YAY, DENECEE!

7/29- The Grind Workout- 40 minutes

I am completely and utterly wiped out today, and was yesterday too, actually. I had to force myself to do anything at all today but tomorrow I am donating blood and I don't think you are supposed to work out on the same day you give blood. So I wanted to do SOMETHING just in case I can't tomorrow.

Ah well, I'm rambling. Have a nice night guys.

07/30 - The Firm: Parts - Ballroom Aerobics = 45 minutes

A friend said I'm a masochist for exercising but even with the toe discomfort, it feels better for me to be active than not.

Hermione: If it's okay to nag...I was looking back a page and I think you left out my 07/14 workout in the chart for that week. I did a workout that day before the accident. It can wait 'til you recover from donating blood though, lol. (Good for you btw! Last time I went they said I was borderline anemic. Pfft...no I'm not!)

07/14 - The Firm: Parts - Tough Aerobics Mix = 49 minutes (corrected time)

Enjoy your weekend, everyone! TGIF!

Thanks for the support guys! LOL! Sometimes I am a little slow to learn stuff. Hermione, you are such a good citizen taking the time to donate blood, thank you for being such a nice person.

I don't know what you are talking about, Calamity. I am perfect and I do not make mistakes!

Bwa ha ha ha ha! I'll get it when I do the next chart.

Giving blood has never fazed me, but thanks for the support. :-) I was a little light-headed this afternoon, though. That's rare. I don't think I ate enough this morning before giving.

08/01 - Yogilates Vol. 1 = 43 minutes

Boring tape...but at least I can do it without any toe twinges. I'm sure everyone who reads this thread will be thrilled (as will I) when I can stop griping about that darn toe, lol. Since the tape was so basic, I tried to focus my efforts on achieving a very calm, peaceful, meditative state.

Hermione: Thank you!

8/1: 40 minutes, walked

8/2: 75 minutes, walk, yoga, abs, stretches

Calamity, I broke a toe once, not as traumatically as yours, and I remember it hurt and kept swelling for a long time. I give you credit for exercising at all!

Herm, I've had a cold before. I've had to walk/run on the boring treadmill many times. Wah wah! (Oh, please know I'm kidding with you! I realize you can't see the endearing snicker with that comment, lol. It's something my oldest DD and I say to each other when one of us is whiny, and it makes the whiner laugh.) I hope you felt better after your run.

Mak! You hurt my feelings. I have now locked myself in the bathroom and am sobbing my little heart out. I am wailing and gnashing my teeth with misery. Oh wait. I'm really not, but it was fun to pretend.

I feel MUCH better now that I have worked out. WHINE ALERT-- I gave blood Friday, had a bad head cold Saturday and Sunday, AND cramps Sunday-- END OF WHINE. TMI? Too bad, so sad! See what you have done? You've got me on a roll! Regardless, it was not a period of time conducive to physical exercise! It was good to sweat tonight!

I was whining about the rain, but when I walked out to go to the gym, there was a break in the weather and I was able to run on my trail for 20 minutes before it started up again. Then I went to the gym and did the hill workout on the treadmill. Now I have that whole exercise euphoria going on which is why I am so chatty.

There was this BEAUTIFUL man running on the trail in the opposite direction from me so we passed each other a couple of times. I swear, he looked like a Greek god come to life. He was shirtless, and his body was tall, lithe and golden skinned, and he had hair that was just long enough to beg you to run your fingers through it. I had never seen him before. I am pretty sure I frothed at the mouth every time he approached me. In fact, I am starting to froth at the mouth just thinking about him.

I'm giddy, LOL!

I'm also getting ready to go do some weights, abs and stretches. I'll post everything when I am done.

LOL, Herm. Are you sure the exercise euphoria isn't making you hallucinate? I mean...why would Fabio be running on your trail? He's really busy hawking fake butter spray, or something. I'm almost drooling just reading about your apparition. I hope he sticks around.

Fabio, Shabbio... this guy was WAY better looking. I literally could not tear my eyes away from him. It was embarrassing, actually. It is extremely rare for me to come across a man that I find so attractive that I literally cannot look away.

