Happy Birthday Freya!
Happy birthday to my favorite spoon-wielding friend up north freya46! -
hmmm...
So, still doing the gym thing, amazingly I can now do a 10 minute mile on the elliptical (not the road or the treadmill). Breathing is good, I don't feel like I'm wheezing, heart rate is in a perfect zone. Running on the road/treadmill? I'm lucky if I can run for 2 minutes at about 4.5 miles/hour. Weight still isn't moving much, but the fat is now ( Read more... ) -
Whoa. Time flies.
But in the last year, I have held onto my job, gained weight, began to lose the weight, found new allergies (oh yay), forced to change the diet (which I had been doing a little at a time, not so much anymore), still in a relationship with Gary, and such a slew of other little things ( Read more... ) -
Whoa been a little bit of time
But. I've attained employment. That has eaten into my ability to hit the gym, because someone else thinks I'm avoiding them. Ummmm....what??? Oh, and now that I'm up at 6 am, I go to bed earlier. Her thoughts? See earlier comment ( Read more... ) -
Gym, life, and changes
So I TRY to hit the gym M-F, but the last couple of weeks has been tough with a sinus/ear infection, babysitting the youngest granddaughter, and tomorrow a 9 am doctor's appt with the podiatrist. Most all of the weights are up to either 2 reps x 12, but my triceps are having none of this crap and holding me to 1 set on the arm extension, overhead ( Read more... ) -
Fitness, life and stuff....
So I'm now two weeks into my gym membership, and doing the weight machines is pretty cool stuff, two machines are only at 25 pounds (triceps because of some damage and torso rotation because of sciatic nerves), but all of them so far this week have been two sets of 12!! Go me!! No weight loss yet, but I don't expect any for another 2-3 weeks as my ( Read more... ) -
fitness, calligraphy and ptsd
Fitness and diet have rendered me under 200!! *happypagandance* Clothes are definitely looser, so went out and bought 36 waist in men's jeans. One pair is snug, but I can sit in them so they are probably more like a 36 3/4. The other two are closer to 36 and while I can get them buttoned, don't ask me to do much of anything else. Also realized that ( Read more... ) -
weight, babies, fun
Weight has gone down again, youngest granddaughter spent the night Friday and gave grampa and I a run for our money at 3 am when she decided she wanted in bed with us. By 6 am she managed to boot both of us out of the king size bed *laugh* little creep ( Read more... ) -
Tiny weight gain, but....again....
This time the tape measure went DOWN an inch on hips, belly and chest. Strength is up a little, endurance is better ( Read more... ) -
Tiny weight gain, but....
It's matched with increased strength exercises, and walking, and dancing. Today I managed 10 pushups on the countertop, which I believe put me at something of a 45ish degree angle. Arms certainly felt the strain, but I didn't overdo it. Steady speed on walking, so all is good there ( Read more... )
