Thread: November Exercise accountability

No "deliberate" exercise today. But, I helped one of our drivers transfer the contents of one truck to another. Whew! That was tough! I was sweaty, winded, and tired when we were done.

I'm trying to at LEAST exercise every other day, if not every day. No more than one day in between without exercise. For me, that is good!

My loss held, & I was down another pound. No dairy, good exercise= weight loss 4 me!

WTG, maxibee!
how is everyone else doing? shelley, hope you're healing well from your surgery!

tues: got up early and hit the gym before work. ran 40 mins, 20 mins elliptical, 20 mins bike. went hard - glad to be done w/ my workout for the day!

water aerobics 1 hour this morning

Tonight I plan on watching the biggest loser at the gym on the elliptical. So 65 minutes there!

I worked out on my home gym....I could tell I hadn't been using it for the last few days. I did 2 sets of 7 exercises, 16 reps twice. Some are harder than others. I'll be on the Gazelle tomorrow, and try to get some more time on the gym during Survivor Thursday night.

swam and did water weights this morning

Did 10 minutes on the treadmill and 45 minutes on the elliptical. Worked hard and felt good! Then I went on to weight machines for toning for 1/2 hour.

I just love exercise well watching TV Maxibee. It keeps my mind off what I'm doing. My father bought me an exercise arm band radio for the gym. I also like exercising to music. Can't wait to use it tomorrow.

I've got a date with the Gazelle tonight....

wed: ran 6.25 miles in 60 mins, biked hard 15 mins, lifted tricep muscles (16 sets). awesome workout!

Going on the elliptical this morning for 65 minutes.

thurs: ran 6.3 miles in 60 mins, biked 15 mins, lifted chest muscles.

Today I did 63 minutes on the elliptical and then weight machines for toning. I was able to add some weight to machines again (2nd time since I started). I'm up to 110 pounds with my legs but can only life 15 pounds with my arms on some of the machines. I'm a weenie! Other arm machines have gone onto 40 pounds so it just depends on what arm muscles I'm working.

Heather, I'm the same way. On my home gym, I can do 4 completely different arm exercises. They are all fairly easy at 30# except one. It's hard! The leg exercises are different, too. Like you said....it depends on what muscles you are using during each exercise.

I "stood up" the Gazelle the other night. TOM is here and I've felt like garbage for 2 days. That's unusual for me.

I am planning on using the Gazelle tonight while watching "NUMB3RS". I enjoy it once I get started. It's that whole getting started thing that's the problem! LOL!

I'm sure I mentioned this before but I read an article on this study that said that you burn more calories a week before TOM and during TOM. That must be why we are always so hungry! I always think that this is my chance to lose the most! I just got over TOM to whoosh 3 pounds off within a few days. I'm glad I put in the extra exercise to do it! It is so hard to make it through the cravings but worth it in the end. Keep up the good work Maxibee!
