06/27 - Yoga Mind and Body = 50 minutes
06/28 - The Firm Vol. 4 = 44 minutes
06/30 - Jump rope / Sun Salutations / Stretching = 45 minutes
07/01 - BalletPilates = 50 minutes
07/02 - The Firm Vol. 4 = 44 minutes

I don't know if it's the weather or what but I just haven't been that motivated to do anything really strenuous lately. Need to kick myself into gear! I have been doing a lot of outdoor activities though, so it's not too bad.

Secretsmile: Glad you're doing well!

Mak1: Walking was at the Toledo Zoo - never been there before. I'm still a little stunned that I confided that info about my past - wish I hadn't said anything about my family situation. Nevertheless, I really appreciated your kind words, Hermione69's too. Thanks so much. Now will that post please archive soon???!!!

Btw, I'd love to be at the beach right now :-) . Splashing in the surf...listening to the sea gulls...gazing at the beautiful scenery...and so on! Hope everyone has a gorgeous weekend!

7/2: 55 minutes, treadmill, bike, stability ball exercises (something new I'm trying)

Calamity, don't you love it when you get in so much exercise without having to think about it, like when you zoo walked? I'll do my best to help archive.

Dahli, our weather has been ever-changing this past month, sometimes changing from quite warm to cold within an hour's time. Finally, the warm and cold fronts collided last night, and we had a big thunderstorm, with a smaller one today.

6/30 -- 60 minutes (weights with trainer)
7/1 -- 0 (nothing but walking with my dog since the gym was closed)
7/2 -- 0 ditto (but I do get at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours walking in every single day so even though I'm counting these days as "0" I'm still getting some exercise!)

Seamonkey! I am glad to have you here!

Yankee, I think you should count the walks. I would!

As you can see, I'm home from the beach. I had such a beautiful time. I wish I was still there. Forget homesick, I'm beachsick! I miss the ocean already!

I did a lot of walking by the ocean, as you'll see when I post my times below. Most days I walked twice. Once in the morning with my aunt and cousin-in-law, and again in the afternoon or evening by myself. It was lovely!


Tuesday, June 29- walking- 120 minutes; swimming- 20 minutes; total- 140 minutes

Wednesday, Julne 30- walking- 120 minutes; swimming- 30 minutes; Yoga- 20 minutes; total - 170 minutes

Thursday, July 1- walking- 120 minutes; walk/run- 30 minutes; total- 150 minutes.

Friday, July 2- walking- 90 minutes; swimming- 20 minutes; total- 110 minutes

Saturday July 3rd- swimming; 20 minutes.

Okay, here's the chart from Week 24, which was June 20-26. That week we worked out 50.2 hours (YAY US!) and brought our TTD up to 906.3 hours! We are almost at 1,000 hours!!

week 24

Dahli, I added your June 11 hours to your TTD.

Anyone else sees a discrepancy, let me know. I'll fix it ASAP. :-)

I'm off to do Week 25 now.

Secretsmile, as long as you check in now and then and verify you are still at it, I'll keep you on the chart for 75 minutes a day, 6 days a week. That is AWESOME, by the way. I changed your Total To Date to reflect 4 weeks worth of that.

Seamonkey, I added all your minutes into this week, but did not count them in the current week's total for obvious reasons. I just wanted to get them on board.

I feel a bit confused right now, which is actually my normal state of mind, so PLEASE don't be shy about speaking up if I have messed up anyone's times. It is NO PROBLEM to fix them when i have a minute. I also tried something new with the spreadsheet formulas for adding the TTDs and it got tricky, so again, let me know if you see an error!

Yankee, I swear I will count those walk times. Just say the word!

Typically, if you don't post for a week, I don't put you on the chart at all. I don't do this to make anyone feel bad and remember that I save ALL HOURS so if you have a slack week (or month!), remember when you come back, I will still have all your reported times for your TTDs.


