Hello there!

Far too long since
I logged in and updated. But today, having had a really iffy couple of months or so - I felt as though I'd achieved something.

One of my goals was to be fit to walk 2walks at the local walking festival in early May.
Even just this morning I was thinking worried thoughts about it.
This afternoon I went for a walk with my local walking buddy, and we not only clocked up just over 4.5 miles, but it was most of the route of one of the May walks! And all that's aching is my ankles! So magnet pads, here I come.
We did the 4.58 mile walk in 2 hrs 3 minutes. So our target is to cope with that walk, do the slightly longer walk for that route, and maybe walk a bit faster.
I reckon we kept a steady speed today, uphill and down - so that is something we can work on.

Saturday

Today I managed cardio only - and sort of my usual indoors stuff.
But - Tipy prepare yourself - it was not just walking.

8 minutes walking @ 24 min/mile
7 minutes jogging @ 12 min/mile
20 minutes heavy duty cleaning
15 minutes moving and carrying.

That 7 minutes was a killer - thank goodness I was at home and just trotting up and down the hall!

Hi Christine,
thanks for the welcome. I hope your program starts going easy. I am tiered on the on-off-on.
I but the "skinny me" picture on the refrigerator and thought about it last night, in the middle of the night, this morning, and as I made lunch. I think it might help.

I will weigh-in on Sunday and can already tell some of this Super Bowl chips are gone.

Today for my workout, it is Heavy Cleaning for 15", Tread-Climber for 15", plus all my water.

Hello there!

Sunday, 10.00pm

Today I managed a mere 30 minutes of walking at 30 min/mile.

However, given that my body was suffering from something, I'll just tell myself that I really am happy to have managed that much.
Something has annoyed my body and system - not upset me, like flu or an upset stomach. That was the last couple of weeks.
I've had what I used to think of as adult colic. That's probably the same is IBS nowadays. But my dry skin has been really dry and my psoriasis has been well itchy today too. I can't even begin to think where the problem has arisen - except the amount of cabbage etc over the past couple of weeks. Though I thought my body was beginning to cope with that sort of the thing quite well, now.

Hey ho!
Tomorrow, back to the grind, hopefully.

Hello there

Saturday, 9.15pm

I am still finding this working with just the iPad quite frustrating, in some ways. One is that it still takes me longer to sort out what I'm doing.
A bonus - I am trying to clear my in-mail daily, so the computer clutter should be reduced. The down-side is: I rarlely manage it - - and i just lost the last several minutes of typing.

Thursday -
ST - 20 minutes
4 x 12 squats, 2 x 12 torso twists, 2 x 12 oblique stretches
Cardio - 110
70 - walking outdoors with local friend, @ 20
20 - walking @ 30
20 - cleaning

Friday
ST - 10
4 x 12 squats
Cardio - 40
40 - walking outdoors with DH, @ 26

Saturday
ST - nil
Cardio - 35
20 - walking @ 30

I'm going to have to repeat Week 4 of the January BootCamp. I don't feelt hat I've done enough over the week to be able to say I've done it fully or to the best of my ability.
I'm kinda tee'd off about it, but I'm not going to start cheating on myself.
So, next week, where I'd been looking to have an eased-off week - I have to have another full-on week instead.

Lay--ta!

Well hello stranger!

Thursday, 12:00 AM MIDNIGHT! UH OH!:))

I am running low on GB's thos month so I've been trying to keep it tight and not spend hrs here. I miss it and eat rather than using the extra time to workout like I should!:(( But everyone needs a break every now and then. I WAS doing quite nicely till this Monday! I started falling apart. But that's ok. I'm fine with it. My workouts are staying pretty consistent SO, that's what I'm going on today. I tae like a piggly wiggly pig pig!!! HAHAHAHA!:)) French fries ketchup, mayo, mustard and LOTS OF CANDY!!!! I feel a bit sick in the tummy from the candy corn my DH hid away at my request when it went on sale after the fact. I ate halt the tub!!! UGH! Any way here's what I did today:

Hello there!

Wednesday, 10.30pm

Tipy, you're doing great, keeping going - totally leaving me behind, as per!
Cryztal, you're coming on in leaps and bounds! I'm impressed at how much more you're managing now than when you first joined in here.

Sorry, guys, I've been lurking rather than posting recently. But I have been doing my workouts and stuff.
I was ill again last week - flu (both general and stomach) and ongoing sinusitis.
However, I was able to keep with the daily ST, and took my cardio mainly as heavy cleaning. I got a good load of that done last week as DH was away all week!

