DO unto thy body?

[keely99]

Okay, I swore that after 2 weeks of the induction I was going to start some form of exercising. WELL...here I am.

Went for a walk 4 km. It wasn't easy, actually started off easy, then feeling so good, I tackled a hill...YIKES...I wanted to quit right then and there. I am too determined though and NEW a cigarette was waiting for me at home with a tall glass of water.

Walk totalled 35 minutes and I DID IT!
Lungs hurt too much to smoke after.

My plan is simple, walk same route every other night, then next week I start at the Y and will do more there on alternate days.
Ambition is there :wiggle: :wiggle: :wiggle:

[keely99]

I worked at the store today, and I have to admit...2 days after doing that walking my legs are KILLING ME!!
I think I will just slow the pace down a bit and do more warm ups prior too.

So tonight...just regular stretching...no more.

[keely99]

Okay, I signed up at the Y last night, and it was too crowded for my taste to even THINK about a workout at that hour. I asked when they are not as busy, and afternoon seems to be best.
SOOOOOoooo

Went today at noon, and did 15 on a treadmill with no incline at a rate of 3mph with a 5 minute cool down.

Moved on to a exercise recline bike (whatever you call them) and did another 15 minutes with a 5 minute cool down.
Incidently...they both were on fat burner mode...whatever that means, and I stayed within my target rate....again...no CPR required...so I guess this was a good thing

Then it was OFF to the pool!! No kiddies there, just a few of us oldies but goodies, and here I am in a 2 piece granny bikini with boobs hanging out...I swear if that top burst open...they would drop and I could breast feed snakes!!!
I did 20 minutes in the pool of lane swimming, breaking only occassionaly for a toe cramp.

My goal is 6 days a week....I am gonna win this battle, come hell or high water!!!

[lissame]

:cheer: YAY KEELY!!! :cheer:

Omgosh I wanna join the Y!!! What did your membership cost ya? Ohhh to be able to swim in a pool w/out the nasty onlookers *dreams*

Keep it up honey, I'm rootin for ya!!

[keely99]

It really didn't cost that much, honest.
I applied for subsidizing (?) as I am on disability and single. I also asked about the slowwwwwwwww times when very few people are there.
Don't get me wrong, there are windows around it, so anyone can actually watch....so far..no takers to watch :lol:

[keely99]

Up and dressed by 7 a.m. and all set to go to the gym!!!
Got there, and had my mug shot taken...UGH...not pretty.
Treadmill 15 minutes at 2.9mph with a 5 minute cool down after

that bike thingie....did 15 minutes on fat burner mode with a 5 minute cool down

THEN...thought I would try this deep water aerobics classs!!
I mean...after all, it had a few ladies that were in there 60's and 70's in there, how hard could it be? :nono: :nono: :nono:
It was a 45 minute class...and I lasted almost 15.


I ACHE NOW!!!!

Those ladies could probably kick my BUTT!!!
I now have a new respect for those older than myself.

Hey girlie!! Come join us!! Exercise Challenge (http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?p=1234873)

[keely99]

After yesterday's workout...I was so tired this morning!!!
But I pushed and off to the gym I went again.

20 minutes on the treadmill

10 minutes on the bike thingie then a 5 min cool down

Today they had a low impact water aerobics...so I decided...why not!!
This one was 45 minutes...I went for 30 of those minutes!! :yay: :yay:
Then sat in the whirlpool for a bit.

Looking at the class continuing on..I should of stayed...they worked on the arms and back area....I really need it there ....NEXT CLASS!

[Skamito]

Wow, you are doing great! Congrats. The Y has a great discount for disability, a friend of mine uses it... and she's lost 50 pounds!

Anyway, keep up the good work! :thup:

[keely99]

TY for the congrats....I am really liking this Y.

Well, did diddly squat today...no gym :cry:
Was told at the front desk that on weekends if it looks like rain...the centre will be busy. If sunny and nice...the place is empty.
It looked like rain today.

Thought I would try later, but ended up working at the store.

That was the start to my perfectly TERRIBLE day

[keely99]

Well it was another "iffy"day on the weather. Seems it doesn't want to make up its mind as to what it wants to do.
Hence...no gym. The only one problem I can find at the moment with the Y is that on weekends, they open at 8 a.m. not 6 a.m..
Decided to go for a walk-about. Went all over downtown and home again, took almost an hour.
That was all I did.

[keely99]

Up and at 'em today...early start!!!!!

Got to the Y and did 15 minutes on tread mill, then off to bike, and another 15 minutes. Attempted some AB machine, but I don't think I set it up right as my boobs were on the pressing pads and everytime I leaned down to pull UP the weights...they would pop out and hit my chin!! Gotta get some help on that there machine. :agree:
Luckily...it wasn't too busy.
Off to the pool then, did 3 laps then did a full class (45 min)of low impact aerobics!!!

