Talon Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hello Everyone. I am glad this is still being updated. I continue to go to the gym every day. I still run every other day, and bike at the gym on the odd days that I don't run. I had gained 6 lbs....eating too much junk :pinch: but have recently lost 4lbs. and am hard at work on the last 2. Thanks for all the updates! Let's keep going everyone, NOW IS THE TIME!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Patsy thank you for answering I think it was as you said: not that much specialized into individual condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittykittykitty Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I finished this round of physical therapy yesterday (Friday here) so I'm on my own again. All the sets and reps don't leave much time for other things!:ohmy: except for Precious, of couse! I feel better, just want to hang on to the progress.

Talon Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 WELL, WELL, WELL, EVERYONE: I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I ATE WAY TOO MUCH TURKEY TODAY. I THOUGHT WE BETTER DUST THIS THREAD OFF, AND SEE IF WE CAN'T MOTIVATE EACH OTHER TO GET BACK EXERCISING AND EATING HEALTHY. Well that is maybe tomorrow after I finish off the pie and cookies......:unsure: :blink: <br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2008/11/27 23:27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I took a long walk in the morning...I've never measured the distance, but I thinks it's about 3 miles. Then had dinner at noon (a relatively sensible amount of food). Then took the same walk again with my son (he has phys ed this quarter at school and it is required homework for him to do 30 minutes of physical activity 4x a week). So far so good right? Then at about 9:00 pm we were all getting hungry again so DH ran out to White Castle. I had two sliders and one cheese stick. Aaargh. Probably ruined everything. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hulllooooooo! Where is everybody? Just wanted to drop a line into this thread about a fabulous book I just read called Younger Next Year by Chris Crowley and Harry S Lodge, M.D. It goes into great detail about the benefits of excercise. How it basically destroys muscle cells, forcing your body to make new ones, and therefore you are essentially younger on a cellular level. Fascinating reading and an inspiration to keep at it!

Talon Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 CAN WE PLEASE START THIS UP AGAIN????? :unsure: I will report in, I am still going to the gym, but supplementing it with the P90X program by Tony Horton. I am also enrolled in school to become a certified personal fitness trainer by the ISSA. I will keep you posted on my progress. It is an extremely in-depth and hard program, but I am determined to finish it and pass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks Judy! I know you'll be there for me to help me when I'm studying instead of playing here...although, I can't really stay away, all this scientific stuff makes me require many breaks! :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Just how does this thread work. Do you exercise and then check in? I certainly need some help to get me going and continue to progress. So just want does everyone do? Details please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goralka08 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Count me in on this weight & exercise support group! I am by no means overweight, but I really need to get firmer like the good ole days. I've been extremely active my whole life, and I can really tell the difference when I take "a break" and that isn't in a positive way. It's pretty hard to stay active year-round here in Michigan. All Spring, Summer, and Fall I was cycling at least every other day and I was in great shape. Come Thanksgiving the snow came early, ate a lot, and I got sick and lazy. Then I got real sick again at Christmas and had no physical activity. It was strange because I RARELY get sick...and to have it twice in 2 months was horrible. With no cycling and just moping around the house, I was bound to gain some weight. I do snowboard which is an excellent workout, but the only good hills here are 4 1/2 hours away near the Upper Peninsula. So we tend to only go once or twice a season. I love the outdoors and love working out in nature's setting....but it looks like I'm going to have to dust off that treadmill in the basement! Wish me luck because I'm going to start TODAY with 15 minutes. My plan is to start with a fast walking pace for 5 minutes, a light jog for 5 minutes, and then a 5 minute cool-off walk.

Talon Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 luvparrots, As stated in the first page of this thread, we are here to cheer each other on, and to share our progress and down slides that we all experience. Anything you would like to share is great. It is a moral booster to know your not alone in our fight to satay healthy. Checking in regularly is what I had hoped for from everyone, but that seems to have stopped. Maybe we can pick it up again. Goralka08, That's wonderful about the treadmill.! Dust it off, although you sound like an extremely active person!! Let's all keep in touch here and share, it helps keep us motivated. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goralka08 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Phew! I just finished my workout and I'm glad I got it done and over with instead of procrastinating. I even motivated my dad to walk 10 minutes on the treadmill! :woohoo: I didn't last the whole 15 minutes because I didn't want to be too sore tomorrow so I went 5 walking and 5 jogging. I added in push-ups when I finished to make up for getting off 5 minutes early! Now I think I'm going to start a food journal. I've done one before and it really helps make healthy choices because you don't want to write something unhealthy in your journal...ex. 6 chocolate chip cookies! I'm not going to deprive myself, but I just will watch my portion control. I'm going to continue this treadmill goal to AT LEAST every other day.

Talon Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 YAY!! I'm so proud of you!!!! And starting out slow is the best way to do it. You go!! KArma coming your way...:woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Okay, drug out my treadmill and stationary bike and dusted them off. They still work as I took about 10 minutes on each to try them out. My mistake is I always go at things gung ho and peter out, so this time I will take it slow and with the support of this thread I hope to do better!

Talon Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 luvparrots: You are so right, starting out all gung ho is a recipe for failure. Start out slow and easy. If you get too tired, or too sore the next day or so, then you won't want to continue. I started running for the first time ever in my lazy life when I was 47 years old. I was getting laughed at from my family who said I wouldn't last 2 weeks if that. I started out slow, and set my goals to the house just down the street a bit and told myself I would walk back. I did that, Then each day as I felt better, I would set a small goal, such as going to a different tree, or the next telephone pole, and maybe try running back a short distance. This kept me going as I wasn't getting discouraged. I was ACTUALLY making progress!!! I ran every morning first thing, and in only 2 months, I was running 2 miles!! I haven't stopped since. SO keep up what you are doing, and please check in here with us!! I look forward to living your progress with you! Karma for you for taking that HUGE first step and dusting off those machines. :woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Sunday it snowed here! So walked the treadmill a little. But today it was beautiful and sunny outside so Lily (pug) and I went for a 30 minute walk, it was fresh, bright and beautiful outside! I've ordered a harness for Ana Grey so she can go too!

Talon Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Wonderful!!! I'm so happy you got out and enjoyed the beautiful day. I'm not sure where you live, but I wonder what the temp was? It was -10 here this am, so I long for any warmth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Penny, it snowed Saturday night so Sunday we had snow on the ground in the morning until noon. This morning, Monday, it was sunny with blue skies, it was in the 60's; mild enough to go for a comfortable walk, sunny with lots of fresh air. The temperature now at 5:30 pm is 42 degrees. I live in Southern Washington so we are use to mild temperatures and any time the sun comes out with no wind its great! I turned off my heat this morning and it is still 65 degrees inside my house. I just appreciate it and enjoy!<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/01/27 07:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
