ACMESkydiver 0 #1 February 15, 2008 Sorry about the 'fools' thing...I'm running out of 'F' words to go after 'fitness'. I'm feeling purdy good...I'm not getting on the scale for 40 days. That's my commitment to myself. I did some Mari Windsor pilates, since I have the DVD's and my damn gym STILL has no classes!! I'm trying to tiptoe around the edge of whatever sickies my boys have caught yet again, and my resistance tanks when I over-exert working out. I'm working out every day, just keepin' it low key and not freaky hard. Diet...still doing no preservatives, no processed white flours, no sugar...only exception being 'authorized' protein shakes, bars, etc. I'm feeling much better! How are all of you doing? New routines? Anyone try something different? A word on pilates...my hips hurt. It really worked those outer points. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

McBeth 0 #2 February 15, 2008 I did legs and abs today. Not sure how I'm going to manage to eat healthy down in SoCal this weekend, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. I'll update next week on how I did! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #3 February 15, 2008 Gym this morning and yesterday morning. Hoping to take advantage of that nice weather forecast this weekend for some outdoor exercise. And apparently I'll have a lot more flexibility in my schedule to work out starting Monday. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

MrFreefall383 0 #4 February 16, 2008 Did 40 pullups yesterday in sets of 10, then 150 pushups in sets of 50. Today I did a 30 minute run, managed 3.4 miles. About to do a bunch of situps before watching Fight Quest.

tigra 0 #5 February 16, 2008 Upper body- back and shoulders- with the trainer on Tuesday, cardio and legs last night. I was thinking arms tonight, but that was earlier. Now I'm thinking cardio, arms and abs tomorrow. I did spend Valentine's Day evening at the gym and all, so maybe I should spend tonight with the SO instead......

SkydiveStMarys 0 #6 February 16, 2008 So far I ran 6.66 miles this week. A little low for me but I am getting my hair highlighted tomorrow morning at the Salon and I plan to run there and back. THAT should make up for any miles that I didn't run during the week!!I let ya know how it goes. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

SarahC07 0 #16 February 17, 2008 I'll be babying my right knee for what I fear will turn into forever. I should really go to the doc. I did 45 minutes of cardio, abs x 3, Isos - 10 rounds of 10 second holds, and push ups... in sets of - how ever the hell many can I do? and side isos - 45 seconds on each side. Rinse and repeat. Sadly, I was excited about 12 consecutive full body push ups. I've always been one for girly pushups, so punching out 'manly' push ups was pretty awesome. I even had decent form!! I'll be back at the gym tomorrow... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psipike02 0 #25 February 18, 2008 Still keeping up with my workouts. Had a few days off last week to rest and had some other stuff going on... This week is crunch time as my cruise is this saturday and i'll be gone until march 2nd. I am going to try to keep up working out on the ship too, I'll feel like crap if I dont, so i'll wake up and do it early before the day actually starts.. Did the boardshorts test again last night with the rest of my shorts and I was pretty happy....definitely was expecting worse. I also bought the Perfect Pushup a few days ago too for like $20 at Walmart. (http://store.perfectpushup.com/home.php?cat=2&xid=718e834a033e346c9c94c2af50f87e71 You can actually feel the difference and he gives you a 21 day workout to do that you complete every other day. So I do those on days when i'm resting/doing cardio at the gym. They're small enough that I'll probably take them on the cruise with me too... Definitely noticing a difference in my chest and my back when I flex and can tell that my stomach is slowly shrinking. I'm down to 247 and 16% body fat. Gonna keep going hard though...especially for my new part-time job Oh and Acme, I'll probably buy some of the stuff we talked about after I get back... Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
