Yesterday I did my Jog/Walk in cooler temps and it was soooo much easier. Jog 2 min/Walk 1 min X 7. Then a 10 min dogwalk. Not much else to add. I hope you're having a good food choice day!
See you later!

Hidy Ho, DD Buddies!
I did 56:02 (6.6 miles) on the NordicTrack with 30 min at incline level 1. Cals and fat are up--need to stock up on fruit--about the only thing available was SWEETENED applesauce, Yuk-o! No thanks, I'll take 3 of those baby BABY RUTHs please:-) I burned enough--but my food choices as of now now could use an overhaul! Gee, how many times have I written that in the last year--guess I need to worry when I think the food choices of today are just peachy keen!
It's early or late (depending on your perspective)--gotta go!
Last night, I was real tempted to make some biscotti for Matt. Until I realized that they were really for <i>me</i>. Nope. Decided not to do it. But, I could imagine how good they would taste <i>and everything</i>... Mmmmmmmm. Still didn't do it.
Get into the car and go get some fruit. {smile}

Hi this lovely Thursday!
I did my Circuit Aerobic Workout yesterday (18 min Airdyne and 40 min of weights and abs). Calories were a little high;-) I have noticed that my appetite is a bit stunted since I started the jogging. It's much more noticeable on the jog/walk days.
Kyrin, as far as cutting down on the number of jogging min--I'm going to leave it as is for at least 2 more sessions--if it's really killing me (I don't think it will be:-), then I'll probably cut back.
I'm getting through it, I'm just pushing myself, which I haven't been used to doing. My main goal with the jogging is to get to the 20 min without having to have a break caused by knee pain. So far, so good (actually I didn't think I'd get this far without having to give it up because of knee pain). The next goal after that is to increase my fitness level over time. And judging from my workout on the NordicTrack this morning it's getting better. It's all a package.
When I jogged years ago, it was the only exercise I did, and I burned out pretty fast. I got to the point where my longest run was 6 miles and lost interest. This time around if 20-30 min is the longest I get to, then I'll be happy. I would like to do a half-marathon, but I'm not really pushing for that at this point. I consider my goals at this point to be far more realistic, doable, and sustainable.
MichelleP, I get the quotes from a bunch of websites and a couple books I have.
Have a good day--I'll see you all later!

Hi! Looks like you're doing great to me! I haven't tried jogging much. When I do, I feel soooo heavy, haha! And I have bad knees too. I'm trying to exercise them in the pool, hopefully to strengthen them up some. Doc says it's arthritis. Keep up the good work.

Hi to you all!
I got in my little jog/walk yesterday--first time to do 2 min jog/1 min walk for 7 times. It damn near kicked my ass I have to say! I really hated every second of the jog part and barely caught my breath before I had to jog again--today, I'm glad I got through it. It's got to get easier, right? Funny, but I've been thinking about going back to school to finish a degree and I feel exactly the same way about it. Fear of failure and not looking forward to it--maybe if I can conquer the elusive 20-min (straight) jog, I can go finish my degree before I turn 65--haha--but really, it's not funny--I should be serious about finishing things.
So, I shouldn't whine about it--there are alot of people who would love to be able to do exactly what I'm complaining about. I forget that with the ability to do the physical things, I have an obligation to my "temple" to live up to some kind of expectation--I'm not anywhere near excellence in fitness (according to the little test I mentioned in a previous entry), but I don't think I'm going to quit just yet. I guess I just didn't know how bad I felt all the months I didn't do any exercise for myself over the years.
I have to thank you all for your encouragement and inspiration, I do appreciate every bit of it:-)
Have a good food choice day!
It just seems like it would be easier to stick with if you build on success.
Hugs!
Kyrin
LOL okay where do you keep getting these awesome quotes?!
Working toward physical fitness is really a full time thing. Heck lol I start at 4:30 a.m. and don't really stop all day.
Way to go on the run! I started again today.... lol I will share my time to give you a good laugh. I ran 1/2 mile in 9 minutes... good gravey that is terrible. By the time the Army 10 mile race, in the end of Oct lol it better be fast or it will take me at least 3 hours.. now mind you by that time they will have all left and gone home! Take care and have a wonderful night!

Lookin' good! If the 2 minute jog is too, too much, how about backing it down to 1:30 of jog with 1:30 of walk until you have that conquered. No one is going to shoot you if you back off a bit. I know that you want to get where you can do the 20-minute jog, but if you dread doing something so much and aren't feeling successful at it, are you really going to do it?

I did my measurements and they're all up a bit or just about the same. I only did a little yard cleanup for activity--so I kind of took it easy--that's important to this process for me. I can't just go 90 to nothing all the time and feel good! I had another pretty good food day!
I'll see you all later--have a good food & exercise day!
Way to go!
Kyrin
I wanted to thank you! You may have saved a diet and a life today. I know a bit on the dramatic side but it is sorta true. I was getting so upset over the way I have been feeling the last few days... tired, dizzy, and just plain weak. This past spring I was told by the dr. that my blood sugars were too low and that I needed more sugar in my diet. At the time I was almost starving myself. I have NOT been doing that but have been back to the low end of calories and not eating before I workout... duh !! It finally hit me today when I read your comment to me.
I am going to work on getting in more on the way of fruits and see how I feel, so far I have had 2 oranges, 4 prunes (my new fav. food), 1 med. tom. not bad!!
Your right you have to give the body rests, or it starts to really fight you. The measurements going up maybe anything from water to muscle. You are doing great! We are in this for the long haul!!
Take care and have a wonderful day! Thanks again!

