Where are you, my fitness ladies?

Not good Angie. Just not good.

 

I mean my fitness... not yours! Yours is amazing as usual!

 

Terrible, I can't seem to get motivated, I think I need to sign up for a 10k or something... I've already got the winter funk going on here and it hasn't even started yet... I think because my boys have been sick all fall it seems, sigh... I really should get up early and do a video or something just to help me focus the rest of the day... I need a good swift kick in the butt!!!

 

Awesome job at swimming Angie!

Heather I totally know how you are feeling. My girls have been sick a lot too and severely dampers my mood.

Two more days and I'm cleared to exercise! Yay!

 

Oh I've completely sucked it up. Haven't even started my couch to 5k. I need to find a new time to run because my old time is clearly not working.

 

Nice Angie! I just started JM's Shred yesterday, and now my butt hurts. So yay!

I did find something called Speed Shred while I was reading my Women's Health magazine the other day. Looked it up and it looks like something I might do. You only have to do it 30min./day for 3 days/week.

 

Okay, it's not my usual 30 day shred, but I walked two miles today. It's a start. My knees have been really hurting lately after doing Jillian. I think I'm doing the moves correctly and not letting my knee go forward over my toes, but holy cow! Ouchy! Perhaps I'm just getting old? NO!!!!!

 

Fitness?? What fitness?? I was all gangbusters... then the hip thing. Now a pinched nerve in my neck. Ugh! Getting old stinks.

Awesome job on the swimming!! I so wish I could find a pool!

On the bright side, a new gym is opening up in the nearby town where my kids go to school - so I might possibly go check it out when it officially opens and I could see myself driving the kids to school so I could go work out. Already talked to hubby about getting a membership... the last gym we joined closed after only 6 months. So he's hesitant unless they have a month-by-month plan.

 

Thanksgiving week was not a good one for me, but this week I'm back on track. So far I've been to the gym 3 days this week. I'm working on week 3 of the C25K.

 

I still cannot run on my foot - but I have started back with Jillian Michaels. I did 30 day shred, workout 1, two days in a row and I am sore.

 

ohhhhh boy it´s so hot here... but i still going to gym and my favorite time there is body combat!

 

started back with my running routine last week...felt great!

 

I've decided that part of my December Daily is to workout 6 days a week, whether it's going for a run or doing a Jillian workout... I'm evening writing into my Christmas Manifesto for Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas

 

My motivation flushed down the toilet a few weeks back. I started going again, but with the current interruptions and kids in the house during Thanksgiving week, I got seriously sidetracked. I started Level 3 of the 30DS, and suffered for not doing it consistently. I think I've also been getting bored doing the same thing constantly. So I bought some cheap TaeBo DVDs and plan on moving to those, too. I like JM, but I like variety, too.

 

I actually did my first 10km run yesterday in Melbourne. It was along a beach road and nice and flat and there were about 2000+ ladies running in it to aid raising money for breast cancer. The longest I've run in recent years is 7kms, so finishing the 10kms was a big achievement. I didn't run the whole way as my left leg kept going numb from the knee down so I had to stop now and again as it was just like I had a brick tied to my foot. Need to go get it checked out by an ortho but I made it and all I can do now is try and better my very slow time LOL! I'm running about 7.5min/km.

 

Things are going pretty good for me. . . I've been taking a Boot Camp class at my gym, it's keeping me on track!

 

For the past 2 days I have been doing the "1000" workout - or some modification thereof. You can check it out here:

I am sore today - especially my backside.

 

I have this big mental block about exercise right now. I have this horrible sense of loathing about it. LOL I got for a 2-4 hr hike once a week, but that obviously isn't enough. One thing I have started this week, and it might seem a little silly...but I exercise for 10 mins everyday well cooking dinner. I do lunges, girly push-ups, squats, and even keep a set of weights in the kitchen well things are simmering, or in the oven. I look like a weirdo, but I am accomplishing something. The bonus is I don't burn dinner as much as when I go off to check my email/facebook instead.

 

You´re amazing Angie!!
I still do workout 3x a week - usually once Freestyler(at gym with instructor http://freestyler.net/ ) and twice Zumba. In winter weather I don´t want to go running...Little lazy, ooosss
