10 minutes exercise bike

TTD: 45 min.
GTTD: 75,655 min.

Thanks, Hermi and Lum and everyone for the cheers, they are really a great boost! You guys make me want to keep going!

Today was soooo hot and with no A/C it took all I could do to get in those 10 minutes. Right now at 1:52AM its still 82 degrees in the house. And that's with all windows open and fans going full blast. So I just got off the bike after 10 minutes and I'm soaking with sweat. Now I've gotta jump in a cool shower. Well, jump might be an exageration! LOL

Lum, you are so right. I went from being very active when we lived in our old house. I actually loved being outside in my neighborhood and in my yard and I miss being able to do that. Plus that house had a whole heck of a lot more room than what I have here. So yeah, I've been very inactive for almost 2 years but especially since I broke my leg last year. I'm pretty sure I won't be dancing ever again if I don't get in better shape and use that leg more. But mostly I've got to do cardio/lose weight or the diabetes will take over and probably maim or kill me. The doc was pretty stern with me so that shook me up enough to get on this bike everyday no matter how much I hate it.

Twinkie, I think the biking is a good choice. It's non-impact.

And honestly, if you only do 3 minutes, that's 3 more minutes than you'd done if you hadn't gotten on that bike!!! I am a big fan of doing SOMETHING -- no matter what the "time" is. And soon, you'll notice those minutes getting easier and easier... conditioning your body, heart, lungs... I'm very proud of you!

Hey Twink, do you like to read anything in particular? I think that and TV are the two best ways to have time fly by.
At my gym, they have TVs so I watch when I am there.
At the gym in my bldg, there are also TVs but most times I just take a book or magazine if I am not going to be riding fast.
when you occupy your mind with something else, you won't believe how much time will pass.

Twinks, I bet if you were on the bike at the same time as your favorite TV show was on, you would forget all about the clock.

If you're watching something you like and you are pedalling at a strolling pace, I am sure the time will fly by.

I want to run tonight but it is currently 90 degrees here and is still supposed to be in the upper 80s by 8 p.m. If I get up in the morning, it will be in the low 70s. But I am not a morning person..... Ugh. What to do?

Oh, this guy I know asked me if I wanted to run a half-marathon with him in early September. I don't think I will be ready by then, but I am flattered he asked! Maybe I will go cheer him on.

Doesn't matter what's on TV....the time is right below it on both the VCR and the cable box! And at a strolling pace?? Shoot, I'm pedaling like I'm in the Tour de France! LOL

Yay Twinkie! Keep at it!! It will get easier, I promise!

So, I ran this morning and it is probably the earliest I have exercised in YEARS. But it was definitely easier in the cooler temperatures. Please tell me I am not going to have to make a habit of this!

Today- 80 minutes running, 20 minutes walking, 10 minutes stretches, total = 110 minutes

TF06 = 6,415 minutes
GTTD - 76,320 minutes


Oh, and I talked to my friend last night and we are going to shoot for a half-marathon at the end of September instead of Labor Day weekend. He thinks I can do it. He said he trained in one month. Can you guys imagine?? A half-marathon. Me! Gosh.

Hey, Sea, don't congratulate *me*. *You* are the one who probably racked up at least 50% of those thousands of minutes.

Hermi, I have every confidence in you, you can do it!!!!!! Gor for it!!! You won't have to make a habit of it, you'll just have to get up early to do your training if you want cooler times.

Aye, Twinks, you're doing good, girl! As we say in German "small livestock makes manure, too" (probably loses in translation). It means little by little you'll get there, too and you have passed that first hour already. YAY!!!!!!!!

Today's trickle: 45 mins

Dang, Juju, thanks! All of you guys make me want to keep going! So much encouragement! If I keep doing this I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone: lose weight and look better and lose weight and get the diabetes under control. Yippee!! Now I need to get back up to at least 20 minutes a day but its so freaking hot...I may have to get up in the middle of the night to get on the bike! LOL

Hermie, I'm not a morning person at all but I have to admit that this summer I've been forced toward that by taking a class that only happens at 9am and having my 3:30pm class moved to 11am and now, I want to stick to that type of schedule!

Twinkie I love seeing your numbers climb! You are earning your yellow Tour Shirt!

Oh.. my mom used to have trouble sleeping (she had emphysema/copd and was in her late 70s and her days were full of breathing sessions and other activities), so she'd finish reading the paper and then walk a mile inside the house, pushing her oxygen tank. She found those wee hours to be a good time for that and then she often could get to sleep, too.

In Circuit Training, our teacher has added in 30 second "sprints" at the end of each 3 minute seqment It really is kind of fun and I find I'm improving.. however, yesterday I was going all out on the treadmill, elliptical and bike to reach new personal highs and overdid it a bit.. felt a bit lightheaded.. so today I changed strategy and just did the sprint, fast, but didn't look to see mph, revolutions or whatever.

07/18:

40 minutes walking (actually last night)
50 minutes Longevity Stick
55 minutes Circuit Training

TF06 = 9,350 minutes
TTD = 27,438 minutes
GTTD = 76,670 minutes

Lumbele, I am making that my new life motto: Small livestock makes manure too. How do you say that in German?
