I'm home! The anniversary party for my parents yesterday was wonderful! We all had such a great time. Almost 100 people came to celebrate with us. I am WIPED OUT today... time for a nap after this post! Friday, 7/23- run/walk - 70 minutes I ran about 20 minutes before I got to this little back country road that is uphill almost all the way and I just couldn't keep it up, so I started doing intervals for the rest of the time. Running uphill is HARD!

I completely forgot to post my Yoga workouty from Saturday morning. D'OH! Saturday, 7/24- Yoga- 45 minutes. It was a new one for me and it KICKED MY BUTT. As a joke, my brother laid down beside me and started to do one of the poses that works your abs. He made it about 3 seconds before his legs dropped. Later he said, "Man, that was HARD!"

07/25 - Walking + Pure and Simple Stretch = 68 minutes A quick word of thanks to Dahli and Mak1! Had to skip over a few parts of this stretching tape because of lingering soreness in my right leg & foot but still it felt so good to do something. After shaking his head in disbelief when I asked how soon before I could resume my workouts, the doctor sternly advised against putting "undue" pressure on my toe for several weeks but as I'm now officially bored to frustration, I'm trying several of my really basic and/or very low-impact exercise tapes. And I swear I'll never take my pinkie toe(s) for granted ever again, lol. Oh, I bought a pedometer. You should've seen me trying to figure out the length of my stride - the directions said to take ten normal paces (mine aren’t quite normal right now!), measure the distance covered and divide by ten but...everywhere I went in my house I kept running into a wall or piece of furniture before I could go ten steps, lol. But I got it finally. Hermione69: Thanks for your kind words about my "stream of consciousness" posts and injury. That was so sweet and I really appreciated it! Sometimes I feel like no one "gets" what I'm writing so it's always an unexpected treat to find someone who says she does, lol. I’ve always loved reading your posts about nature trails, beach vacations, positive goals and so on too. I have so much more fun checking in here than at other fitness forums where all it seems anyone wants to do is complain about how such-and-such a tape never got her heart rate up (confession - I never bother to check my pulse during aerobics)! I hope you like your new yoga routine - it’s wonderful to learn new postures, isn’t it? Belated Best Wishes and Congratulations to your parents for their anniversary!!!

Yesterday- a big, fat zero. Same today, so far! And I am getting ready to go to the movies, which I rarely do because so few movies come to my city in open caption. But there is one playing tonight and a friend and I are going so it will likely be a big, fat zero for today as well unless I come home miraculously pumped up from Van Helsing and ready to roll. You never know, though, I may! Calamity, I really do enjoy your posts. I think we have kindred spirits. When you posted awhile back that you are 35, it was a surreal moment for me because I am too. Maybe we were separated at birth. LOL!

7/25: 80 minutes, walked and mowed lawn 7/26: 90 minutes, walk, weights, resistance, core stability ball stretches and abs Herm, I'm just in awe of your steady progress in running. Good job! I enjoy reading the streams of consciousness in here, too. It makes the thread even more enjoyable to me. Herm and Calamity, you're just spring chickens, aren't you? I'm old enough to be your (youngish) auntie.

Hellooo Auntie Mak! I just got home from the movie. It was so abysmally bad, that it was laughable. Literally. We sat there and laughed through most of it. I should have gone running instead. Oh well, <tosses hair> tomorrow is another day!

Hey, Workout Dudes and Dudettes! I'm back. After partying in Vegas (where I did manage to work out twice) then back to Vancouver for a day, then to L.A. for four days (work), then roller-coaster riding Saturday weekend with my stepson, then driving to Whister and back in an afternoon on Sunday, I haven't gotten much gym time in this past week, but I was at least moving the whole time! I am planning to go to my 5:30 Super Step class today, and CAN NOT WAIT! I missed you guys! I'll check in after the class with my time. P.S. -- I did buy a scale, but it's more to track my progress and to help remind myself on a regular basis not to eat badly, NOT to become obsessive over. Hope everyone is well! P.S.S. -- Hermione, what movie did you see? P.S.S.S. -- I love to be able to "chat" in here too!

