The getting back in shape thread

Went to the park today after work (71 degrees at 5 pm! Woohoo!). I stuck to the flat part of the path and didn't go around the hill (still coughing a bit and I get a little winded climbing the stairs), but it was a nice 20 minute walk.

1100 calories went *blip* last night Of course, it took about 1.5 hours of cardio (stair climbing and arc trainer) to do so...but I'm not complaining. Still, I am a bit sore today, and will probably stay home from the gym tonight, and prepare a very warm bath to help relieve the pain in my shoulders and back. Not complaining about that either--no pain, no gain

Just did a 55 min lunch walk for 150 cals (or so sayeth my app)

Will (hopefully) be hiking up a smallish mountain this weekend, so that will be many cals all gone And good practice for Mt Washington

Always nice when that happens

I surpassed myself again today... 320 cals burned!

Was going to walk back home from the gym too, but part way my legs decided enough was enough so bussed the rest of the way.

Yesterday a co-worker asked me if I had been working out.

Yes, I have been working out. It was nice to have someone see the results.

Thirty minutes on the exercise bike - 499 calories. Been off it a while due to warning signs from my knees. See how this goes.

Wore pants today that I haven't worn in a while. Last time I didn't need a belt. Today I could pull them away from my waist and have 3 inches of space. The weight loss is the result of being sick, but I don't seem to have gained any of it back.

Don't worry, Cat, I killed my workout calories burned by making fried fish and french fries for dinner. Bonus points cuz I like to dip my fries in mayo. Mmm...grease.

Was planning in an hour hike+hour at the gym for about 750 cals

Ended up liking being outside too much....did a 2 hours hike for about 540 cals

"killed" it by eating taco bell and drinking some mike lights....oh well....I am still under

Another bike ride, but shorter today. And more leisurely. 3.7 miles in 30 minutes, 383 calories burned.

I think I need to soak in the tub tonight. My legs are kind of sore, yes, but my poor booty is quite unhappy.

[Cat]

Meh, it happens.....after work-out "splurges" are my catnip.....I cannot resist

[Cazzi]

Ha! I waited til after my chicken & fruit lunch & still managed to demolish 4 cookies instead of the one!

That's that 300 cals back again then

[Cat]

Ha, an awesome and deserved reward!!!

Was a milestone day for me today

Still feeling pulled down & sore even after not doing much more than gentle strolling while I was away so got to gym feeling not at all like getting stuck in
Could only manage 6 mins on lvl one on the xtrainer, but then did much better on the treadmill, surprised myself on the bike AND the windjammer & ended up with my very first 300 cal workout

I didn't push it too hard, used the bike at a level lower than I have been doing & used alternating brisk walks & slower but steeper walking on the treadmill.

I'm pleased with myself today & am going to reward myself with a nice triple choc chip gluten free cookie

Just a lunch walk yesterday, since I was getting ready for ST Pats (which turned out not be as fun as I hoped)

But today I am working from home, so no commute!! Will hike AND hit the gym
