back to the grind:

What? Me gloat? Never. Not until we are done and in the playoffs. I'll just say it was a very satisfying win.:mad2:

Now, weekend was a complete bust. Holiday party Friday night and 5 beverages. UFC night at friends house Saturday night and 4 beverages. Just not good.

Monday-upper body circuit training with 11 reps. Followed that with 80 minutes of cardio.

This morning-60 minutes of cardio.

Yesterday, didn't get above 0 here. Today, not much better. Let me just say, I HATE DRIVERS IN THE WINTER. Took me 1 1/2 hrs to get to work today when it only takes me 35 minutes normally.:blushing:

I was over the win by yesterday morning. Just like I was over the Steelers loss by the next morning. Only problem with the Steelers loss was that I made a bet with Steelers fan at church to have to wear the winners hat Sunday morning at church. SUCKED.:blushing:

2 more games and we'll see where we sit then.

You know what sucks? Going on a business trip, taking your workout clothes but forgetting your runners...my only shoes were black slingbacks....hardly appropriate.

Back to the Y today. 30 minutes working on back muscles; 20 min the wave.

dh packs his all the time; but 9/10 they never get used - even w/his runners!:smile2:

today is my day off fr working out, however DH is home and we have movers coming shortly to move us from downstairs - upstairs, as that part of the remodel is done....and then they can gut where we have been living for the last yr....AFTER the NYR.

i'm sure i'll be doing some lifting or giving LOTS of direction.

Fighting a cold for the past few days. First day back and ran 3.5 on the eliptical. Hernia repair tomorrow so I will be off untill after Christmas as the least. :shades_smile::sad_smile::confused:

Go January Fitness challenge.

Yesterday: Fatality on the HWY, better known as blood alley, which caused me to get home to late to work out.

Today: 33 minutes treadmill @ 4% incline 1.25 miles. I am feeling tired. Where is my energy????

[Jachut 487]

Ah. bliss. Nice long slow 10km run on fresh legs after a rest day yesterday. Boy it was nice. Weather perfect, not too hot. Only problem encountered, workmen doing new lane along Narre Warren Cranbourne Rd. Oh well, let em look. I couldnt hear their hooting with their ipod going. Although I bet it looked funny, I bounded DOWN the hill looking like a Kenyan Marathoner, I staggered UP the hill an hour later red faced, sweating and a good deal slower!

I chose the right music this time. Last time I planned a slower longer run, Doug had put some ACDC on my ipod. I nearly killed myself keeping up with the beat of it - the endorphins kicked in early and I was like greased lightning. Trouble is I puked when i got home :ohmy: 10K in about 45 minutes will do that to you! Especially when your normal time is about an hour!

[tapshoes 2]

10K runs...nope, just cannot imagine ever doing one. Kudo's to those of you who can and do.

Y this morning for 30 minutes of leg work then 30 min of elliptical.

[Ceradad 10]

Tues P.M.-worked 3 hrs extra, so got to gym late. Still managed to do 40 minutes of leg workout. Followed it up with 20 minutes more of cardio on elliptical.

Yesterday was 85 minutes on elliptical. Very tired after doing legs so late on Tuesday night. Don't think I had enough recoup time.

Today A.M.-50 minutes of upper body workout. No cardio as I have a class tonight.:ohmy:

I see that it is probably too late to join this December challenge, as I see it, this thread is for more a daily accountability tool right? Any one set a January 09 exercise challenge yet? What are the rules if any? Do you just set your own goal for this thread? and report daily? Just curious I am new to LBT but have been lurking for a while. I still want to lose 70 pounds. Thanks for any info.

It is never to late to post your exercise on the monthly challenge thread. Usually Lulu or Ceradad starts the new monthly thread the first day of the month.

There are no rules. When you have time, when you remember post the exercise that you did for the day. You set you own goals. We challenge each other.

Good luck!

Okay now I know why I am so drained. I have forgotten to take my thryoid medicine for the last 7days. I called the refill into the Pharmacy and total forgot to pick it up. How crazy is that? :huh2:

No one wonder my stamnia is defunct. So I will get my RX start taking my pills and get my energy back.
