Well, I have walked the last couple of days - though not far enough yesterday, and not fast enough today, as I went for a walk after lunch, and my lunch companion came also - a slooooooooooow walker! it seems rude to forge way ahead, so I wenr ahead a bit, then walked back.
Tomorrow the world!
C'mom Gautam!!!!
I meant to go for a run after work last night but at 6pm I was called into a meeting, which lasted until 7:20, so I had to rush home to get there in time to meet S...and didn't have time.
I have brought my running kit to work today, so at least I'm prepared to do that when I have a moment. Lunchtime would be great, as it's a beautifully sunny day!
Also - I was v. naughty this morning and had an egg and bacon roll for breakfast. The fact that I drank a SKINNY latte with that is almost irrelevant, given the fat in that roll. Must make up for that later.
I've lost another pound. Twenty five gone, thirty five to go.
Way to go Noddy24 !! <applause>
Thanks, Gautham. I'll dedicate the next vanished pound to you (although I will "give" it to a personified part of my past that I'm better off without).
good for you Noddy!
I still haven't become unsore enough to excerize the bottom half, maybe I'll do the upper half tonight.
oh... HIAMA, Biofreeze is a deep freezy heat rub based on the holy plant. It's greasless and stainless (even though it comes out greenish blue) and it says it has a vanishing scent - it does vanish, but not for some time. You can order it (it's expensive - was a gift) at
www.biofreeze.com

Thanks for the kind words. Perhaps if you do only a few provocative exercises with your nether region that would help to loosen them up?
And if not, you're still ahead a few provocative exercises.....
Go! Go Go Girl.
my nether regions are fine, thankyouverymuch. it's my calves and the fronts of my thighs that are sore. So, sit-ups, arm excersizes, maybe some weight-lifting. At the very least, I should do some yoga to loosen up my legs.

As a nanny you know better than to neglect a fractious party just because the fractious party is Not Nice to Know. Move your legs just a bit and explain that swim suit season is coming.
Noddy - damn, you're tough. And you have that pop-gun. I did a little leg stretching while the tiny tot was asleep. But, since it's about 60 degrees in this house (and there's a draught), I figured I wouldn't push too hard, lest something should snap.
Noddy,
Well done, my target is to lose 50 pounds, after week one I have lost 2 pounds and feel great, having done 5 gym sessions now.
Today did 20 minutes of weights, then 5000m on the rower in best time by a minute.
Tomorrow is designated as a run day- 5 miles, however the forecast is bad so I am going to do it on the treaadmill-imagine that 5 miles on the treadmill and you'll know I have lost my senses.
Gautam, this is your leader get back on track or else I'll set the wabbit on ya
KP- keep the running going man, you know it makes sense
Little k-thanks for explaining and for the link
Debs-my tall australian beauty-keep up the walking-its great for the libido-whatever that is

I practice all my little pep talks on myself--and sometimes I can ignore them. Sixty degrees? Yes, something might snap. Spring will come soon...or so I've heard.
I've come home, raised the heat to 68 here. I can walk normally now, but still have a hard time going down stairs (I can NOT believe this....). I'll do a little warm up aerobic thing and then some yoga later tonight after I've digested my dinner.
I excersized to the pilates tape tonight after a brief warm-up on the excersize bike. About 1.5 hours all-in-all.
i did the belly dancing thing and the yoga workout. i think i will feel my calves tomorrow, too, although the yoga helped. 30 + 45 mins. the stoopid snow is getting boring, i want to go out and jog! to the B-side lounge, and back, my regular route. arrrrgh. must repeat to myself: i like the four seasons kind of a weather, i like.... nah, doesn't work today. hhhhHHHOT TUB would. will tak a bath instead.
who'd have thought that silly belly dance tape would mess up our calves so bad....?
I'm joining in here. Weight in day is tommorrow morning. I'll report back.

I quickly slipped out of my office before anybody could catch me, went home, had a cup of tea (yeah TEA !!!) and went straight to the gym.
30 mins on the bike (yipeee)
20 mins on the elliptical trainer (Yipeee)
and some weights - I dont use free weights right now though.
My trainer has suggested that I should look for some excercises at home itself for times when I am unable to come to the gym for any reason. So I have just now placed an order for an excercise bike for my home.
I find a diet high in Ephedrine an effective weight loss tool. Lots of walking, resisting the temptation of eating greasy foods whever passing a bain marie, and doing a lot of meditation.