Anyway, for Week 25, we worked out 43.9 hours for a TTD of 950.1 hours!!

week 25

Sat, 7/3 -- 75 minutes (60 minutes Step/Sculpt, 15 minutes weights)

Sun, 7/4 -- 0 minutes

Mon, 7/5 -- 60 minutes (Power Core class)

Hermione, I think the Saturday time would go on the chart above. Also, you're really nice about the walks, but I like to only count my gym time or exercise that's above and beyond my "normal" daily schedule. I don't count the walks because it's just part of my everyday life, living in the city and having a JRT! This way, I can always look and just know how much gym time I got. I don't care if it makes my numbers lower in the end -- it works for me to count it this way! But you're very sweet... Glad you had a great time at the beach! I'm jealous, by the way...

07/03 - Swimming = 60 minutes
07/04 - Yoga Mind & Body = 50 minutes
07/05 - Jump rope / Stretching = 35 minutes

Mak1: Thanks again. And yeah, it's wonderful how something so simple & enjoyable as walking for several hours adds up to a great workout. It's one of the double-edged swords of modern living - we're lucky to have so many labor-saving conveniences but they also contribute to a sedentary lifestyle. Guess it's my inner geek but I really need to set up a new exercise schedule for myself - sorta been winging it lately and I think that's why I haven't been challenging myself. Got a new fitness book from the library to inspire me. Oh, and I've decided my 1AM viewings of Northern Exposure are NOT conducive to getting up early in morning to work out, lol!

Seamonkey: Glad you've joined this thread. It's a terrific group. I often go off on tangents though .

P.S. Hope everyone had a fun weekend/holiday/vacation.

I updated the chart to reflect Calamity's, Denecee's and Yankee's Friday/Saturday times. The latest shows that we worked out 47. 6 hours for a TTD of 953.9 hours.

We are so close to 1,000 hours!

Here is the updated chart for last week-

week25

Part of why I was in such a hurry to get the charts done on time is because sometime tomorrow I will be leaving AGAIN. This time to visit people in both the Tidewater and Blue Ridge areas of the state. I'll be back in a couple of weeks and will catch up the charts then. Have fun ya'll!

7/6: 55 minutes, walk/run, bike, stability ball

Calamity, I loved Northern Exposure! I always go for those quirky shows.

Herm, have a wonderful time! The ocean is my favorite place to be, but the mountains are close on its heels.

The thunderstorm cleared and I got to run! Mak, you asked me to let you know how it is going. I started with 1 minute run/2 minute walk intervals. Tonight I did 2 and 2-- 2 minute run and 2 minute walk intervals. I even made 3 3-minute runs! Tonight I really felt stronger as far as the running goes. I think I completely overdid it my first week and my advice to anyone starting a running program is MODERATION. That word is not in my vocabulary and I paid for that. My knees hurt me for almost 2 weeks and I really had to tone down the intensity. Being at the beach all last week and mainly walking got me ready to try running again and I did good tonight.

Tues. July 6- run/walk; 60 minutes; Yoga- 35 minutes; total- 95 minutes.

Well, again, I'll catch ya'll when I return! BYE! I'll miss you guys!

OK, I know this isn't a chatty thread but I need advice. Had a yearly exam last week, the doctor was quite stern with me about using the ellipical machine, doesn't want me to use it. (I'm too short for any machines and will be using the wrong muscles and could injure myself)

I've kept up with the machine for 30 mins each day since then but he recommended I change to only pilates for an hour and cut the machine out.
Yesterday I walked for 1 hour and 45 mins. in my neighborhood but that isn't going to be possible on a daily basis.

You are all my personal trainers, LOL! Help, what is the right thing to do here?

Herm, I don't mind if you take me off the chart, but I appreciate that you haven't. I'll let you know if my routine changes, which I suppose it should.

Secretsmile, I would follow my doctor's advice. She/he knows more than we do! Is there another reason other than your stature? Or is that the main reason?

If it's just about your height, how about a treadmill for cardio? That doesn't require you to be taller, I don't think.
