[Shadow]

Let's go, let's go, let's go - the week is slipping my already :evil:!

Today was chest and back followed by a 45 minute walk.

What did YOU do today :)?

[Anniesnan]

I was planning on heavy duty cleaning at my sis's - and not planning on walking, but, dh was up at crack of dawn, so,
we walked about 35 minutes.

he went grocery shopping for her, while ds & I cleaned. She's in a 3rd floor walk up, so, this is multiple trips up and down the stairs, carting garbage out, groceries in.

floor mopping, scrubbing, etc.

so I moved a lot :D:D

Yeah for the both of you :thumbsup:! (Although at first I read you had walked 35 miles and I was totally agog :lol: )

Well done, Amy :thumbsup: :D!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Karole]

err....umm....Shadow, the grand son and family are here and I haven't done any exercise at all. :o:o

Then I must tell you we are leaving for the Memorial day trailride tomorrow and won't be back until Monday. I know I'm absent a lot, but I will be back. :jawDrop:

Just wanted you to know what is up so you don't have to come looking for me.:D

[Ammy]

50 min walk with the dogs...not stop and pretty fast!

[Claudette]

Hi, y'all,
Today, was a 35 ' walk, Callanetics tonight before I hit the sack.
Whew, busy day, but did the exercise.

Hugs,
Claudette

Hey, Claudette!

Upper body today with some HIIT on the bike and ten mins on the arc trainer. I skipped the treadmill because my knee was being touchy. I love being stronger. I can carry my own guitars, music bag, mando, etc. in one trip now!

[Shadow]

Sounds like it's time to get those youngsters out for a walk or something ;)!

Well I should hope so :eek:!!!!!!!!! But at least when you're riding you're getting some moving in :razz:!

Just wanted you to know what is up so you don't have to come looking for me.
Always a wise plan! I'm gonna miss you :( but hope to hear a great report from you as soon as you get back :D!

Love those dog walks, Amy :D :thumbsup: :D!

I am so proud of you, Claudette :D!!!!! What a good example you set for all of us :nod:!

Well done, Carol :thumbsup:! I especially love how you've learned from experience and always find a substitution for something that's going to give you problems :nod:!

How awesome is that :D?!?!?!?!?!?!

[gitfiddle]

Rather low-key lower body today. I had some dandy leg cramps from the HIIT last night! Tomorrow's a rest day.

Lita, you'd better get out the whip and the bloodhounds. There are some missing persons! :D

[Anniesnan]

I moved and shook yesterday, jsut forgot to post ;)

walking and stairs in the morning, walking in the afternoon:D

felt the need for extra sleep, so I went to bed at 9. Didn't get up til 5:30 - was hoping to wake at 5 to do Gilad ...

Way to go keeping it low-key :thumbsup: :nod:!

Well, since my whip obviously is losing its power :cry: I think I'm just going to resort to being terribly disappointed in most everybody :( :peeved: :mad: :angry:

Don't know that that will get 'em either, but.... I can always try, right :razz:?

Believe me, at this point in time I'd give anything for an extra 1/2 hour of actual sleep :rolleyes:, so I won't whoop ya this time :). Not promising anything in the future, though ;)!

[Ammy]

I walked to the library yesterday.
I didn't need to...but it felt great getting outside and moving.

about 1.5miles.
Nothing to write home about...but it was something.

I miss the dogs...

Sounds good to me :nod:!

Maybe you'll get to do it again soon ;).

[Ammy]

I WILL get to do it again...in two weeks when I have to return the book :razz: !!!

:D

That's great :thumbsup:! But hopefully you'll find something else to do for M&Sing in the meantime ;) :suspicious: :p!

[Martha]

Well, since my whip obviously is losing its power :cry: ?
not so much as you might have thought, my back looks like I've been flogged but I'm feeling much better. I went back to work on Mon, fought with my umbrella every day this week with the wind trying to turn it inside out or take me away (now that's a work out.) I'm hoping to be back up to normal routine this weekend. It's really taken my energy, though. at least my sense of humor is intact:)

Phew - I am so relieved to know I haven't lost my touch :lol:!

So who won - you, the umbrella, or the wind ;)?

Give yourself time :). Too much, too soon and you'll be at a standstill again ;).
at least my sense of humor is intact
I think that's the most important part :nod:!

[Martha]

lol, well I'm telling the story so I'm gonna say I won, but don't ask my umbrella.
I'm really looking forward to the long weekend. I have a recumbent bike, I'm gonna see how that feels. My back is a little sore, but I can adjust the back so that should be ok. If its too rainy, the gym near me s doing a free zumba trial, it seems. That location isn't new but apparently there is a grand opening somewhere.

Thanks for your support!

[Anniesnan]

Shadow -

I know the whip is coming, but I didn't do much in the way of moving OR shaking today :eek:

did walk around Costco and stairs, but not with much vigor:cool:

again couldn't get up this morning early enough to exercise before my day begins

can't seem to get enough sleep, don't exactly know why. But, during the day, I feel like I'm revving once I am awake. :confused:

anyway - tomorrow, I promise!
myself as well as you!

[gitfiddle]

Sorry to report that I didn't get to the gym tonight. Retirement party after work. I actually forgot about it and carried my gym bag this morning. :rolleyes:

Tomorrow will be business as usual, only I'll do both upper and lower resistance. :)

[Parisienne]

Hello everyone, I'm just to say 'hi' as I have nothing interesting to report. As usual before exams I am not able to concentrate on anything else. My M&S is virtually non-existent:o. (And I can feel it - my back is painful due to long hours spend at the desk...) Anyway, it's going to change soon: my last exam is on 29 May morning so hopefully I will be a regular visitor from that date on. See you soon!

[Ammy]

I miss walking the dogs...:frown:

[gitfiddle]

I'm sure they miss you, too, Amy.

I did upper and lower body tonight and came home feeling especially good.

Speaking of missing.....where are you Shadow? Did you have a day off? :cool:

Sounds great :D!I did upper and lower body tonight and came home feeling especially good.
Makes me feel good too :D!

:nod: - It's more than just fear of the whip that keeps us exercising ;).

We live in hope :slywink:!

[Shadow]

They probably miss you very much too, Amy :(! Just like we do when you're scarce around here :tongue:!

[Ammy]

Hey, on Friday I walked to the library and around downtown (1.5miles minimum), then went on a 2mile bike ride.
