The getting back in shape thread

[ArcticChicken]

Once again rejoining this thread. My boyfriend and I are trying to get in shape together, on the theory that sex is more fun when you're fit, so it's much more likely to actually stick this time.

Today I did a workout I found online, and boy am I wiped. I had to modify every move, and I couldn't even do some of them, due to the fact that my knees refuse to hold my weight in a crouch.

I feel great, though, if a bit wobbly.


Arrgh, I gotta go stretch and catch a quick shower before work, probably should have left myself more recovery time, but I didn't want to put it off another day.

Stil can't work out as much as I'd like, but I am still counting calories (and afraid I am getting too obsessed with it...I always have my iPod touch on me, using my app...meh....)

Though I did have to hit Goodwill to buy new clothes....and I fit into such small pants

And I had to buy new undies and bras today...weeee!

Big challenge this weekend....the Big E! We're going for 2 days....lots of fried veggies, and my first pint o' booze in 1 month!

I went and signed up with a personal trainer. My first appointment was last weekend and it didn't go well, I had no idea how badly I've been exercising. The way I was doing things I've probably done more harm than good.

My back is still pretty sore, but I did about 1/2 an hour on the treadmill at 2.5 mph.

Tomorrow I'm going to a baseball game so I will not be going to the gym.

Not been on bike since Monday, but I did work a twelve-hour shift yesterday, all in the warehouse. Yay.

Not sure what that counts for, but my feet hate me now.

Interesting....I believe I have plateued. Just to see if I could, I shot for 2 pounds more to lose (with the knowledge they will come back this weekend) and I can't. Oh well.....I am at my weight

TIme to tone!

Odd - despite not eating overly well, and not exercising as much as I should (definitely some overtime in the warehouse, mind), I'm still on 17st 0lbs. Suspect some dehydration in there, since I've been hitting the teabags like you wouldn't believe.

Finally got up early enough and went for a bike ride. 36 minutes, 338 calories. Haven't been out in so long, that it was a lot more strenous than I remember! I had planned on doing an hour, but think I need to build myself back up to that. Either way, glad I got back into the groove, if you will. Must must must continue the trend!

[lupo pazzesco]

Two days in a row, I got up and exercised! Yay! Did level 1 on the Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD. Warm up and cool down included, I managed 31.5 minutes, 389 calories burned.

And now I stagger off for the shower and to get ready for work. Yaaaay...

I suppose I should start posting on here again...

I have held the weight off that I lost for my medical and lost another 5lbs on top of that.

Im setting a new goal of 20lbs by christmas. That way if I gain 3-4 lbs over December I won't be setting myself back too much.

Apparently, even though I haven't been exercising since before Dragon*Con, my weight loss is noticeable. I got a few mentions of it last night at work. Always a good feeling when that happens.

I'm going to start the schedule up again tomorrow morning, and I'm going to go grocery shopping so I have real food in the house and I don't start munching sweets.

[BookstoreEscapee]

I've been very inconsistent...and tomorrow I'm going to have to go after work and pick up my car (which hopefully will not cost me an arm and a leg), and Wednesday I'm going to PA to see some friends (and meet my friend's new baby). Sigh.

[lupo pazzesco]

Another day, another workout DVD.

32 minutes, 412 calories burned.

Ow. but in a good way...

[Cat]

Did good yesterday, while at the fair I did allow myself treats, but with all the walking, I didn't gain an ounce. And my friend whom I haven't seen in a few weeks complimented me on my loss ( I think it was a compliment, she said I was skinny)

[Rapscallion]

Thirty minutes, 528 calories. Ouch. Not been on in a week.

Ouch.