The last man I crossed paths with like that was in AA and he ended up becoming one of my closest AA friends in the Tidewater area. He, along with my parents and a few other friends of mine, helped me move into a new apartment once. My mom, who was approaching 60 at the time, was as giddy as a school girl in front of him!! She got all discombobulated! It was HILARIOUS! She could NOT stop talking about him after he left!

We've drifted apart since I moved to the Richmond area of the state. My first thought when I saw this man tonight was how much he resembled my friend from AA... maybe it is a sign that I need to look up my old friend! In addition to being so beautiful, he was always one of the kindest people I knew. I think that is part of what made him so beautiful. He radiated that kindness. Oh well, enough rambling. It is time for bed.


Tonight- run/walk/hill workout- 65 minutes; weights, abs, stretch- 30 minutes; total- 95 minutes.

P.S. Calamity, if I can gripe about my cold, cramps, running on a treadmill and rain, AND ramble on and on about some Greek god who reminds me of a good friend from my past, you are certainly allowed to keep talking about your toe!

08/02 - Hula Workout for Weight Loss = 28 minutes
08/03 - Strength & Grace = 45 minutes

Can you tell I'm getting desperate? I searched through my dusty stacks of forgotten workout tapes and came across a couple Hula videos. The Hula's basically low-impact so I decided to give it a whirl. It was fun but frustrating - the tape is so poorly edited and cued and it's not that cardio-intensive. However I now keep drifting into daydreams of an Hawaiian vacation. Melodic waterfalls, colorful birds, lush green leaves glistening with raindrops, a fragrant lei and glass of pineapple juice...*sigh*. And here I am in the freaking Midwest with nary a surfboard in sight. My freshman RA was from Hawaii and no one could fathom why she came to the mainland.

Mak1: Thanks for the support, lol. %#@* toe!

Hermione: Your tale of the nature trail encounter with the Greek God (he's just in time for the Olympics too!!) brightened my day! And your AA friend reminded me of someone dear from my past.

Denecee: Your note made me laugh! Guess I should get back to work.

Hey, all, sticking to my schedule (1 hour 15 mins per day). Have not lost any more weight, darn hubby seems to have pounds melt away, so unfair.

Guess by the hours I rack up you all can tell I have nothing better to do with my day huh?

8/3: 65 minutes, mowing stubborn, wet grass, weights, resistance, core ball

lol, Herm. Fabio doesn't do it for me, but your vivid description of the Greek god sounded like someone you would see on a romance novel cover. I giggled reading about your mom's reaction to your friend. That must have been so cute!

YW, Calamity. It sounds like the hula put you in a good place. There's a lot to be said for doing something that's just plain fun and relaxing.

Good job, SS and Denecee!

8/3: walked 90, biked 30 Total:120 min
My walks take me to the park and back, it's 3 miles round trip and I try to do it twice a day. Anyway, I've been doing it for so many years that strangers have approached me at the grocery store to say, "you're the woman who walks her dog all the time."
A couple of weeks ago I had a little scare on my a.m. walk. On my path to the park I have to cross a major cross walk and proceed down a sidewalk that is parallel to the freeway on ramp. I had just crossed the on ramp to the other sidewalk and heard a loud crash. I looked back to where I had just been less than a minute before and a log truck carrying 5 huge trees lost it's back axle which made the trees hit the road. Lucky for the trucker the trees stayed at an angle on the truck. On my way back from the park, I checked out the area where I was walking and sure enough there was some chunks of tree! I could have been hit! I tell you, when I pass that way now, I go as fast as possible. Hope this story wasn't too long.

OMG Denecee! Thank goodness you and your doggy were okay! Call it good luck or guardian angels but something must have been looking out for you that day. Take care when you go that way from now on!

Btw that's great that you walk so much - sounds like you're a neighborhood celebrity too :-) .

P.S. And don't fret that your stories are too long!

Thanks Calamity! My neighbors do know me, but it took a couple of years of them seeing me everyday to finally start talking to me. It doesn't help that when I walk I walk at a speed of 4mph. They probably thought I was on a mission,lol!

8/4: 50 minutes, walk, abs, stretches

Denecee, thank goodness you and your pooch weren't hurt! I walk the same route most days and meet other "regulars" at different points along the way, depending what time I'm out there. We don't all know each other's names, but we always greet each other now as we zoom by, lol.
