December Abbercise

Good Morning,

Sausage, I'm happy to hear that you are feeling better. So, you are a swimmer? I so admire those who swim. Although it looks effortless, it is far from that. Happy to hear that you feel better from exercise. If we could bottle the feeling we experience after exercise, no one would ever drink!

Sausage, glad you got your swim in!!! Yesterday i signed up for a spinning class 3 mornings a week and daughter # 2 and I are signed up for a twice weekly kick boxing class. I am going way outside of my comfort zone (group exercising)
I would rather run and by myself. Went hiking today with family, had a great time!!

In the spirit of the Speedo Race today I got out in my Speedos and ran......( not really ! Ha! ) IAD.

oh my!! I dont post for a couple of days and what happens??!!

IAD - where DO you get those pics?????!!!!

Good luck to anyone who wants to become "she who must be obeyed". Uncle Mame snorts with derision everytime I suggest that this is a new goal towards which he should work!!

Mo3 - I am with you on the early morning stuff .......it always feels like a very special time of day for me, particularly in summer. Sunday morning I had a sea swim that was breathtakingly wonderful - blue sky, calm water, a few fishies to keep me company, and the feeling of the world at its best! ....... in training for my 2.8km swim in Jan - and looking forward to the Xmas break to ramp up the exercise a bit.

Thinking I might try to run again and see if my joints can cope ........... the advice about taking it slow is well taken!!

hi ya all, just wanted to say that the last three weeks or so has seen me back at the gym and doing classes. My favourite is drums alive which involves sitting on medicine balls and banging it with drumsticks along to music....great for bingo wings! And also great for my sobriety. I have alot of work issues at the moment and exercise really does take my mind off things. I am afraid i am just a 'as and when' poster on this site but as time goes on (af since middle oct) i find my confidence slipping a little and the 'you've done fine' beast too close for comfort. so, i'm glad i found this thread because exercise is really important to me. Not because of weight issues, just because it releases excellent endorphins. Actually, apparently, they are similar to those found (or the same?) found in chocolate lol!!!

I will try to open up more and not just pop in now and again. Call out to me if i forget because i always do read the posts!!! off now to my spinning class. Think it's cycling, but anyway, here goes!

Been swimming again tonight - had a difficult day, several things went wrong including another car ran into the back of mine and caused damage - but I was not tempted to drink - took out all my frustration by ploughing up and down the swimming pool at night - very relaxing actually although I know my fitness must have deteriorated in the almost 3 weeks I didn't exercise.

Hi All,

Got my last "bootcamp" workout in for the week and will do a 10 mile training run on Saturday. Then, there will probably be no exercise for one week.

I'd have to lie down for a week if I did a 10-mile run. Are you training for a race/marathon Momof3?

I've been struck down by the pre-Christmas lurgy and haven't been to the gym for two days. Maybe it was all that going into the cold air with wet hair after swimming. Don't know if I'll feel like it tomorrow, won't have time at the weekend, then next week it's... Hmm might have a break.

[momof3]

December Abbercise

Yes Marshy, It feels like I am going to have a break next too!

I am training for a 1/2 marathon in March.

Ok, well, it's my first post on this thread (after having read back through all of it I decided it would be ok if I got oon here too!). Anyway, I do 40-60 minues on a treadmill every night on the way home from work, and crunches in the AM before work, I have a tad bit of stomach I want to get rid of. I could say it is heridity (sp) as I am a Germann male..sterotype I know. Weather and sunligh permitting, we ride bikes 75-100 miles each week, sometimes up to 150 per week. Summer it's not hard to keep the stomach at bay. Winter is another story. But on it goes. I have aobut 15 pounds to lose before I will be happy wiht my body again.
So you will probably see me on here more and more.
