I went to the weight room every day after school this week c:
I also had dance on Wednesday for 3 hours and today for 5, I think I'm getting back into my old exercise habits nicely.

Yeah, I am game. I started talking to this girl, so we will see if she wants to go for a late night stroll on the Wakiki beach.

I have an 8 mile run later today and I'm building up for a triple half-marathon the first of February.  I'm going 13 miles on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.  The back-to-back-to-back should take under two hours each day and I'm not going to burn energy this week since it's only two weeks away.  I'm a bit regimented and I'm not going to break training.

It's a great idea.  I hope everyone else enjoys it.  I hope everyone also enjoys a nice, brisk, 20 minute walk every day.  That'd be very good.

It seems like a lot of you haven't read my suggestion....
Either that, or I'm not getting very clear answers from you.  LOL

Singelli : I read it! I'm a good kid!

I'll update so this isn't spam.

I've been having trouble getting motivated to get those pesky pushups done, as well as the situps. This is partly because we really don't have a good place to do them, and partly because I'm not motivated enough. Anyway, I start roller hockey tonight, so that'll be an hour of hard work. 2 nights a week, one hour each night. That'll help alot.

Hey how come I didn't get summoned to this contest? I would have taken some great pictures this weekend. Since I live in Chicago finding cool architecture in the city is easy ;-)

I don't think anyone saw any of my suggestions oh well lol.

How's everyone doing with their diets/exercise?

Jordanv78 :   I saw them!  I just didn't know you wanted to officially participate, since you only offered advice without saying you wanted to be a part of this thread.  I'd love it if you'd participate in this thread and in this competition on Saturday. 

Won't you please?

Singelli : haha I'm sorry I was just honestly giving you a hard time. Really though I would love to participate.

I have been in the same boat where one let's real life get in the way of a healthy lifestyle.

I will totally remember to take some great pictures sometime this week and post them here.

Thanks for the invite!

Monday... hell of a practice. Leg is still giving promblems and now with shin splints... ohhh. Ran around the park.. again hating the hills... and my leg gave out... 13:12 was my time for 2 miles. Lastly, been too lazy doing upper body. Hope I do not get atrophy.

The wind out here is making it hard to do any Running.
Thankfully I sometimes Run in my Garage. (Just Re-park the car and off you go.)
Last Night I did a full P.T. (Again... sigh..)
Chin-ups 13.
Push-ups 60.
Sit-ups 60.
2 miles in 16 minutes.

Arm Clap Exercises in between (I don't count those I just check the clock to see if two minutes have passed (Bare Minimum. Sometimes I go Four minutes.)

After a five minute smoke break I grab the arm weights and do 50 Curls and 50 bench-dips (Set weights on lap for bench dips. If you can get them on the shoulders... do so it works better. The weight vest works well to do this but I need a change up and a better work ethic for my legs. Even if its just balancing weights on them while I work the arms.)
I would have done some incline skull crushers but the weather is making me tired. Ill have to make up and do a full Upper-body Blitz and finish on the 80-lbs Bag in a day or so.

Food Fans??? I ate Red Meat and Veggies, Rice, Noodles, and Pizza for dinners Again. Eggs and veggies with Coffee in the mornings. Lunch was riddled with Ramen Noodles, Hot Dogs, and Celery Sticks. Fluids?? Water like three quarters of a gallon a day, 2 glasses of milk a day, 3 cups of coffee and one soda a day.

Don't Ask When I sleep. It's a mystery to even me.

Good Luck To All.
I'm Done. Stick A Fork In Me.
Peace.

Been inactive due to the shin splints... I can still feel the effects of the the pain. Anyway, Hell week, mostly we ran around the park and god dang it, whats worse is that we have to make a transition from cement to grass, causing my shin splints (always had trouble running in concrete) So, yeah, still trying to make a commitment to get my leg back up to ninety percent (lets face it, it will never be 100%, never) and I will not give up. Laslty, loss 3 pounds but gained 7 due to pizza party or "soccer meeting" last night. Not that bad but also not that good, average I may say????

Still can not do anything until the 29th because of my toe. It feels a heck of a lot better, so I might do a light jog on my time later without my Sergeants knowing. Would not want to get in trouble.

So I did actually go on a two hour walk today, though I'll have to disqualify myself from my own competition because I couldn't convince my husband to go with me.  *pouts*

And since I think mrfe might have been the only one to participate, I guess that makes him the automatic winner.  LOL
I would have summoned everyone to remind them of course, but.... *coughs* site maintenance!!! *coughs*

I DID take some pictures though if you all want to see them.  ^.^  And I'd still like to see your pictures mrfe.

Yep, today was the first day in awhile that I had done my exercises.  Let me tell you this... it feels GREAT.  After the two weeks I just had, I couldn't be happier about getting back into the run of things.  I haven't done all the exercises yet though, so I'll post them later when I've done them all...

I think I'll take a stab at another competition like this though.  It didn't seem like many of you were interested, but I might post it in its own thread somewhere if you guys want to give it a shot.

Mia03 :
Congratulations!  That is GREAT!  I know how life can get in the way, and I've been a prime example recently.  Keep at it!

Singelli :    Thanks. I wanted to for awhile, but I couldn't get into it. My Spanish teacher said she lost 10lbs and that got me thinking about it. Except after that her hair dryer caught on fire and the projector in her class room broke. It was a pretty bad week for her last week.

I wasn't thinking and deleted my records today. Well I can still report the progress.
I have officially managed to get back to the same weight as I was before it all went south before. Best shape I've been in since...well since as far back as I can remember. Lol Still nowhere near my goals, but well on my way. Current weight 163. Body fat %: 18.47%. Goal: 14%. Like I said, not close yet, but making good progress.

Singelli : If you don't mind, I'll have to upload them tomorrow. I don't have access to any kind of good internet right now.

Late NIGHT JOGGING around 4 a.m. Felt great until I stepped on a pothole on my bad leg (pain was intense) and I was in the ghetto so I just walked away hoping nothing bad happens to me.

My purpose so far for now is to at least run 2 miles in 12 minutes.... Tough, nearly impossible but I am ready.

All right, here's the photo. I'm really not sure if this upload will work, but I'll try!






Image upload: 640x480 totaling 37 KB's.

Wow...... That is soooo pretty!  You live on a lake?!?! I'm going to have to try so hard not to be jealous! 

I took about 20 photos myself, but I think I'm going to stick with this one:


As for my exercise, I only managed the two hour walk due to power issues.
Will do better today, I promise!  I have time set aside and everything, and I'm looking forward to getting back into the run of things.  I went ahead and measured myself... I'm surprised to see that I haven't gained much weight over the past two or three weeks of no exercise and gorging on fast food.

Time to burn it off!
