The 2010 Get Fit Thread!

3cat - this is a process, not an event. As the saying goes, Easy Does It but Do It.

I want this to be something I can work into my life as a natural part of it...so I start slow, or I will overdo it and get really discouraged.

You are doing more than you did last week - think of it that way.

Another 3 mile ride down! Each time Im noticing its getting easier minus the natural difficulty of bike riding in a downpour lol. By the summer Im going to have a lot of stamina! Now if only I could get more sleep...

Thank you guys for your support. I really do appreciate it. I went on a two mile walk today, when the rain took a break. Will be getting up at 5:45am to go for another mile run...hopefully this time I will be sucessful. One of my problems yesterday is that I am 5ft tall and I started out running w/ two people that are 5'8, 5'9 and that pace was too fast for me. Next week when we have our group training again I will make sure I start at my own pace and not trying to keep up w/ people that have alot longer legs than me

3cat - good stuff!

I actually did all my exercises for a second day in a row! I did omit a couple of the upper ab crunches as they strain my neck. When my neck is better, then I will put them back in.

I love Thera-bands!

The next two days are my walking days. Since I have to walk to the store constanrly now Ive been getting some really good workouts espcially since its been WINDY!

Good job so far everyone!

I will not be using the bike today, instead I have been basically shoveling the equivalent of wet cement. We had rain, then snow, then ice, so each shovel full is very, very heavy. It probably took 45 minutes just top break up the stuff at the end of the driveway, and I am about to go out and finish the job - just the front stairs, and breaking through to the street from the sidewalk, and clearing the other side of my car are left. But it is exhausting! I'd rather shovel a foot of fluffy stuff than 2 inches of this stuff!

Shoveling snow is hard work when it's the really wet, heavy kind!

I've been doing well today, I've been tracking calories and I'm hoping to get some exercise in.