[keely99]

Didn't get up at a decent hour...slept until 11:30
This is NOT a good time to go to the Y...the kiddies start coming in.
I almost didn't go...but decided I would only do the treadmill and pool.

I did 20 minutes on the treadmill and jogged for 2 minutes every 5 and increased the speed for those 2 minutes. I actually had a sweat going!!

I then found an AB machine that won't remove my breasts, and did 2 reps of 10 on it.

Off to the pool for 10 laps.

While changing, was ogled and giggled at by 9 year old little girls...I was Soooo embarrased, I wanted to cry.
Please....ladies...if you have little ones at that age....alert them even fat people have feelings.
I was ready to give in right then and there.
There was only ONE mother in the change room, and I approached her as to the kids behaviour...her response? "come some other time then"

Not a good day

[keely99]

Off to the gym
Did the tread mill with the usual jog/walk/jog thing...I am really liking this, and this time I put it on a slight incline.

Did the AB machine again...did the reps.
Did the birthing chair...not pretty
Found a dorsal fin thingie again...just did mild reps..nothing to severe..just trying it out
Missed water aerobics, so did laps instead

I am so consistant

[keely99]

NO workout today..was really tired and kept putting it off, then when I wanted to go, was reminded about a dentist appointment.

I promise to run my tail off and do weights tomorrow.
For TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY!! lol

[keely99]

I think I am going into a manic mode...again.
My medication is being adjusted and should take about 2 weeks to notice or feel a difference. In the meantime, I still have SOME control :yay:
Was awake ALL night....and went to the gym at 6 a.m. and felt I will work my arse off in hopes that I tire out.

25 minutes on treadmill, while incorporating more jogging on it

worked machines pertaining to abs...butt, thighs, and calves.
2 reps of 10 using various weights. My legs are strong..just need to lift that butt up a few feet :lol: :lol:

Into the pool for only 3 laps, then did my own mock water aerobics for 15 minutes.

Total time at the gym....1 hour 30 minutes.
Tuckered me out somewhat.

[lissame]

Ack - gotta love the manic mode to get shite done.. but be ever soo careful! Between you and me... I've been very bad, lol. I stopped my meds two weeks ago. Cold turkey. Hell of a trial and error, but we shall see what happends. Cross ur fingers for me k? And you're always in my thoughts and prayers.

[quibbers]

You are doing great Keely! Hope the new meds even out pretty soon. I wish I could get going in the pool. Will try some laps next time I go.

[keely99]

Thanks Mel and Quibbers....Manic is so refreshing...lmao
I am finding for some strange reason this is the time I want and DO drink more coffee than I should. SO I decided to try and beat that craving and only ordering larges and every other one is decaf, hoping it will make some difference. So I won't count on losing much in the pounds this week when I weigh in. :cry:

Y time again, and did the usual treadmill of 25 min....just couldn't get into a jog...so fast paced walk instead.

Worked on the upper body today using some rather unusual contraptions that perhaps at one time where used for medival torture before the prisoner was drawn, hung and quartered. I know I will definately hurt in the morning...BUT...if it picks my nipples up from my ankle bone..then it is worth it.

[quibbers]

:LOL: Keely! That's a mental pic I didn't need this early in the morning...hee hee

I think when the kids start back to school I'll give the Y's weight/machine room a try. I have no idea what to do tho- I'll see if I can find someone to show me. I've Never Ever worked out on machines, but if my 72 yr old mom can do it-I can too!!! Rah! Rah!

Going to skip the NT today and try and make it to the pool, or- I have all those lovely workout videos to choose from.

Shall we set a goal to get off the caffiene? I need to do that too, or at least cut back. Every other cup is a good idea I think. I kept it to one this morning.

Have a great day :)

[keely99]

Let's set a goal...I am with you on that TOTALLY 100%

But the stock market will bottom out on coffee beans...pull out NOW!!

I am at 2 1/2 so far today, been a real trying morning, trying to keep up with your posts...we are both on at the same time, and I see we both have a sense of humour...

Smoke too? I am like a friggen chimmney, even smoked when I use to run. If you don't that is okay...I will still like you. :lol: :lol:

[quibbers]

Smoke?!? Are you out of your mind?!?!? :LOL: With this body and diet and poor exercise habits? I'd of croaked long ago. Fanatical anti smoker is what I am. Oh! I have a story...

