do you see my "ice cream"? :lol:

budweiser with a diet coke chaser!

blaaaargh!

Sadly, not Bud and the diet coke preceded it....

So, I found the coolest website to log my workouts. ontri.com You can log run, swim, bike and 'other' workouts, including weight training. You can keep track of your weight, log routes and keep track of personal best times for them, and it calculates or prints reports of your running totals of all your distances, times, calories burned, and lots of other cool stuff. FREE! No stupid monthly fees. I encourage you to check it out. (I am not affiliated nor am I getting anything to recommend it, it's just the best thing out there that I've found)

As of yesterday, I have swam 7 miles since I started in February. (swum?) Either way, wow.

crazy...i was just looking for this thread.

i was just gonna say that i can feel every muscle in my chest, legs arms and hips.

I raised the seat on the chest press machine yesterday, and did lower pecs.....owie. and i did heavy leg curls and squats.....and the whole stack on that butterfly machine that does your glutes and outer thighs.

I've got to wait til I get paid and then change my membership from Concession to Full Price. It's not as if I am benefitting from the fact I am on half price membership while working - I haven't been to the gym since I started here because the times I am elegible to attend clash with my work!

Just gotta wait to have the extra money for the first month up front. Then I'll be back.

I'm still feeling fit though. I noticed the other day when I squatted down to look at something on a low shelf in a shop. Only a couple of months ago I'd have had to sit on the floor to do this as my knees and thighs couldn't support me. And I had to have something to pull myself up on. Now I can squat like a normal person :)

That's awesome SG! Make sure you keep up some exercises even when you can't make it to the gym.

The hardest part about working out and getting in shape is going to the gym. The actual act of moving yourself to the building. Screw the pain, the time commitment, the scheduling, the not fitting in with the other meatheads; the hardest part about working out is not working out--it's relocating your lazy fat ass there.

who needs the gym? You can get a perfectly good workout with music and a 2x4 square of clear space in your living room.

Now, of course, I'm a gurrrl and I don't do heavy weight training. Also, I prefer to be by myself. But I don't have to dress up, (or at all), pay fees, spend gas, or expose myself to all those gymmy germs.

My "gym" equipment consists of a mini tramp, exercise ball, bosu ball (a recent addition); free weights, including leg weights, a couple of stretchy bands. And LOTS of strength training books. Videos, too, 'though I tend to favor the books over the videos.

And music--did I mention music? And, fine. I just like to dance around in my living room.

I badly need to start doing something. I got some of the strength band thingys but need to start using them. What books would you recommend?

I haven't been to the gym in over a month. Need to get off the ass and go. "I think I can, I think I can..."

Most of yer encyclopedias would be heavy enough.

"Running"(if you call 2 mile/hr running) 30 mins a day up hill 10% grade, and weight training every other day.

That combined with a lowered carb higher protein with a lot of vegetable diet. I was losing 5 lb of body fat a week.
