Bump when you workout/exercise...

New running route: around a lake surrounded by hilly woodland that has a court cairn on one side and a castle on the other. Very pretty. The hills and uneven terrain made it a challenging run.

again just a wee bit cold and windy and wet for biking, but had a nice vigorous walk

Couldn't post from the gym last night; don't know if it was because the treadmills were messed up or because I left my phone at home.

I'm hoping it's naught to do with the phone. If the phone company is charging me to use AT&T to access the web from the gym treadmills it wipes out the benefits of having wifi treadmills! I can't afford the per-use charges.

Anyway I did 20 minutes on the elliptical at greater resistance than before

Used a leg press machine I hadn't used before--me likey

I don't recall how many pounds I set any of the machines to but I used the
Rowing machine
Pectoral fly/deltoid crunch
Torso flexion (I really like this machine as I can move more weight with it than any of the others, I think I'm getting close to 90#)
Abdominal crunch (my diaphragm is still tender 20 hr later)
Shoulder lift
Chest press

And then I tried the treadmills but blew it off when the webpages wouldn't load.

Plus I'm not getting the enjoyment out of it that I did before. I spend to much time worrying that NT hubby is fretting about me being not with with him. I think the accusations of looking for a different partner are the type of manipulative bs that NT's make up to hurt feelings. I hope that's what it is. I can't tell when he's being honest with me and when he's saying what he thinks I want to hear and when he's saying whatever he thinks will get a desired response.

Walked 8.4 k's

you all are a bunch of fit people

not so much a work-out
but waiting 3+ weeks for getting the shearer not arriving, I did it myself
(Sheep shearing is also considered a sport with competitions held around the world.)
ouff, it went well for the knees, but I won't be jumping around for some days :/

poor thing.

Wow Traven, thats hard work, fair play

Just back from a Tag game, and the running is paying off, I am getting faster .

Was asked to join the Sevens ladies rugby training tonight, but I'll need to buy a gum shield first . I'll try it out and see, if it's too rough I'm gone, but I think it might make the approaching line out less threatening in Tag.

walked a bit and then biked up and down the hills and dales.

Walked 4.5 k's
Cycled 16.8 k's
Not bad for someone with COPD.
Haha

Done a 5k mix of jogging, running and sprints.

stationary bike
all the weight machines i did before but less weight except on the torso flexion
found the thighmaster type thing in a corner and did both hib adduction and hip abduction
aand treadmill

screen is sticky and doubling many of my letters

walked around the evergreen state college campus.

So... I did actually do my usual 17+ miles on Wed. & Thurs. Then I took off Friday and did my usual on Saturday and today.

I was surprised at how much better I did Saturday morning! That day off REALLY helped. I guess I've been over-training a bit. From now on, I'm gonna try to do 3 on 1 off.

Also, I think I finally cracked the weight-loss code! I dropped about 7lbs this week.

The trick (for me anyway) is to workout BEFORE breakfast. I also do a (mostly) paleo type diet and I do intermittent fasting--I eat everything within the first 6-8 hours of the day. Basically, I skip dinner, but I don't really count calories.

Apparently, that long period of fasting followed by exercise really helps to trigger weight-loss.

I hope I can sustain this. I need to drop another 20lbs or so.
