Did 31 min on the wave this morning...leg's are still a-shakin'.

Did an additional 35 min of walking last evening - before the snow started falling....AGAIN!

What's the wave, Tap?

I went to the gym last night and walked for the duration of the hour-long American Idol results show. It was longer than I would have walked had I not been watching a show that I really wanted to finish. Anyway, I did 3.25 miles walking and then for the last five minutes I did a mile on the stationary bike. My back was hurting too much to keep walking any longer.

Did my upper body routine and then 30m on the treadmill (walking/jogging combination). Can't say my heart and soul were in it, but I did it anyway. Wish I could say that I was glad I had done it after, but nope, just glad it was over.

Why oh why, or when, will I ever LIKE to exercise?!? It's been what, 10 months since I began my exercise regime, and it is still something I must do, not something I WANT to do.

I've tried doing different things: cycling, swimming, treadmill, walking, the wave, the elliptical, aquafitness, etc....they are all ok once in a while, but nothing that I WANT to to every day...

Whine whine whine.....

I can hear you all now - suck it up and just do it. So, ok. I will.

It looks a lot like an elliptical.

I did my 20 min T-tapp workout yesterday. I was planning on doing my full 50 minute one, but just before I was going to start the phone rang and the realtor gave me 24 hours notice that she's showing the house. So, instead of spending the time working out, I spent it doing vigorous housecleaning. My grouchy (yesterday anyway) toddler was sleeping and that time is precious as far as getting things done. Not sure yet what today will hold, probably walking on the treadmill at the gym this afternoon.

Well, an elliptical moves your legs forward (and depending on the model, on an incline). The wave moves your legs sideways and always on an incline. So instead of the thighs and calves, you work more of the hips as well as the thighs/calves. Then depending on where you put your arms, you get more of a core/abdominal or a butt workout.

Either way, both are good; I think they complement each other, so I do one on one day, another day the other.

Ahh, I see. You don't get that from the picture very well.

I didn't exercise today and probably won't tomorrow, but I did finish Breaking Dawn and get it back to the library as it was due today and has a waiting list.

I am doing "exercise on demand" a channel we have here in Maine on our Time Warner Cable dvr box. I did 30 minutes of cario with Jillian Micheals (Biggest Loser trainer) and took my dog outside for a 30 min walk!

I love coming here and seeing what everyone is doing. I've been stuck inside all weekend at work (one of my coworkers who had gastric bypass had a major complication requiring a second surgery) and so I ended up covering her 24hr shift and mine, back to back. But...happy to say...I'll be leaving at 4pm and heading to the pool. Have to get in another swim workout today.

Was that not the LONGEST 4-6 hour downtime ever??? I haven't been able to sign in since Sunday....

Anyway, to catch up:

Saturday - only the exercise of house cleaning!

Sunday - nope.

Monday - upper body workout plus 30 min elliptical and 30 min brisk walk

Today - swimming - all front crawl, no break, left the pool winded. I suppose that's good?!?!

Did I exercise today? Not yet, and I didn't yesterday either. I'm making up for it though. I'm going to do what I was supposed to do yesterday tonight along with all the other things I'm supposed to do today.

Yay me!

At the Y this morning - did my upper body workout, and then did 30 min cycling. I will HAVE to add in some additional stuff tonight to try to negate yesterdays caloric blowout...see Accountability thread for details...)

I did however add to yesterdays exercise - I had a brisk 30 min walk at lunch.< /p>

P.S. Where is everyone? Rhap? TravelAnna? Blklab? come out come out.....

I've made it to curves Mon-Fri for the past week and a half. I need to keep the momentum going. For some reason I hit a wall with any new habit I'm trying to develop at 2 weeks.

I am also trying to walk during my lunch hour

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
