The getting back in shape thread

[Cazzi]

I missed the gym yesterday as this pain flareup is pulling me down & I really wanted to be fit for travelling.
Today I've done a bit of walking... spent about 90 mins slowly wandering around the national gallery & then a bit longer walking through the theatre area of London before I gavre up & caught the tube back to my friends place for a nice soak in the bath

Tomorrow or sunday will be another walking day so fingers crossed this flareup starts to wear off

Knees are really giving it some despite me not having been doing anything really strenuous since Monday last week. Suspect standing around at Silverstone didn't help, but...

Completely slacked off this week....but am going back to the gym tomorrow.

I totally slacked off last week, too. Getting back on the ball today.

I'm back in the (bike!) saddle again!! the weather is having a streak of pure, sunny wonderfulness! So, since it's Spring Break, and even though I have to work, I decided to go bike riding as often as I can this week. So, I hopped on my bike for the first time in months!!

I managed to break a new record, too! 5.58 miles in 45 minutes! That's new for me, and pretty good! My legs are kind of rubbery and my butt's a little sore, but I feel kinda good. Sadly, now I must study for all the exams I have AFTER Spring Break is over, and go shower since I do have to get up super early for work. Yay. Inventory...

ETA: 45 minute,s 621 calories burned. Woot!

Sad Jenni. The gym is apparently closed for Spring Break.

Call me CatSlug I was feeling still drained after PI day (I drank for the first time in a month) so I skipped the gym.

I *did* clean and vacuum, so that is something at least

[Evil Queen]

I skipped the gym today too. If only because it was cold and rainy and I normally walk to the gym. I dunno if they're going to be closed this week or not, since it's a college gym and it's spring break. I'll check tomorrow, if I can tear myself away from a borrowed xbox and my new game.

135 cals gone during lunchwalk, 560 burned at the gym 1800 consumed.

[Evil Queen]

Well, the gym I normally go to is closed because it's spring break. I'll start going again next monday.

[lupo pazzesco]

Another beautiful day for a bike ride. went 7 miles today, in 50 minutes, burned 694 calories.

I feel goooood!!!

[Cat]

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

[Cazzi]

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

[Cat]

Ha, an awesome and deserved reward!!!

[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