So I am now half way through my Week 4 of the January BootCamp, having repeated Week 2. I was sweating it a couple of times last week whether I'd be able to tick off Week 3, what with being not well again. But I'm well pleased that I did manage.
I'm pretty well keeping to it this week, so far, though I didn't get my Core W'out done today. I'll have to double up tomorrow.

I must try to get back to reporting here daily - it keeps me focussed!

Hi,

Monday, 7:46PM

Thanks! I know how that feels. I went on the cabbage soup diet to get rid of feeling like my insides need a bath! LOL!:)) I started it yesterday and still waiting for it to kick in! I gained 1.4 pounds since yesterday! Hoping it only temporary. Pretty sure it is!

Hello!
I am glad you are still posting your workouts!
I am trying to track what I eat again. I stopped for a bit but I realized I gained 2 pounds in the last few weeks. I have a goal to track what I eat everyday now.

My days are upside down! AGAIN! I just go it. The more I think about it the less I sleep! And besides I don't HAVE to get up so why try, right? Things will turn around when they need to. I'm happy with my day and that's what matters!

Christine,
Your doing really good! I'm sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. Respitory things are yucky. They can be so painful too. You're a real trooper. What's up with your tracker it's all wonky again! LOL;))

Hello there

Monday, 8.50pm

I posted here either Friday or Saturday (can't remember which) - another one that's disappeared into the ether

I remember that I posted cos I was reminding Cryztal of SparkGuy's starting point, and continued work, of 10 minutes exercise each day.
Cryztal - it can be broken down to segments of less than 10 minutes. The main thing is to get your body moving. Personally, I reckon that 5 lots of 2 minutes, or 4 lots of 3 minutes would be an ideal starting point for someone who hasn't been doing too much exercise and is now trying to get into the way of it.
Smaller "doses" can be fitted into your day more easily, and shouldn't leave you either too tired or too sore, and should certainly not lead to any burn-out (when you try to do too much too soon).
My body took a number of years to get as out of shape aas it is now. I canNOT expect to sort it out in just a few weeks or months.

Tipy - I am well impressed with your Friday work out
And thanks for the comment to Cryztal in your previous post - timing of reading it (tonight) is amazing, as I'm trying really hard to get my a** back in line and getting on with stuff


I decided, eventually, that I was going to repeat Week 2 of the January 5% challenge.
Last week just so did not happen for me. I had a mild dose of bronchitis, and the arthritis was playing up for whatever reason.
I'm still feeling the aftert-effects, a bit, but it's not holding me down as much, any more.

My exercise report, since last time:

Friday 13/1 -
Cardio total 40:
30 walking @ 30 m/mile
10 "painting" - peeling a huge load of veg! I could feel my shoulders afterwards, and did some stretching to ease them

Saturday 14/1 -
Cardio total 45:
30 walking @ 24 m/mile (outdoors with DH)
15 "painting" - even more peeling and paring - it's amazing how much effort it can take to cut through a good red cabbage........

Sunday 15/1 -
ST total 15: 3 sets of 2 x 12 squats
Cardio total 70:
60 of heavy cleaning
10 walking @ 30

Monday 16/1 -
ST total 30: 6 sets of 2 x 12 squats
Cardio total 80:
50 heavy cleaning
10 walking @ 30
10 walking @ 24
10 moving, carrying stuff

current weight: 257.0

262 256.5 251 245.5

Hi,

Saturday, 1:08AM! OOPS! I'm late again! But I'm reporting to myself again! That's OK. I know everyone is trying to keep it together.

Well here I am with one day left to week #2 of the January Challenge! I can't believe it! I have to say I'm rather impressed with myself!! I haven't lost much if any weight but I am fine with that for right now cuz my cals./day are still at about 1800/day which is really 250 over where they're supposed to be! I feel better and look better. The strength exercises are doing something. I have added some of my own. The Advanced Dumbbell challenge is AWESOME! I don't do the the whole thing just the 1st 4. I do enough of the others when I do my other strenth stuff. Not to mention hanging on for deal life on my treadmill!!! LOL;)) I know you're not supposed to but it DOES work your upper arms quite nicely! I like it! Better than falling off the D*#@* thing! ROFLMAO!


So here's my workout for Friday:
- 9-Minute Arm Sculpting Workout
- 10-Minute Crunchless Core Workout
- SP: 20-min. Dumbbell Workout
- Treadmill intervals 40 min.
