Survivor: Castaway Cay

[PoohsPal]

OK, here's another challenge to try to make life interesting.

We're going to start easy. Sign up and exercise for 30 minutes (of anything: walking, running, aerobices, those dance video games (DDR?)...) 3 times a week. A week goes from Sunday to Saturday (just to keep us all on the same schedule). Do that, and you'll stay on the island.

After a bit, Lisa and I (or anyone else who has ideas to suggest) will add weekly challenges to keep things interesting. As we continue to keep going, we will continually add to make things interesting. However, I'd really like everyone to start. I'd love to see everyone get in the at least 3 times a week habit to make a differnce in your life.

We'll start March 1 and go until we have one survivor. The first week, we'll only need to do 2 days, as we will start on a Wednesday.

Thanks Carrie!

[withdisneyspirit]

And of course, I'm in too! I really can't wait!:blueflowe

[DarthGoofy]

That sounds good. You can count me in.

[DSNY FN]

sign me up for this one please.

[Rozzie]

okay, sign me up. It's time to get my fat butt of the computer chair.:thumbsup:

[matysgranma]

Sounds like a plan to me. Count me in!

[Disneymooners93]

Add me to the crew. :)

[Lisa]

OK. I'm ready to join. Ready to start acting (in the hopes of being) healthier. I'll need to start a little slow but will keep it aerobic. I don't know how I got to this point ...OK maybe I do... :bagovermy

..after my trip of course! All bets are off until the plane touch down back home!

[lllovell]

Count me in! I have to do SOMETHING to get my butt moving!

[Colorado Belle]

Oh this sounds like a fun idea!
I'm in.
And you are pretty sure that the prize is 6000 DVC points, right?
Tony? Tony? Froggie?

So....What Disney ISLAND are we on for this particular Survivor's Show?

[nono]

Treasure Island? :thumbsup:

[PoohsPal]

I think DIscovery in it's current conditions is more like teh show, but we want to inspire ourselves, right? Pleasure Island sounds better, but in name nly, no treally a great place to inspire exercise. I think I'll Go with nono's tTreasure Island. Wait.. .hold that thought. How about Cataway Cay. Now there's a place I hear you do not want to get kicked oof of! (Then again, we could not dock on our cruise, so I wouldn't know.)

I'm definitely ready for this!!! I plan to have staying power as long as nobody votes me off the island:tsktsk: :goodvibes

By the way, Carrie, I know you did great on that list; there was just one small typo in my name:sosad: :hahahaha:

[PoohsPal]

Somehow I missed some posts when I updated teh list, my exploreer did freeze during the process will that excuse it?

I have chimera and I corrected out little "spirt" problem. :tongue: I swear Lisa, it took me several minitues to figure out what I did wrong. My eyes read what they though my fingers typed! :crazy:

I'm back from our trip and definately ready for this... what ever it is! ...what did I sign up for? This may be just what I need. Coming back to the snow and permacloud that covers Rochester half the year was a bit depressing. :(

I'm back from our trip and definately ready for this... what ever it is! ...what did I sign up for? This may be just what I need.

Are we getting excited????:clappingh

[withdisneyspirit]

Wow! We have great participation...can't wait!!!:goodvibes

[lllovell]

I am hoping that NO ONE gets "voted off"! That would be so cool, if we all found ourselves in much better shape/health by summer! (ok - some of you I KNOW already work out regularly so you are already in good shape - but some of us don't! :scary: )

I did stop this morning and get one last "bad" breakfast knowing that tomorrow I am going to get back on a better eating plan as well!

I am stoked. :clappingh

Laura

[AmyBeth68]

:woohoo: I'm very excited to do this challenge. Last month's challenge helped keep me focused so I'm thrilled to be doing another one.

And....:doublekis THANKS Carrie for organizing this one. You rock girl!:rockband:

How appropo the timing is! Many are celebrating Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday and tomorrow is the start of being good!:hyper: :D

[PoohsPal]

OK, not likely to be a work out for me today, but who's going to get the first mark by their name for completing a work out. If possible, it's be great if you could post after every work out so we can keep on top of how everyone's doing. Happy March everyone!!!!!

