The getting back in shape thread

[iradney]

Less than a month to go to my fun run (5 kms woot!). TTO has agreed to join me, and he's actually gonna RUN it I'm starting to run a bit when I walk the pooch, but I dunno if I'll be able to keep up with him...

I just did 3 laps/loops around a lake, on my bike.

3 X 1.2mi = 3.6 mi PLUS the distance to and from lake...almost 5 miles yesterday.

Go me!

Wii Fit age 34. Lost the extra weight I put on last week, now to lose the last half a kilo to this fortnight's goal.

[Cat]

consumed about 1400 cals......though I think my soup was off (no way it was 800 cals!)

Walked/hiked for a total of 2.5 hours (7 miles)


feeling good....will weigh myself tomorrow


edit: 1200 cals eaten....I did figure out the soup wrong, ha ha

More wallking.....about 2.5 hours total, 7 miles.


Good thing I went out today, supposed to rain tomorrow. rather not hit the gym (I am out of movies to watch, lol)

Another morning bike ride. So humid out though, and it started thundering, so I had to cut it down. 2.5 miles in 21 minutes, burned 271 calories. Not too shabby, I don't think. If I'd actually gone the hour I had planned, I could've burned anywhere from 800-1000 calories.

Wow. I really, really really hope when I weigh in this Friday I'll have finally broken the 20 lb mark. <Crosses fingers>

WOOT! Wish I was coordinated to ride a bike, I'm a klutz!

Here's hoping the weather is good for all of us!

I'm a klutz, too, and I have my wobbly moments, I won't lie. just this morning, turning a corner I almost ran into one of those big silver box/unit things that control the traffic lights.



But strangely, after the first few rounds, I've found my klutziness decreasing, once I get into the rhythm. My coordination has improved a bit, too, in that I haven't had a klutz moment at work the last couple weeks <knock on wood.>

[Cat]

I was alwyas a terrible cyclist...though I kinda what to get a new bike and hit the trails (I'm too terrified to go on a road)

Ohh....now I want to hike after work....rain rain go away!

[calulu]

Not losing much weight but I am currently up to a hundred pounds on all the weight machines at the gym. I'm getting muscly as hell..

[Cat]

Wooo!! I need to do more weight as well....me arms are rather flabby....I look like I'm gonna fly off ;-)

Thought I wasn't going to get my walks in, but I did at work..2.5 miles (about 1 hr) before the rain hit, and another 4.5 after work...found some new trails to explore

might do another weigh-in tomorrow

[Cat]

Dropped 1.1 pounds since Tues Walk/hiked for 6.5 miles yesterday (thank you rain gods for holding off....I'll sacrifice something to ya)

Now I'm trying to force myself to get outside and hike more, its a day off and those always make me lazy.....and I have to run errands and chores before the boy and I head to Rhode Island for the weekend

Here, have one of my customers (gives Cat her most annoying whingy customer). Thanks

And well done! That is super - hey, wanna borrow my dog? He's awesome for walking with

[Cat]

Ya know, my boss/friend keeps telling me I need a dog, and every time I hike I am jealous of the dog hikers.....the 2 things keeping from doggie ownership is I'm not home during the day, and my cats will kill me.

Been thing if (when) I get my 3rd kitty, I want one I can leash train
