I forgot to mention this on your earlier post but......

YAY YOU!!!!

Congrats on losing the weight, may this be only the start for wonderfulness for you!

My next objective is to get a pedometer, so I can monitor my incidental exercise and walking. Dude, I have one of those things and I wore it to work a couple of times. I was walking nearly 20km a day. Freaked me out.

Ok, I was trying to quote there, but it didn't work. HTML tags hate me.

I usually just do italics. (I stick with the tags I know!)

Thanks!

WHOA! No wonder you're exhausted at the end of the day!

No way do I walk that much. But I have been trying to add other steps in. For instance, unless I'm in a time crunch or really have to go, I make myself climb a couple flights of stairs to use the bathrooms on another floor.

WORD.
Would that I maintained a healthy diet bc you do feel SO MUCH BETTER.

bostonben September 20 2005, 17:41:12 UTC

Hee. Um, I actually felt awesome when I was anorexic, so that can't always be a good thing. I felt all pure and clean. And my stomach never hurt.

Gyms have their place. I love them for classes to stop from running too much. I LOVE the fun classes - hip hop, funk, etc.- and will suffer through something like bootcamp/advanced toning once a week to balance out the faux-lifting I do other days. If you have bad knees/shin splints I would suggest starting with a trainer to do a weight routine for a month before starting fun classes, cause the knees get worked.

Obviously I'm a work-out whore. I'm so addicted & spun to it, but I also ran my first 5K at 7 so it's not my fault.

I just got into swimming in the last 2 years (though my gym in NYC doesn't have it.) It's so fucking hard, and I miss having music, and it makes my skin/eyes/hair burn, but afterwards there is no pain like with running. And it makes your shoulders look so good.

I personally find yoga overrated - once a week tops (bc I get bored with 'meditation' crap)- and pilates easy unless you have perfect form. (I don't.)

I'm working on the eliptical/stair machines and upright bikes for my aerobic workout right now. I also do the various weight machines to build muscle strength in my upper and lower body. (I had a trainer set me up on them all to make sure I did it right.)

I can't wait to be able to get to do the fun classes. But I'm going to get myself into better condition first, so I can fully participate and I don't injure anything.
