The 2010 Get Fit Thread!

Well, I haven't been doing so well on the exercise front. I haven't been sleeping well lately so I'm too tired to work out when Lyra is asleep. I need to get back on track with that.

But, I have been doing very well counting calories. Last night we had to go out to eat (for some birthday dinner thing) and I ate half of my meal, and saved the rest. It's getting easier to eat less because I'm getting used to it.

I did HORRIBLE this past week! No walks at all. Partly because the weather has been so bad, raining (pouring) everyday. But that's no excuse! I can feel it in my back since I haven't been walking. So next week I will be walking again, even if it is just up and down the hallway at work! Walking inside I can add stairs to the difficulty. I'll probably need to walk indoors sometimes during the summer too since it gets so darn hot here.

Did 25 minutes on the stationary bike yesterday while watching the Figure Skating finals and ended up with 6.7 miles - .2 longer than I got while watching something else. So maybe I'll look for more upbeat things for the exercise time!

That's what I try to do with the treadmill. I plan my walks around the evening news, or a basketball game - or read my latest magazine. Time and distance just glide by

I hurt my ankle the other day so I took Thurs, Fri, Sat off of p90x (and it's hard to get motivated when I sleep all day and work all night) but spent an hour at the gym on Friday. Now I'm having a hard time getting off my butt to do today's workout. It's so much easier to find excused to not do it. That's why I hate taking days off! Also made cupcakes and a cake yesterday so that didn't help either.

Here's to a new week full of motivation and healthy eating!

Just did 7.2 miles - 27 minutes on the stationary bike. Having this thread helps keep me motivated, as I feel like I need to do something and report in. Others - how's it going?

I did 2 miles yesterday on the treadmill - a mile in the morning, another after dinner. Then 1.5 today - in divided doses

It's so easy now - since we bought the treadmill. And Douglas is using it quite often, also. He has a stationary bike - I don't like it as it bothers my knees.

I was bad over the weekend - ate some things I should not have. Back with a vengeance today, though.