[withdisneyspirit]

Well, I might be first! I completed my workout for today:jumpingbe

Happy Humpday, everyone!

ETA: 50 minutes, 45 on the tread and a five minute stretch :)

I ran 3 miles at 1:30 am, so I guess it was March. :o

[lllovell]

What the heck were you doing running at 1:30 a.m.???

I am going to participate, but I bet I will get "voted off" the week we go to WDW soon. I refuse to take vacation time to exercise when we walk pretty much all day. Not for purely selfish reasons, but recognizing that we all vacation often to WDW, should we "forgive" those weeks since there is so much walking involved?

Opinions everyone please.

Laura

[Disneymooners93]

40 minutes on the weight bench!! :thumbsup:

[Rozzie]

30 min of mostly walking with sprints of running.

Walking counts!! :headscrat Now, let's see... How much is it walking from lunch at Beaches and Cream to afternoon "tea" :ale: at Rose and Crown to dinner at Alfredo? :scratchch I guess the brews at R&C and pasta at Alfredo's would just be carb loading for the next's day's busy exercise schedule. :thumbsup:

As for WDW trips. Nope, no "Immunity clause" for being at WDW. However, look at your watch. Although I'd like to see continuous, I have heard that 3 10 minutes walks is as good for you as 1 - 30 minute walk. (Still not sure I believe it, but exercise is exercise.) So, just make sure you have walked fro 20 minutes during the day. I'd have a hard time believing you could go a day at WDW without walking that far.

[nono]

What the heck were you doing running at 1:30 a.m.???

I had been ramping up, in the 20ish range, so hopefully 30 wasn't too much of a push for my joints. I was so close I wanted to finish it all on the treadmill.

[Disneymooners93]

Did 40 minutes on the treadmill.

[Rozzie]

LOL Carrie, didn't know if you were going have to monitor the challenge via teleport from a raft off the island.....:laughing:

[PoohsPal]

Yes, I'd be monitoring from :sailing:

I'm sure at some point, when we increase difficulty, that's where i'll be. ;)

[AmyBeth68]

I did 40 minutes today. 30 on ski machine plus stretching and abs :D .

[PoohsPal]

OK run felt codl tonight. Thermometer did not say so, but eyes were watering, hands did nto warm up and lungs hurt. DH suggested that perhaps we only do 30 minutes tonight. As he said teh magic number, I said go for it. I've put my legs through a lot this week and will do 6 or 8 Saturday, so I'm not overly concerned.

1.5 hr walk yesterday through Central Park (it was slow as 2 yr old's legs are pretty short). "Walk" is her new favorite word!

I hesitate to post this as Carrie may give me the :tsktsk: for running at 1:30 am and then 12 hrs later starting on this jaunt around the park, but let's just say it was a delayed cool down from the run. :Pssst:

[PoohsPal]

Personally, I think you are a great motivator! :tunes:

[withdisneyspirit]

53 minute workout here:howudoin: 31 minute tread incline workout with 22 minutes focused on ab work!

[DarthGoofy]

45 minutes on the weights

[nono]

25 minute yoga session. Ahhhhhhhhh......

[lllovell]

30 minutes pounding on the treadmill last night. I think it is time to go shopping for a new one as mine isn't sounding so good. I am sure it didnt have anything to do with the Lego I found inside the motor compartment. :scary:

btw- the pounding WAS walking lol I just heard a noise while walking and after I got done investigated and found said Lego. Nothing was damaged. :)

Laura

[AmyBeth68]

I'm in for 55 minutes today. Running, walking, stretching and abs! :thumbsup:

[chimera]

30 min walking on the dreadmill today

[lllovell]

30 min walking on the dreadmill today

I like that name! lol Mine is in my living room (lovely decor I might add) so at least I can watch the news or talk to the kids, etc while walking. But still! ugh!

[cobbler]

I'm here! I'm here! (Waving hand while jumping up an down).

I got one 45 minute workout in so far. Did that on Thursday. I have another 30 minute (maybe 40) scheduled today. I want a Donald next to my name :) (Well I know not yet as I didn't earn it but I will ;) )

[Lisa]

Clarification from the Judge Please!

