just had to crow a little!

Whohoooo! I'm proud of you! Crow all you want I know that was a mighty feat! You're doing it and I'm so glad you are! I know running on terra cotta is not easy to do, man, you're an inspiration to me! You see why I can't give up? If you can do, dammit, so can I!!

since my pooch (Goober) decided my old one was his ball. It now has a slow leak somewhere so it is now definitely his ball!


! Your doggie and my kids!! I've had to warn them off since getting the new ball!


I bought a Reebok adjustable step today to use with my Firm DVD's


Nice! I hear the Firm is really good! I've got a Kickboxing one and that's a mighty work out!


I am determined to be within 10 pounds of my normal weight before I get back to the states.


More power to you! You can do it, you sound as determined as me!




Keep writing about your progress. You're my inspiration girl!


Thx!

Hey Forever!

Get out there and kick butt sista (of another mista)!

Just doing ANYTHING is doing something. On those crazy days where you feel like you are running around trying think of little things you can do. If you are in the kitchen reaching for a pan turn it into a workout! Add a few more squats (if need be assisted with the counter). Putting a gallon of milk in the fridge? Do a few curls as you put it in there. Have to climb the stairs? Climb them twice or more.

Just some thoughts.

I used to be in OUTSTANDING physical condition as a professional athlete. Now it's been two years since I've really been able to start exercising again. I don't EVER remember getting sore from a 10 minute run but it's where I have to start.

I know the feeling of fighting the battle of wills. Just remember you always feel better after working out.

PS Don't forget to stretch!

Oh, boy you might have started something! Like...what's your thoughts on HIIT and...I don't know a thing about resistance training and...well, that's a good place to start!
