Here it is!! The November Abbercise thread. I purpose anyone with anything to say about exercising while abstaining put it down here. If it?s only to say you got off the couch to change the channel, great, that?s a start. If you want to talk about yoga or just ran your first 5k, kudos to you. Know of a great kick boxing video, name it. If you just finished an ironman, you?re on your own?.just kidding. The point being I see all this great progress we?ve made with the support of others. I say we do the same with our exercise habits. Make it a daily habit or maybe every other day, "just do it"!! I realize there is a focus on fitness thread but I somehow feel we are a group with special circumstances and maybe a few more unique issues.

Hiya OMW. I really want to get back into some sort of exercise routine. I walk my dogs everyday twice a day but I dont think thats enough. I need to work a sweat up I think. I need some motivation. The winter here is dark wet and miserable and I have little spare time (most of which is spent here
)) I know, excuses excuses. I must give it a try though!

Hi
I used to post a lot in the past about my tennis workouts and biking.I have been still doing the workouts just not posting will start again.Anyway played a tennis league match this afternoon lost a close match but still had a great time. It was nice being with people who live a healthy lifestyle.This is the kind of change that I needed to help get al out of my life.
Will be doing a 35 mile bike ride with my wife tomorrow .The bike club we joined is having the fall bike festival and it should be a fun time.
Just remember a run around the block will be a lot less painful then the hangovers we used to live with.Just do it what ever it is that gets your heart pumping.

Evening all. Just get out of the house, even if it's just a walk around the block,or paddock. force yourself. have your running/walking shoes by the door. There's a cool bloke in the U.S.A. called John Bingham, aka, 'the penguin'. He has a column in 'runner's world' magazine (great mag), but if you google him, his site should come up. He's an exsmoker/drinker, turned his life around, and now run's marathon's, SLOWLY. He's a battler who's at the back of the pack, but it's his philosophical ramblings about having a go that are priceless. Now...GET OUT THERE YOU LAZY @#$*%^%^&! love to all, G.

huff, puff! I did a very intense couple hours of jiu jitsu today and while I'm very glad I did something odd happened. About an hour in I suddenly got a horrible stabbing headache in the back of my head and behind my eyes. WTF? I drank some water and slowed down a bit and it's very slowly subsiding but I can still feel it. ???
Caysea 35 miles? whew! enjoy.
good to have you all here....nosce te ipsum

Hi all, I was a regular in this thread until things fell apart a couple of months ago!! Glad to see you are keeping up with the tennis and biking Caysea!!
Have been getting back into the exercise over the last couple of weeks. Its a bit easier to do that no as spring has sprung, the days are longer and the weather has made a distinct improvement. I'm having a very lazy weekend though ....... my partner is sick and we haven't done our weekend routine thing of going to the gym ..... of course I could go on my own but I think I'll stay here and smooth his furrowed brow ....:H:H
But 6:30am tomorrow I shall be there!!!

Wow, what a great beginning to the month!
Mame, did you do a tri last month?? How'd it go??
The weather here has been clear and unseasonably warm, going on a long bike ride today before hauling the kidlets to soccer. As weather goes here, it could be snowing tomorrow and this may be my last chance to ride outdoors.Was an alcoholic yesterday, an alcoholic today and will still be an alcoholic tomorrow..... but I'm in charge now!Comment

Okay, we'll try this again for November. I'm glad to see more people adding to the motivation of working out. Every little bit counts, whether it's a walk to the grocery store or a triathlon. Welcome one and all to a new month!!! Exercise is going to be important during these next two months as we will all be piggin' out on lots of holiday food.
I've been very proud of myself in keeping up with my workout regimine. On October 13th, I started working out 6 days a week and have now made it through a 3rd week. Sometimes I feel like on the mornings that I feel the most lazy, when I make myself get up and go to the gym, I actually have one of my better workouts.
And I know I always plug this website, but it's really got me excited: LIVESTRONG.COM - Health, Fitness, Lifestyle. Go visit it, and click on Daily Plate. It's not just about tracking your food intake, it will also tell you how many calories you're burning during your daily activities.When life is more than you can stand...kneel.Comment

Feel a bit of a fraud posting on here - after 54 AF days I slipped up end of Oct and drank on holiday includ 1st Nov. HOwever I'm aiming to abstain again and I'm still exercising and continuing my goal to get fit and run another marathon one day.
Today I swam 36 lengths at 7.30am, I've now lost 13lbs in weight since mid Aug.
Keep going everyone, Part of my problem is I feel really well despite the odd drink during the last week and I'm scared i'll slip back to my old ways !!Comment
