Hi all, Glad to see the thread is still moving along, we are really going to need it with the Holidays just around the corner!
Cindy - Have you gotten a chance to ride your new bike or has the weather turned against you. How's the marathon training going? You were WAY to late with the Halloween candy warning, I had already done in a bag of paydays, I justified it because it has nuts and nuts are good for you.
Soundy - I want a farm to get my exercise on too! I realize it's a lot more work then I probably want to deal with but I love the idea of living in the country and getting a workout without thinking it's a workout. How are the tendon's in your foot doing? Doc's should be use to strange reasons for getting hurt, I jumped over the exhaust from my husbands pickup a few years ago, my foot landed on a landscape board and I ended up with a hairline fracture.
Kaybo - Yes, mopping and sweeping is an exercise program, especially considering all the floor you have to do. I will explain some of my exercise programs later.
Priscilla - How are you doing on your 2 miles a day, 5 days a week. Will the weather change your plans?
Anissa - Congratulations on running the 5k, I haven't run more than a block in years.
Sara - Glad to hear the Body for Life Challenge is going well, it's always a boost for the morale and work out routine when the clothes fit more comfortable. At this point do you think you will continue the workout program and diet once the program is over?
Jan - Congratulations on getting the new job, I'm sure that once you settle into the new work routine you will find time to develop a workout routine as well. Starting a new job is enough to deal with at first.
Liz - I don't care for the treadmill either, I don't like it because I would rather be outside walking the dogs then stuck in one place inside. I ride the bike at the club but I'm already not caring for that to much as unlike riding out on the centennial trail the club bikes brother my back, got a heating pad on it now. Good thing about the club as you well know is using the weights, hope you can get back to doing that soon.
After our vacation I cut back on the bike riding so I could catch up on a few projects around the house, I walked the dogs almost every night but that was it. Then I decided I best get back to riding before the weather and time change made me go back to the gym. I could tell I had slacked off right away so rode everyday tell it was to dark after work to do it safely. I'm riding the bike at the club and will soon start doing the weights as well. I already miss riding outside, glad my husband got me doing it. My weekend work outs have included, pulling dead vines and plants out of the garden, helping my husband haul boards for the deck and then building the deck, carving 10 Jack O' Lanterns and last weekend we hauled rounds of wood home so my husband could turn them into fire wood, this weekend we stack the wood and hopefully finish the deck before the snow flies.
My husband has put over 2500 miles on his bike since last May just riding to and from work. He's now riding to the bus stop and taking the bus to work because of the shorter daylight hours and soon to be cold weather. His plan was to loose 20 pounds by Fall, he did and I'm jealous!
Hope everyone has a nice weekend! Jill