Hi - I haven't checked in with you lately - sorry about that -- but I try to at least keep up with reading the entries. Good job on the run/walk. I am going to start to do that next. I have been doing a good fast walk for about 3 weeks now, and I think I can kick it up a notch! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Keep up the good work. You are doing great with your exercise. You are so my hero.

Hi Everyone!
I do appreciate your kind and wonderful comments! I had a good couple of exercise days. Like I said before, the jog/walk doesn't show that it burns as much as I feel it takes out of me. I did that yesterday--1 min jog/1 min walk for 10 repetitions. It was really hot--probably could have picked a cooler time of day.
On Friday I did 53 min on the NordicTrack and Circuit Aerobic Workout--30 min weights/abs and 20 min Airdyne. On these 2 days I ate a couple of good, pre-planned meals. For the most part though, I ate less than perfect foodstuffs, aka Garbage!
So, I've got the routine of exercise somewhat down with no major soreness, so I'll just have to put forth a little more effort with the food choices. A 43-year-old person can only do so much, but it seems I can eat as much as I did when I was a teenager. Mind over matter, right?
My next jog walk will be 2 min jog/1 min walk times 7. I'll stick to the every 3 days, but I think I'll be getting up early to do it to avoid the heat. I'm not doing too well as yet on the "MichelleP Boot Camp" walking I had planned. It's been a number of years since I did more than about a half-mile walk in the street! Actually I wouldn't be here now if I had kept up all that walking.
Got some different socks and will try again today--I think it's just a matter of time and my feet getting used to it. I've got great (haha) calluses on my heels--but it's the ball of my left foot that's the problem.
I gotta go--will check in later--have a good day ya'll!
LOL I sure could have picked a better time of year to do this dang bootcamp. With the heat idex it is 110 here again today, its been like this going on 2 weeks. I have been getting really sick after my walks. I try to do them early but it is still in the mid 90's.
I feel the same way with the walks, on fitday it says they are not much on the way of burning calories but it takes a lot out of me. I almost gave up the walking to increase the bike rides but I really do want to do the Army 10 mile race in October...lol thank God it will be cooler by then.
You are doing awesome! Take care and have a great day!

Yes, I am going to really try to reach my calorie and fat goal just for today! Tomorrow too, but let's just deal with today, okay!
Have a good food and exercise day!

Hi Everyone!
Hope you're having a good food day. Here's my activity rundown for the last few days. Yesterday I did my 1 min Jog/1 min Walk for 11 times--sort of lost count, was supposed to be only 10 and given the heat--I really didn't need that last minute. Tuesday I did 64 min on the NordicTrack with 32 min at level one. Mowed for about 1.5 hours. Funny, but the jog/walk doesn't count for as many calories, but it took much more out of me--oh well. I bought 4 Chunky bars for a dollar at Walgreen's--put them in the candy dish and have only partaken (haha) of one of them so far. Hear ye, Hear ye, I also partook of a triple-sized Baby Ruth over the weekend--it wasn't that good. I want more "oh my choc chip cookies" if you want to know the truth. But I'm not baking anytime soon;-)
Comic Relief: A Woman Can't Find Her Scale
On Monday I did my Circuit Aerobic Workout with 40 min of weights and 400 (80x5) abs. I don't know what they're called, but it's when you touch your elbows alternately to your knees (knees bent and hands behind your neck). I've worked up from about 20 at a time several weeks ago. On Sunday I did the Jog/Walk for 10 times (1 min).
That's about the size of it--hope you're all staying cool!
You're really gettin' it with your workouts. Now...how about those fat grams? ...and 2700 calories? What are you eating? It must be yummy! LOL
But, seriously...Come on, Biscotti. I wouldn't be your friend if I didn't call you on this intake of yours lately. I thought the plan was for around 1800 calories a day. Did you start a new plan and forget to share the news? You mean I can eat like a storm trooper and still lose weight? All right! Share the secret...
Hugs!

Hi, Biscotti!
Sunday 7.28
Happy Tuesday!
I did my Jog/Walk on Sunday--it was 1 min Jog then 1 min Walk 10 times for a total of about 25 min. I started out thinking this is too easy! By the time I got to the 10th Jog--I had a deeper appreciation for my body--hahaha--thanks body!
Yesterday I did my Circuit Aerobic Workout on the Airdyne for about 20 min with about 40 min of weights and abs. I'm very pleased with my stepped up intensity.
Food Sucked--I'm renaming FitDay to PitDay! I'll get some numbers in here soon. I have noticed that I've been less "hungry" lately. I put hungry in quotes because it's not really hunger 90% of the time--it's just a compulsion to eat something. I'm down .5 inch in both my Rt leg and my hips. I only measure the right leg. I'm up in other measures. And on the little CoolTool bodyfat thing, I'm down from 31.2% to 29.7%--at least it's down. I don't see it as definitive, but just one more thing to go by.
Hope you're having a good food day!
Hugs!