When does the week end??? Sat or Sunday? :innocent:

[matysgranma]

I didn't realize I had to reply after every workout. I work out every day, 25 minutes of aerobics, 20-30 minutes on treadmill, then add weights 3 times this week.
Now I know I have to let you know everything I've done on a daily basis. Sorry. YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM ME!!!!!:veryconfu

[Lisa]

Got the second one in. 32 min interval jogging/ aerobic walking on the treadmill. I would love for it to be warm enough to walk outside (and without the sippery stuff).

[matysgranma]

Just finished 30 minutes of toning. Great feeling!

[Colorado Belle]

I just found this thread after Carrie's PM........didn't know i was supposed to be riting in. I've done my 2 30 minute sets on the treadmill and added my usual sit ups, squats and lunges. But on TV last night, they said that for the 'middle' area fat....and that is what I have....that aerobic training isn't going to dent it, that I need to use weights. I only have up to 12 lbs here, so I guess I will have to go sign up at the community gym. Maybe if I had my golden retrievor sit on me and then I do situps??????

Carrie, does the new week start on Sunday? And is that weigh in ? Sorry that my mind is mush.

[withdisneyspirit]

It's meeeee again:jumpingbe I worked out this morning, 60 minutes total! 20 on the recumbent, twenty on the tread and twenty focused mostly on pushups (did 150!:holymoly: )

Only problem is my left knee is aching very bad from the intervals I did on the tread:mad: I may have to go back to the doctor this week for an xray:headache:

[nono]

Two 25 min. yoga sessions today. Are you guys sure yoga counts as a workout? For me it is the best part of my day, any day!:loveisint

[AmyBeth68]

Lisa: GREAT workout! Way to go! 150 pushups is pretty amazing!

Nono: YES, yoga counts girl! Way to go.

Today was my rest day :dancingba . Back in the game tomorrow though!

Everyone is doing so great!!! :rockband:

[matysgranma]

allrlight, adding a 25 minute weight workout and a 25 minute brisk walk (39 degrees out there, brrrr) with DH. I'm done for the day but I'll check in tomorrow.
Pam:clappingh

[Disneymooners93]

80 minutes today - 60 on the treadmill and 20 stretching. The stretching was much needed today, as I am still recovering from the killer day to end February. Also trying to clear out a little chest cold. :yuck:

[chimera]

A little over 3 hours this morning, 13.1 miles.

[nono]

3 mi run for 44 min...

[Rozzie]

30 min walk/run yesterday

[matysgranma]

30 minute upper body toning exercises, 25 minutes on treadmill today.:clappingh

[cobbler]

Ok, I didn't make it for the week then. I thought the week ended on Sunday for some reason. I guess because mine ends on Sunday when I count it in my logs :bagovermy

So I guess I am out :(

I did workout today, 40 minutes :)

I will be chearing everyone on from my :sailing:

[AmyBeth68]

Oh Cob :( Sorry 'bout that! But hurray for you for getting your exercise in....keep on working out with us!!!!!

[withdisneyspirit]

Well, I was practically crippled Saturday and I was able to do a 50 minute workout this am:highfive: 14 miles on the recumbent and a stretch! I owe most of it to my DH who happens to be a Reiki master! He did three Reiki treatments on my injured knee this weekend and I am back in business:loveisint Since it was the weekend, the only other thing I did was take painkillers and wrap Thermacare around it for eight hours Sunday.

Happy Monday, survivor group :grouphug:

Yep really only one workout from Wednesday to Saturday.

Wednesday I cleaned my grandpa's house. It was VERY dirty, just because he can't get down and get to certain places. He will be 80 this year.

I worked out Thursday

Friday I cleaned my mom's house and ran all the errands for the week and Saturday we were all over the place running more errands :)

Good luck this week everyone!

[Rozzie]

so let me get this straight. I have a Donald, because I worked out once all ready. Correct? So I have 2 more workouts to complete? The donald means one, and the mickey means we have completed the week?:teacher:

and no, I never took the short bus to school, but should have. These things confuse me sometimes.....:scratchch

[PoohsPal]

It would be easier if I could post them all at once. Need to do some thinking....

:donald: = 1 work out

Lisa checking in with a 32 minute workout - hills on the tread at a 3 mile an hour pace. Have to take it easy still because my knee needs TLC! I'm just so happy to be able to work out.

I won't be posting Wednesday thru Friday because of my trip. Will post a workout tomorrow hopefully. I am taking my yoga mat and ankle weights on the road and also hope to get a beach walk in:fingerscr :goodvibes

I will need it since they will try to overfeed me while there!

[nono]

30 min yoga today...and another 5 wrestling with the little one as a "cool down" :hammer:

[lllovell]

35 minutes of pounding on the treadmill last night! ugh - I didn't wanna...but you guys got me up there! I really am glad I signed up for this one!

Laura

[Disneymooners93]

Did my 30 minutes on the weight bench yesterday.

Today a long run on the treadmill. One of those days that having a goal got me downstairs to run. Some how it seems the days that I am dragging before a run, end up being my better runs. :idontgeti

What's the smilie for day #3?? :hyper:

[Lisa]

30 min yoga today...and another 5 wrestling with the little one as a "cool down" :hammer:

:hahahaha:
Nono - I've tried that- yoga with kids in the room (or even when DH is supposed to be watching them!) :crazy:



To the rest of the group :bowdown: I am in awe. right now for me doing 30 min is an acheivement. I used to be much better before DD#2 and quiting work (and turning 40 ... and.....) :headscrat

I must say I think joining this group is going to work for me much better than may other tactics I've tried. I can workout at home but also have the moral support and prodding of a group that I need. Thanks Carrie!

[AmyBeth68]

Did my 50 minutes of running/abs/stretching today.

Just have to give a big shout-out to EVERYONE doing this challenge. You are all doing so great :clappingh . Keep up the good work!!!

[cobbler]

I did 35 minutes of cardio today :)

[PoohsPal]

Lisa - I was soooo where you are 2 years ago. That's why I set things up this way. I needed achievable goals and help getting there. SO glad it's working.

I did a 40-min run tonight at a 10:52 pace. Very good for the 10 extra clothing pounds I'm carrying int he winter. ;)

25 minuted treadmill, 20 minutes stretching. Thanks to everyone for giving all of us the incentive to keep at it. :cheerlead

[PoohsPal]

Gotcha' matysgranma!

[withdisneyspirit]

Okay, I made it! 30 minutes on the recumbent even though I am in a major rush to pack and leave town:highfive: I also plan on working out while there:jumpingbe

[nono]

Lisa,

That's awesome!

For me, 3 mi (42 min) this morning running. Well, I guess at that pace it should be called: jogging. :o

[lllovell]

You call it jogging...I call it running around :tunes: One of my favorite Jimmy Buffet songs!

Ok - someone come and walk with me at the park during lunch!

It is too pretty to be inside!

Sorry guys...You CANNOT put two parrotheads together in one thread. It spells trouble and lots of opportunities to insert Buffett lyrics into the thread ;).

[AmyBeth68]

I did 60 minutes today. Not sure if I should keep on posting since I hit three but what the heck :tongue: .

Nono and Lisa! Good Job girls!!!!

[Disneymooners93]

I'm already at 3, too, but I'll add as well since this group is part of the reason I keep going. 45 minutes of leg work out and situps. The tod got up in the middle of the workout so I did my lunges with a 25# boy instead of dumbells. :slyasafox

[lllovell]

I'll be there :)Sorry guys...You CANNOT put two parrotheads together in one thread. It spells trouble and lots of opportunities to insert Buffett lyrics into the thread ;).

Ooops. I gave myself a goofy, but only deserved a Mickey. Our run was rained out last night. Nice to have rain instead of snow, though. I know I'll get at least one more workout in, though!

[lllovell]

Sorry - I didnt check in yesterday too much, but took a 3 mile walk after dinner on Wed night! (love my lil pedometer!) Can't wait until time changes and I get more daylight time in the evenings again!

P.S. Parrotheads UNITE!!!

I did 30 min Walk/Jog on the tread this morning. Last time (Sun?) I ran a bit too much for my knee so I let it rest for a couple days. I need to find an alternate activity. Someday it will be walking weather.

[withdisneyspirit]

I'm back from my trip guys!! Y'all are great motivators because this is the first time that I worked out on a trip:highfive: On Thursday, I worked out in the condo we stayed in: pushups, ab and leg work and jogging in place for a 40 minute workout:jumpingbe

Then, on Friday, I went downstairs and outside to try to walk on the beach. The access was locked up tight:headache: I headed out walking and eventually found a beach access a mile away. I walked a little bit in the sand and then headed back to the condo. I sped up on the way back but just a fast walk and now my knee hurts again:rant: Kinda tells me how my knee reacts to a cement sidewalk as opposed to a cushiony treadmill:scary: Anyhoo, I got another 40 minute workout today:woohoo:

[matysgranma]

Welcome back, Lisa! Kuddos to you.
While in Pittsburgh yesterday, I did 20 minutes of toning in my hotel room and a 20 minute walk around the hotel. This was a first for me also. It felt good, though. Glad to be home, though!

I'm still clinging to the island! Finished a 35 min an interval jog/walk on the treadmill. I think the new running sneakers really helped my knees (:Pssst: pssst I never owned running shoes before!)

Ah, a new week! 25 minutes of weight training, 20 minutes on treadmill. Let's keep up the good work, guys!!! Thanks for the motivation!!!:cheerlead :cheerlead

Took a two day rest because of my &*#@ left knee; I was nice to it...may end up going to the doctor this week for it...

Anyway, I have 38 minutes today on the recumbent because my knee will put up with that:hammer:

[nono]

3 mi run in 42 minutes...

[lllovell]

Sorry for not checking in over the weekend..just too much going on - I was lucky to get in a 30 minute walk on the old treadmill Saturday to keep from getting voted off!!!

It was Charlie's birthday and in the past, I would have NEVER made time to exercise on such a busy day, but you all inspired me!

Sunday was cleaning up the yard day. 75% of the day outside and still not done. :yuck: At least by next weekend it will be looking really nice (for our yard...still having grass issues and refuse to sod since we are moving in a year or so).

Laura

[Disneymooners93]

Another day done... 45 minute run.

[AmyBeth68]

60 minutes of kickboxing today!

[cobbler]

I did an hours worth of cardio today.

[chimera]

Nearly 42 min, nearly 3 miles today.

[matysgranma]

Okay, just checking in! 35 minutes of ab toning. OUCH! This better pay off!!:kickingco

[withdisneyspirit]

An hour workout for me this morning. 20 on the recumbent and 40 weights, abs and pushups!

Oh, and I have a dr appt for my knee today. I really want to do walks on the beach at HHI so off I go for an xray:bugeyed:

[DarthGoofy]

60 on the weights today.

[Lisa]

Way to go, Lisa! What kind did you buy?

I bought some Asics Gel (GT-2110). A mid-range running shoe, nothing really special just having the right shoe for the activity seems to have helped. Who da thunk? I have always had a problem with my right knee that if I did too much hiking (especially downhill) or running it would then not be good for a couple days. I think (my expert opinion! LOL!) it's a structural problem, that my knee/ankle are not aligned properly and can stress the knee when the foot extends back repetively in an activity. I seem to do OK on the treadmill but do have to watch for signs of stress on the knee and stop. I should see someone about it again. Years ago I saw my family doctor.

Want to trade knee stories? What's up with your knee Lisa?

[matysgranma]

Lisa and Lisa! Hope your knees are not causing too many problems. Had lots of problems with my right knee also. I cannot run or jog anymore---too much stress on the knee. I'm okay on the treadmill, though. But I have to keep it at a slow pace.
That being sad, checking in with 30 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes weight conditioning.

[Lisa]

I did my treadmill interval jog/walk for 35 min again. Feeling stronger each time.

The Lisa's of the world are very smart, as they are Disney lovers and many of them are DVC owners:thumbsup:

I went for an xray today. My doc says it is not arthritis like I thought and more a mechanical problem. If it does not heal through babying it, I will face an MRI and a probable scope of the knee :( I haven't looked this up yet:sosad:

She, my doc, said it likely is a tear and she named a medical name that I cannot remember! Anyway, I wasn't too thrilled! Okay, I went and looked it up and I think she said meniscus tear, yuck!!

