January Exercise - HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

[Jess30 1]

Hey everybody,

I hit the gym this morning and did step, It alone kicked my butt but I hung in there for Zumba, and I did the whole class. So 2 hours or 120 minutes for that...Then I did the elliptical for 35 minutes... So 155 minutes today of exercising. My butt is kicked..I am sore all over and I am going to rest.. If I get up to it I may run on my elliptical at home tonight. Have a good night.

skinny bitch kitch...awesome! Also read over half of the skinny bitch book and my Cereal with milk this morning actually grossed me out. I kept thinking about the part in the book about milking the cows...ewwwwwww!

Yeah it is gross to think about.

Okay, I heart all of y'all...you KNOW I do!

But I gotta say that the book/meat horrors/whatever thing is starting to gross me out! LOL

Let's get back to being exercise freaks on this thread! We are all so good at it! <wink>

Jess: WOW Holy Cow! What a workout! I tried Eliptical today i have no clue how you do that! I did 5 mins and thought i was going to pass out on it.

Did do 5K today finally. I ran about 35 mins of it and walked about 6 or 7 but i made it to 5k for the first time. Rode bike for 30 mins.

Walking/running for an hour today for me.

Okay Stef I will stop on the festering rotting flesh talk. But the veggie burger I am eating is delightful. Day two of my Vegan diet is complete. It was not easy either, going to A&w with the familty and just sipping on iced tea, but I did it. I am pretty proud of myself.

I may be burning more calories than I think! If I use the calculator on my bike, it's only 300 calories per hour. My elliptical measures in kjoules but it took me much longer and more effort to burn an equivalent 300 calories than on the bike. The online calculators all say more like 500 to 600 calories per hour with vigorous effort, which what I'm definitely giving! Oh, well, better to burn more than I think!

I have a pretty good pedometer that also measures calories from aerobic activity but I need a new battery. I also used to have an HR monitor but somehow lost the chest band. :eek: I probably just need to go back to measuring minutes spent exercising.

You rock babygrl, it is sooo hard to go grocery shopping and not by meat, dairy, eggs, etc.....I know. I did it today. I'm not going vegetarian, but I think I'm cutting out dairy, for now...

And Stefanie, gotcha, no more nasty dairy talk. It is quite disgusting!

Oh yeah, and Jess, 155 minutes of cardio? CRAZY......But AWESOME!!!

[Jess30 1]

I had so much fun you guys! I just keep thinking about how much fun I had in Zumba... Step was hard...I thought I could have died... I have to go a little slower but I get the workout. (I am sitting in a chair with the massager turned on high with heat). I am so sore....I came home and cleaned my house...I don't know what my problem was today...Wish I could do that every day...Do I consider the whole class cardio? I mean the classes are an hour long but we still tone some too? hmmm I may be figuring that wrong?

Hey whosya! Thanks for the list of music! I will have to post mine sometime...You and your wife are adorable! Love the picture! I can't believe you didn't like the elliptical.....I love it I am addicted.

Okay Stef I will stop on the festering rotting flesh talk.

Haha. Too funny. I ate 2/3 of a cheeseburger today and thought 'you are what you eat' the whole time. Ugh. I'm buying Skinny Bitch in the Kitch tomorrow. I need it.

Also exercising tomorrow - come hell or highwater!

LOL Thanx, BG! You know I heart you! And that is so amazing that you went to an A & W and just sipped tea! I am proud of you, too! There is NO WAY I could have avoided ordering a root beer float! What brand is your veggie burger? I can't find one I like.

[TexasFire 84]

38 miles on my bike today. I didn't keep track of the time, it was so gorgeous outside. I guess I'll find out when I download my bike computer tomorrow. It was a GLORIOUS 79 degrees today! Unbelieveable! If it is even half as nice tomorrow, I'm gonna start early and shoot for 60 miles!

[TulipStar 2]

stefanie, 38 miles?!! Where do you bike? Everytime I think about it, I fear someone will just run me over. It was a beautiful day yesterday wasn't it?! Sunday is supposed to be even warmer!

BTW, do we pm you our weekly cardio/rt? If it's for 1/6/08, do I include 1/6 in the total minutes?

[babygrl1234 6]

Yeah so the Brand was Veggiburger but I threw the other 3 away since after I ate it and read the ingredients, it has fucking egg whites in it. WTF?!?!?! I should ahve read the label first but when you see veggiburger you don't think there is gonna be animal products in it. But it was good. Apparently I need to stick to Boca or Gardenburger. Needless to say I was not very happy with myself for not reading labels beforehand. Won't make that mistake twice.

As for the A&W, I did not even want to touch the soda. That is jsut waaaay to many wasted calories for me. It was much harder to not have the fries or onion rings while I was sitting there starving. But we went to Walmart afterward and I munched on some almonds. I guess if I am gonna eat something fattening, better it be healthy fat lol.