Dh is a CFNP (family prac) right. So, he's always out and about in town. I'm always running mom's taxi service so am out and bout a lot myself. So, one day last month, I pull up to an intersection and we see our car "Tinky" off to the left in the turn lane and we're going "Hey-it's Tink-no- there's a woman in it-and the person driving is smoking, so it can't be dad.." We're arguing if it could be him or not, so I pick up the cell and call him "Dh-where are you right now?" He gives me the intersection (lite turns) and I start screaming into the phone "Then why the heck do you have a friggin cigarette in your hand?!?!?!" at which point he about has a heart attack, starts whipping his head back and forth looking for me (he's NOT allowed to smoke) and goes "OMG! Where are you? Where are you?" I growl "I'm everywhere buddy-and you're in deep caca when you get home!" Click. My son starts moaning 'Our family our familyWHY WHY" and dd 7 bursts into tears. The NP student, i heard said dh lost all the blood in his face and started to shake and had to pull over! :D Dh now has to have spot sniff checks by dd and ds 10 shows up at random to dig through his car. He's been clean for a month now-hahaha

Poor dh, he never gets away with anything. I guess it's safe to say, the only smoking I do, is discharge steam out of my ears. I went to a concert in May- immediatly got sinus infection that lasted a month. All I could smell and taste was smoke :P

[keely99]

LMAO

Good story...I am EVERYWHERE buddy...CLICK!!!!
I could actually visualize it!!

I know all to well about sinus infections..get them too when around other smokers that are "fuming" up a storm. Can't stand it to be honest, but...it is my only flaw? NOT!!!!!

My ds and I both smoke, and so did ALL my hubb's. Been around it for many years, so figure I now know what I shall die of, but then again, my luck the constant nagging of ds will do me in first. Oh how I wish he would JUST LEAVE!!!! He is also asthmatic and shouldn't, can you say...fried lungs with that? I have told him over and over again, he even went out to by the patch to quit. We made a deal that I would quit along with him, but he is a chicken poop. HEY..if I am willing...why not. I can always sneak into the car....lmao

Tell your dh...he has my sympathy...even though he is in cowboy mode today...OH..where are the spurs????

[keely99]

No exercise today...it was a rain day, and muggy. Spent almost all morning online trying to out do quibbers on posts! :lol: :lol:
So in actuality...my fingers got a work out!!

Going to try the gym in the a.m. but due to the civic holiday up here, the gym opens later, and all those KIDDIES will be there. AND...we are expecting MORE rain...and I know what that means...busy...busy...BUSY.

I am trying to think of things around this place that I can work out doing...housework? NAH laundry....HA, and NAH
A good walk? NAH...I am made of sugar, and I may melt


Need a man for a few hours...okay..MINUTES

[quibbers]

LMAO ~ the time requirements for your exercise "needs" for the day...ahemmm..

Spurs? Oh yes, he has some-custom made no less :mad: That's a whooole nuther story....

Did I mention he was from NYC??? LOL

well...you could scrub something- like, the floors, that's a good workout. So is laundry around my house. Ugh. I used to walk in the rain, never really bothered me. That's when I was "one with nature" and all- but it was never a downpour either. Don't you have any workout videos???? C'mon Keely-fess up! Hand weights? Cans of veggies?

anda one-and two- and lift those nibblets-er-corn kernals!

Wha hahaha:D

[keely99]

Work out videos? Right...not in this place!! I get so jealous of those skinny *itches, who wants to work out. Make me a work out video with a person that looks like Mamma Cass and I MAY do it, until then..NOWAY!!!

Well, no work out today..they Y opened late..and I had to drive about an hour and a half to get to this kids thing...did I mention Patsy Cline? :lol:
I sweated enough in that heat..I should of put plastic wrap around my entire body and sweat the fat out!!
I promise to really work my arse off tomorrow. Will attempt 30 minutes on the treadmill!!

Did I mention Patsy? OH...gotta tell all, at this thing with PATSY, one of the co-ordinators who was NOT too shabby either (yes..I told him :lol: )
I asked him to turn around for a second...thus he did...and I thanked him very kindly..NICE BUTT, and yes...I told him :lol: :lol:
Picking my tongue up from the ground was my exercise

[quibbers]

:eek:You didn't?!?! ROFLMAO!!!! YOU are SOOOOO bbaaaaaaaad!

Tongue lifts eh? I wonder....you and Gene Simmons could do a workout video~~~:idea: :P

[lissame]

OMG girl!! You are sooo bold! That does it, we have to get together for a weekend sometime - quibbers and I will hang back and watch you go!

[keely99]

Comes with age girls....comes with age.
Actually, no it doesn't......lmao...been doing this all my life.

I have been a butt checker outter since I can remember, even touch, slap, pinch to check out firmness. You don't buy bad fruit do ya? You always check it out FIRST!!!

When I was working at the hospital, there was a young thing working there, and he had a butt to crack eggs on. Everyday, I would get him to SPIN for me, and thank him from the bottom of my heart for just MAKING my day!! He would turn BEAT RED!! Started walking backwards around me..Hmmmm CHICKEN
Such a nice young man, and so innocent. Kept telling him, HEY, file harrassment, I will even sign the dang papers!! THen we can split the settlement!

Some men are just TOOOOOOOO delicious.

[keely99]

I was away up North (just north of Huntsville) and swam every day!
I didn't dare walk as there are BEARS up there, and I am SURE I would look like a buffet to them!! :lol: :lol:
