The 2010 Get Fit Thread!

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.

Still at work but just heading down to do my 30 min workout on the treadmill. Got my water, got my MP3 player, got my towel..... just trying to get the inspiration. See ya later.

Where is everyone????

Are we staying on track? I worked out on Monday night and will do so again when I get home tonight. I purchased a Sandisk Sansa Clip (2 GB) and have loaded it with music. It keeps me pumped when I'm on the treadmill.

My weight is exactly the same as it was a month ago so not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Yup, just was looking for this thread to post. Did 25 minutes on the stationary bike today, which I was amused to find out a few years ago is referred to as "spinning" by healthclubs. I had seen all these ads for "spinning" classes, and said to someone "Well, I have balance issues already, so if I spin around I tend to fall over." I got a very strange look, and then the person realized I didn't know that a "spinning class" was just a bunch of people doing stationary bikes together. Heck, even I, uncoordinated as I am, don't need a "class" to use a stationery bike!

I'm still working on it. I went to the doctor yesterday (we got new insurance and I wanted to get my prescription transferred), and I asked them not to tell me my weight. I always ask this, because I find it depressing, really depressing. The nurse said that was fine, but then before I left they gave me a print-out of my visit with my height and weight in BIG font. Or maybe it just looked big to me. I felt like throwing in the towel yesterday, but I didn't!! I really need to get healthier. I've been eating lots of oatmeal and drinking plenty of hot tea to try and control my appetite.

I'm still on track! Today was a full 2 weeks of p90x and a week and a half of extra cardio at the gym. Haven't seen any numbers on the scale, but I'm lifting weights (or doing some form of strength training) every day so I didn't expect to. It's still kind of discouraging. BUT, my tighter shirts do fit a little better already. What I need to start working on is drinking enough water. That's my goal for the rest of the week.

I ended up having to clean the house today for some sort of walkthrough. I did move things around a bit to deep clean and got quite a work out!!!

Loving our new treadmill. I'm using it several times per day - my totals are closing in on 2 miles/day.

Threw out the junk food in the pantry. Sticking to fruit for snacks.

My workout last night included lower body - lots of squats (can hardly move today) and leg presses. Tonight is a night off and back at it tomorrow night (ab workout)

Food today included a wonderful veggie sub at lunch. It was awesome.