[Rozzie]

30 min walk today.

We are going to buy some non impact cardio machine of some sort for our anniversary next week. I am relieved to say the least. The concrete and I were not getting along. Some years ago, I was all into running, sometimes up to 5 miles a day, and then started having joint problems.

there won't be any exuse now!:whistlebl

[withdisneyspirit]

37 minutes on the recumbent; even this bothers my knee a bit! I can usually do 10 miles in 30 mins. but today it took 37:violinist :tearsaref

[lllovell]

30 minutes on the old treadmill last night! 3 minute slow jogging!

Going to do 35 minutes next week!!! (I was starting from scratch exercising and am a big girl - so working up on things!!!)

Laura

Laura! Kudos to you!
Just finished 25 minutes on treadmill and 15 minutes weight training. I'm tired and going to bed!

[Disneymooners93]

60 minutes tonight... I think I'll keep this up.

Results from the cholestrol check came back way down on everything, except the good one which was up. Total 242 last year, 188 yesterday. :doublejum

She, my doc, said it likely is a tear and she named a medical name that I cannot remember! Anyway, I wasn't too thrilled! Okay, I went and looked it up and I think she said meniscus tear, yuck!!

A guy at work just had this repaird, DW had hers fixed several years ago. No real lingering problems was it was fixed. Good Luck.

[withdisneyspirit]

Thanks for the vote of confidence about fixing my knee, DM93:highfive: I guess we will see what happens when I get back from HHI and try my treadmill again...

I did 10 miles (on the bike) today in 33 minutes, a little better than yesterday and did leg work too for a total workout of 50 minutes!

I sure do miss Carrie!!!!

[Lisa]

30 minutes on the old treadmill last night! 3 minute slow jogging!

Going to do 35 minutes next week!!! (I was starting from scratch exercising and am a big girl - so working up on things!!!)

:worried: Hi Survivors! I sure hope to get my final workout in! I know I'm a bit dense tonight...but when does the week officially end? LOL...this has been asked before but I'm way too lazy to go find it :hahahaha: . I think Saturday is my last chance to exercise.

Been sick all week....went to the doc only to find out I've got bronchitis and was given strict orders to NOT exercise. Meanie! ;) j/k but it really messes up my running schedule AND it I sure don't want to get kicked off castaway cay. Although I could help Cobbler out with the CM duties.

Geesh Cobbler...you must be exhausted running this place all by yourself?! ;) You may have a helper if I can't kick this cough in the next day!!!

[withdisneyspirit]

You can do other than cardio if you feel well enough, Amy :highfive: :chillpill

[DarthGoofy]

I went on a nice walk last night for about 45 minutes.

[matysgranma]

Amy, you take care of yourself and :listen: to what the doctor orders. Your body needs time to heal and you don't want to put any more stress on it. You do whatever it takes to feel better. We're rooting for you!:cheerlead I think I'm correct in saying that we're all doing this to get back in shape and not to stay or get kicked off the island. That being said, may I suggest that next month we have the same exercise format, but let's leave out the "getting kicked off" part. Some times there are things that we just don't have any control over (like getting bronchitis) and I just feel so sorry for those who are trying so hard and then kinda feel defeated. And might I add, HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY TO YOU ALL. HERE'S HOPING YOU GET TO DO A LITTLE (OR A LOT) OF IMBIBING SOME TIME TODAY!:beer: :ale: :bouncingg

Okay....vent over ;). I think I'll make my exercise goal for the week. My coughing is MUCH better and I slept through the night for the first time in a while!!! So that being said, I may try to take a nice walk and do some abs later. But don't put me down for it yet....I'll report back if I make it out my front door LOL!

And thanks for the well-wishes guys! :grouphug:

[PoohsPal]

Hi all! I've missed you!!! Thansk for missing me!

Still have to catch up with everything I've been putting off for 2 weeks, but at least I made it out of the corporate dungeon today.

lllovell - Thanks so much for updating the list!!!!:loveisint

matysgranma - I like your idea. I'm thinking doctor's orders should be excused, but I don't know how others feel.