07/27 - Walking + Pure and Simple Stretch (again) = 68 minutes Yankee: Welcome back! I'm jealous of all the traveling you got to do! I hope you like your scale - I still don't have one myself but finally found a health notebook that I liked. It's got space to log workouts, meals, and vitamins. And I also picked up this handy tape measure that snaps together and makes it a breeze to take your own measurements. Enjoy your class! Hermione: Thanks again for your nice words. I've always connected with a lot of things you've had to say too...in this thread and others. 'Course I think I was predisposed to like you simply because of your TVCH name, lol. Have you gotten to see Prisoner of Azkaban yet? I really like Hugh Jackman & Kate Beckinsale (sp?) but just couldn't bring myself to see Van Helsing - the trailer & ads just weren't working for me.

7/27- run/walk on treadmill- 75 minutes; free weights, lunges, squats, abs, stretches- 25 minutes; total- 100 minutes. Today on the treadmill I ran about 3.5 miles altogether, but I didn't do it straight through. I did have to slow it down to a walk a couple of times. I was still happy! There were severe thunderstorms in my area tonight so I couldn't do the trail and let me tell you, running on the treadmill can get BOR-ING! Helloooo everyone! Yankee, welcome home! Everyone who met you in Vegas says you are gorgeous. This comes as no surprise! I saw Van Helsing. Bad movie. Bad, bad movie! LOL! Calamity, I have seen POA twice! Neither time in caption unfortunately, but I still loved it. In September, it is coming to a city about 90 minutes from me in caption. A couple of friends and I are planning to drive down and see it! By the way, Mak, thanks for your kind words. I appreciate it because I feel stuck at 2 miles right now as far as running straight through. I'm anxious to get back to my little trail and see how I do there. I just wish the weather would cooperate! I will get the chart done in the morning. Heaven knows I don't have much to do at summer school. I was a wild woman on the board this morning. Thank God I'm not like that all the time!

7/27 -- 75 minutes (60 minutes Super Step, 15 minutes stretch & arm weights) Thanks for the welcome back, you guys. It has cooled off a bit, Mak1 -- in the 80s (not 90s) so very acceptable IMO! And Hermione, I heard that Van Helsing was horrible -- I'm glad I didn't see it. One of my friends said the same as you -- it was laugh-out-loud-bad. And if you could get into the "spirit" of enjoying how bad it was, it was OK. Otherwise, it was awful...

For Week 28 (WEEK 28, FOLKS! THAT'S SEVEN MONTHS!! YAY!) we worked out 36.8 hours for a combined TTD of 1078 hours!!
Yankee, I added your 120 minutes from Week 27 that didn't make that chart into your TTD. NOTABLES Calamity hit over 100 hours a couple weeks ago! Secretsmile is already past 50 hours!! Denecee is rapidly approaching 200 hours!! WAY TO GO, EVERYONE!!

I want to let you all know that I love this thread too! I read all of your post with interest and feel like my post are boring, but that's where I am in my life-boring, USA. It feels good to know that I have exercise buddies out there. Hermione, you are great! Thank you again for taking the time to do the chart and the daily updates over in the tvclubhouse updates. 7/27: walked 90 min, biked 30 min Total120

Hermione, your chart is HYSTERICAL! It took me a minute to figure out Calamity's -- but when I did, I laughed out loud!

07/28 - The Firm: Parts - Ballroom Aerobics = 45 minutes My toe was throbbing for awhile after I worked out early this morning. Now it's just numb. I guess that's an improvement. I was skimming a lifestyle book yesterday that covers workouts, diet, sleep, emotions, work, body image, and spirituality. It's nothing ground-breaking but still interesting. Denecee: Your posts aren't boring! I always look forward to see your times, especially since you do sporty stuff . I wish I could take long walks and bike rides during the week. Hermione: Clever chart! Thanks for the laugh (or should I say "chuckle"?). Yea for your running too! P.S. I wish a thunderstorm would come through my area. We did have an unseasonably cool night and yesterday was overcast with a soft rain in the morning. I liked that - can't deal with bright, sunny weather all the time, lol.

Well, thank you Calamity! My bike rides are on a stationary bike in my bed room, but I do have an actual bike. My dog protests when I bike outside instead of taking him for a walk. 7/28: walked 90 min, biked 30 min, weights 10 min Total for 7/28: 130 min Ok, I tried to make my font size smaller but I guess I haven't figured it out. How do ya'll do that?
