ACMESkydiver 0 #1 May 16, 2008 Hey! I got in a great workout today...only second good one in 2 weeks, so it felt good. i did a 30 minute ab class this morning, then a 1hr PIYO (pilates/yoga), then 30 minutes on the treadmill, then lugging my 92 pound baby boy around the roller skate rink for a lil' bit. How are y'all doin'? ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #2 May 16, 2008 Great with the workouts, but not so good with my eating habits lately for some reason. I really need to get back on track- my goal is to drop 10 pounds by July 4th and the regular workouts can only do so much. But the workouts, classes, personal trainer sessions- all going very well and even having family in town last weekend did not completely derail my schedule! I just love feeling stronger and building endurance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyskydiver 0 #3 May 16, 2008 Well..haven't posted prior to this but 'eh...what the heck. My eating habits are awesome now - no junk food what-so-ever. (Of course, they have to be as the food availability here on the island is 'eh...and junk food's way too freakin' expensive!!!!!) Working out - guaranteed daily - plus the fact that the island has tons of hills and is mountainous well...I should be looking pretty dang good in a string bikini bathing suit soon. And, I only miss a workout if it's pouring at 5:30am when I head outside. So far...I've missed 1 in the last 3 weeks. Combine all that with the hiking trips and swimming stuff that goes on and viola! Exercise heaven. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

NtheSeaOrSky 0 #4 May 16, 2008 Good on you!! I...well...I 'fell off the fitness wagon'. I did a 10 mile river kayak last saturday and that has been the extent of my 'exercise' for several weeks. Life came crashing down and apparently I was not dedicated enough to my workouts. Fall down seven times, stand up eight...so the saying goes. New routine starting tomorrow. Wish me luck.Life is not fair and there are no guarantees... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I messed up and had some beer, pizza, and chocolate cake with my father in law. He was terribly depressed so I brought him beer and pizza. We're both on diets, and we both said 'I'm not supposed to eat this' & we ate lunch.

No worries! You can always start again. Personally I was relying too much on circumstance dictating to me what I needed to do for my health. Maybe I couldn't have worked out as hard...but I still should have gone to the gym, got on the treadmill, or done some pushes & sits anyway. 25 push ups and sit ups per day and 10 minutes on a treadmill even if I can't manage anything else. That's what I'm saying for me...I could do that no matter what; that way, the habit doesn't break down because life did. But we're back on track, right? I'm proud of you for making a commitment for tomorrow.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 259 #11 May 17, 2008 Today I walked from the parking lot to the classroom. And back. I did park way out there though. That's gonna be the extent of my workouts until the 21st. Finals suck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrFreefall383 0 #12 May 17, 2008 Still keeping up to my morning IT sessions, and doing afternoon and evening sessions now as well. Gotta get in better shape, not just maintain it. Strange thing is I haven't eaten too much more than I normally would, in fact I've eaten less than at Basic, workouts aren't as strenuous as they were in Cape May, and I've gained almost 10 lbs. since I got back. It's a strange thing, I've been around 140-145 for years, maintained 143 coming out of Basic, then jumped up to 154 since getting back into town at the end of April.

tigra 0 #16 May 19, 2008 No workouts over the weekend (heading to the gym in a few for cardio, legs and abs.....) but I did a lot of yardwork on Saturday and I'm still sore from that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yardhippie 0 #18 May 19, 2008 I havent gotton in on this b/c I just am not on here very much. I changed my diet and just a little of my exercise routine. Here is what I did. Monday - Thursday: All vegitarian or damn close. Steamed, grilled or lighly sauteed in olive oil. Rice, pasta, and other carbs. As much protien rich veggies as possible: beans, squash and mushrooms. Friday - Sunday: Good luck. I watch the amount of food I eat if it is bad for me (fast food). Any meat is fair. I like meat. mmmmm...mmmmmmm steak. I also am SIGNIFICANTLY more active on weekends than I am on the weekdays. Since the beginning of the year I have lost right at 20 pounds. I was never a big guy, but it was obvious that I was carrying an extra boat anchor around my waist. My pants are loose, my belt in new holes and I feel better. I cant vouch for it too much b/c I have a strong metabolism. Dayum, it has worked for me. Good luck to ya'll!

MrFreefall383 0 #19 May 20, 2008 Been upping my numbers a little bit in preparation for going to my first unit in another 10 days. Mornings are 50 pushups, 150 crunches, 75-100 squats, and 75 flutterkicks, and evenings are similar numbers, so at least 100 pushups, 300 crunches, 150-200 squats, and 150 flutterkicks everyday. Tomorrow I'm going to run after my workday ends, but tonight it's uniform maintenance, shining my boondockers and pressing a new ODU for tomorrow to impress a potentially cute female recruit.

merino007 0 #21 May 21, 2008 I've been doing pretty well lately. I've been deployed for almost 2 months so there's not much to do here. So, why not workout. My goal was to start swimming again. I'm up to a mile in 35 min every other day. I still hit the weights and run on non swimming days. Eating healthy is the hard part. There's candy everywhere!! We have more candy than bullets!! Everything in excess is bad... except skydiving and sex! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to hear that a fellow servicemember is keeping fit instead of keeping "in shape" since round is still a shape. Mind if I ask what branch? On a similar note, I've been keeping up my numbers, and today I'm definitely going to run, no matter how tired I am, then swim tomorrow morning. A few hundred crunches and flutterkicks everyday only go so far, and that gut has to be gone in two weeks when I report to Gloucester."If at first you don't succeed... well, so much for skydiving." - aviation cliche Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