As for me, :bagovermy , I don't think I'll make it this week. I worked late Monday and had to clean the house fo rTuedays guest. Woreked a little late Tuesday and then had guests. Wednesday, I worked until 6:45, got home at 7:45. WOrked from 8:30 to 9:30. Been sick all week, was able to propoerly digest my first solid food yesterday. Started getting dh's cold Wednesday. I just want to crawl in bed. WOn't be home until close to 11 pm tonight. I'm really hoping dh can get over his guilt so that we don't have to go to the ILs this weekend. We both need to get better and get some rest.

If things don't get worse, I'll be moving agian tomorrow. The worst part is I'm exhausted, but mylegs are cramping up at night due to lack of use. :( Not a very good leader this week. :( SOrry for the whining.

30 minutes weight training today :birhdaypa

[lllovell]

Chimera - I just noticed your quote in your siggy and I love it!

I am fine with Drs. excuses being ok - we know we dont want anyone sick.

I hate to say this, but I am thinking the knee thing is because we are getting *cough cough* older. :headache: This is why walking is best for me, but I haven't pushed too hard yet on the little bit of running, so I am still feeling GREAT. That said, I am also still just doing the minimum 3, so that might be why as well.

[matysgranma]

Carrie! So glad you're back and feeling better. Man, I know about this up and down weather. 60 degrees on Saturday, 4 inches of snow yesterday. It's a wonder we're all not sick!

[Disneymooners93]

60 minutes today.

[nono]

Yoga yesterday - -somewhere between 45-50 min...not quite 2 sessions as someone decided to keep pushing me over during the balance and stability work! :sosad:

[matysgranma]

30 minutes treadmill, 20 minutes weight training for today

[nono]

Ran for 59 minutes

[withdisneyspirit]

Laura, I believe you may be right about the age thing and the knees, mine is also definitely related to my being a good twenty pounds above where I need to be to jog much:tearsaref

I can definitely agree to an "illness excuse." It does appear that the weather is doing a number on many of us.

We are leaving today for HHI:birhdaypa I took a rest day yesterday and likely will today as well since we will be on the road for seven hours:yo-yo: I am going to be working out on vacation. I plan to take walks on the beach and exploring the resort. I am bringing two dumbbells, a set of ankle weights and my yoga mat too:jumpingbe If I don't get near a computer, I will post about all of it on Saturday next week.

Have a great week everyone! Get better Amy and Carrie!!! It was great to see you post, Carrie:grouphug:

[nono]

Lisa,

That's great that you are taking a yoga mat with you. I do that now as well, along with a yoga DVD to keep me focused!

As for the knees, I dropped 10 lbs. in February before starting to run. (The two times I've done South Beach Phase 1 faithfully, I've been able to lose and maintain about a 10 lb weight loss each time).

Have a great vacation!!!!:jumpingbe

[DarthGoofy]

45 minutes with the weights this morning for me.

[chimera]

3 miles today in 39:12

[AmyBeth68]

Pilates today. Phew...just squeaked in 3 workouts this week!

[Lisa]

Just squeeked in a session. I should have done the treadmill this morning but didn't get going fast enough. By the end of the day I was/am feeling like I'm coming down with something (totally wiped, sore throat, stuffy nose, achy). DH was supportive of the Cay and put the little one to bed and incouraged me to go in the basement and do something. So something it was! I used a new balence ball and did some floor exercises. Nothing great but I will do for today. I feel like I do more when I jog/sweat on the treadmill but I need to branch out to some muscle building exercises, so this was probably a good thing.

[Rozzie]

30 min walk. I am so the weakest link on here...:sosad:

I'm just bnarely moving enought to get to work today. Got to get out soon, though. :(

[lllovell]

I'm sorry Carrie! I meant to do that for you yesterday. *grumbling at work*

I got in my regular walking (making sure to get over 10,000 steps a day which isn't always easy working at a desk job and nursing a baby - which requires me to sit often while at home in the evenings) but didnt exercise yesterday. Maybe tonight.

