Any One Up For an Exercise Challenge?

[athykay 9]

I have to get on this thread and many others. I need to stay focused. Got me a new fill and ready for the challenges. I walked 3 times last week about a mile each time. This week we are doing 4 nights. 30 minute dance in the morning before I go to work. Hope no one is looking. Neighbors probably think I am having parties early in the morning.

Good luck Ginny I'm looking forward to seeing you in Galveston in 2 weeks!!! You should be buff by then right?

We're all moving, so this thread is working. I did way too much over the weekend and woke up in the middle of the night unable to move. I have a new pulled muscle, and it's so bad that I can't even tell what hurts. I can't decide if it's in the front or in the back of my hip - or maybe it's even my back. I wasn't sure if I'd make it to work because I was gimped over, so I figured I'd walk it out. It was horrible getting dressed, but halfway through my walk I started loosening up. I'm no longer exercising to burn fat, I just need to walk upright like modern man! My whole body is killing me, and my feet are literally throbbing... that's a good thing, right?

DeLarla-I hope you get all of your "kinks" worked out! Are you stretching after you exercise? That has really helped me. Take a hot shower if all else fails.

Lauri, I didn't hurt myself exercising, I did it either riding my motorcycle too hard and too long or shoving a broken shopping cart around. I feel much better after walking this morning. But the stiffness will set in later after sitting all day. I did so much over the weekend that I can't even count the things I did. Laundry, mopping, housework, sewing, went to movies, rented movies, shopping, motorcycle riding both days, 3 bars, 2 casinos, 3 gas stations, visited 3 homes, had company (5 sets), sheesh, went trick-or-treating twice, and a partridge in a pear tree. I'm beat and need a jacuzzi. But I feel great at the same time.

Jacuuuuuzzzi sounds gooooood!!!! You were one busy girl this week-end DeLarla. I wish I had gotten half as much accomplished! I am inspired. Maybe I should get off of this computer and get busy.. I think I am addicted... oh yeah-that's a whole other thread.

OK got up this morning and went for a 2 mile walk with 2lb weights on my wrists. WHOO HOO!! Worked up quite a sweat. Burning those pounds off.

Well, after dancing on Saturday, my only exercise was stacking firewood and cleaning house. That will do for the weekend. Now to get going with some REAL exercise. I bagged up the candy and am calling my son to come take it away. I suppose I should give him some good food, too!

[DeLarla 22]

But Laurie, I didn't get anything accomplished at all! I had lots of projects that needed work... so many that I made a to-do list. The only thing I accomplished was having fun and spending money. Bad girl!

Drove through pouring rain in Houston traffic to get an unfill. Maybe I'll quit hurting now and can get back on that bike! (Hope, Hope!)

I noticed that a university nearby has a belly dancing class!!! I think I'm going to join. It's always looked fun. Can you just imagine?

[lapbander081004 7]

Go for it. LOL Belly dancing is some workout...

[Iluvharleys 15]

Belly dancing sounds like fun, let us know how it goes!

[Rebeccalee 2]

I am starting belly dancing with a HOG (Harley owners group) group of women next Sunday. There are just a half dozen who get together, dress up, and learn to dance. One of them is quite a dancer, the rest do it for fun. I couldn't bring myself to join until I lost some of my belly. There will be one other woman there who is my size and everyone else is my age. Couldn't ask for a better way to do it!