Hey Carrie,

I'm so sorry you're feeling lousy :thumbsway :sick: . GET BETTER SOON!

By the way....I'm not sure that sickness should preclude you from remaining on the Cay! I think last week shouldn't count due to your having the flu!

Take Care of yourself.

[PoohsPal]

Thanks everyone for wishing me well. I really can't count being sick, because I would only have gotten in one work out anyway because of my work schedule. No porbnlem. I like relieving cobbler of some of her chores. ;)

[AmyBeth68]

60 minutes today...running, abs, stretching etc :)

[nono]

30 min yoga. I didn't get to do it until early tonight, and I was really just dying to get at the mat! The yoga really helps me with my running, so it makes me :jumpingbe

[Disneymooners93]

Really crummy run today. Not sure if it was the long run on Sunday, being away from home and I used a foreign treadmill, or the 3 beers last night. Still I was moving for 45 minutes and added a poor attempt at a stretch afterward. :tongue:

[matysgranma]

Well, that nasty old flu bug finally caught up with me. All I could squeak out was a 25 minute stretch. And that darn near killed me. Hopefully I'll make up the difference tomorrow.

matysgranma - Oh, I hope you're not getting what I have and a day of rest gets you better! I counted yesterday as that was clearly a work out called off due to illness.

dm93 - Hope your next workout is better, sounds like a lot of contributing factors there.

Went to bed at 7 last night adn came in late today. Still very loopy, but I think I'm getting better.

Feeling much better today. It seems that it must have been a 24 hour thing. All achey and weak. Just got a call from dh at work, and he's come down with it, too.
Today I was able to do 30 minutes of yoga (which actually made me feel so much better) and 30 minutes of light weight workout.

[AmyBeth68]

Pixie Dust :dust to Matysgranma and Carrie! Hope you are both feeling all better soon!!!

I did 50 minutes...power yoga and abs today. Missed KBX :(, DD didn't want to get out of bed for me this morning. But I got a decent workout in anyway :).

[cobbler]

Carrie is in charge of the umbrella drinks since I protested when I got the new job!! :laughing: :laughing: ;)

[Disneymooners93]

I did 20 minutes of exercise over 60 minutes or so (not really qualifying).

70 minutes this morning.

[AmyBeth68]

Ran today :) 30 minutes plus abs and stretching...probably total of 45/50 minutes?!

OK, I probably won't be back until Sunday or Monday. Promise to be a better example next week! Have a great weekend everyone!

[matysgranma]

Carrie! Have a great weekend. Thanks for all your hard work.
30 minutes of ab toning, and 30 minutes walking on treadmill. I sure wish I'd start to see some results. This can be so frustrating!
:mad:

[chimera]

1.5 miles on the TM in 21:56

[nono]

30 minutes of yoga.

Matys...I don't see results usually for a month. My bod LOVES to hold on to its fat...:laughing:

Have faith. I've been running now for 5 or 6 weeks and am exactly the same weight. And volume...

But it'll come!

[Disneymooners93]

40 minutes lifting weights.

[AmyBeth68]

60 minute KBX class!

[matysgranma]

30 minutes toning, 30 minutes light weight training

[withdisneyspirit]

I'm baaacckk!!! I did work out on my vacation. Yay! It was definitely the challenge that kept me on track!

I did 30 minutes walking on Sunday with the family :) Then on Tuesday, DH and I walked 45 minutes all around HHI:lovestruc On Wednesday, DH, me, DM and DF got out and walked three miles (slower pace, one hour), all the way to the shopping center that has Guiseppe's in it:woohoo: Then, finally, my fourth workout this week was on Thursday when DH and I walked for 50 minutes, about 2 1/2 miles.:jumpingbe I had to be very careful with my knee. I am wearing a $450 knee brace when I exercise.

When we arrived to HHI, we found out that DS13 had a stomach virus! All of our sleeping arrangements had to change because we did not want DM and DF to be exposed to the virus, if at all possible. Since, DH and I shared the 2nd bedroom with the boys, I did not have room to use my yoga mat :crazy: I've missed all of you:grouphug:

[cobbler]

I did 30 minutes at Curves yesterday.
