Since purchasing a membership (again) for my local recreational center, I’ve worked out at their gym 3-5 times a week on average. That was late December. I’ve started to even get myself going more often. I’ve been doing 30-40 minutes of cardio and then working on stretch machines, focusing on my arms and abdomen. I’d like to learn some mat exercises at home though so that I can include more strength training without feeling embarrassed about not knowing what I’m doing. Guess I’ll have to start looking all of that up! I have no idea whether I’ve lost any weight, but I do think it’s been helping a bit. I think that, while I still eat somewhat poorly at times, my eating schedule is better. I do eat more after a workout sometimes but I usually don’t feel the desire to eat all throughout the day if I worked out the previous night.
I will post more follow-ups in a few months, or maybe in the summer, and hopefully I’ll have weight-loss news to share :) 6 hours ago
and now I should pay more attention at home. I got as birthday present a 10 times card to pole dance studio (the same where I have gone earlier). Today I visited one gym and got offer, but I think it’s still too expensive since I don’t have a job. However I got 2 times free card :)
The pole is back up at home and my plan is to do something (almost) daily. 3 days ago
I should probably change this goal from Exercise More to Exercise, since I’ve been lazy. I was able to lose a few lbs before by diet and not exercising but then gained the weight back probably because I didn’t follow an exercise routine. (sigh!)
Gonna try to work on this goal later today. Time for that old treadmill to be worked out on. 3 days ago
should offer some incentive for longer walks :). 1 week ago
I have not yet started excercising, shocking? Not really, I tend to do this a lot. Procrastinate.
Next week. Next week. Next week.
I promise!
P90 here we go.. 1 week ago
Our winter in Montreal this year has been extremely mild. The snowfalls we’ve had so far have been quite small and light; often not even staying on the ground for more than a day or two.
Well, Mother Nature seems to have changed her mind and dumped quite a significant snowfall on us yesterday and last night. Luckily it’s been mostly fluffy snow and not heavy wet stuff, so it’s easier to work with.
So I got up quite early this morning to clear off the car, shovel it out and moved it to a much clearer parking spot on my street. Even though I don’t intend to really go out, at least it will make it easier to clear when the freezing rain might fall in the next day or so and then freeze solid.
I also shovelled the end of the driveway that is not sheltered by the “Tempo” driveway tent. I also did my random good deed for the day and shovelled my neighbour’s walkway and steps for them. (I normally can’t handle that much shovelling, but the light snow made it easier to do a bit extra for someone else.)
I hope I didn’t overstrain my back; ever since I had that fall on the ice last winter, I have to be really careful of my back, since I already had an old back injury and that just exacerbated it all the more.
So anyway, I got my winter “snow-cersice” in for the day. Hopefully it won’t dump too much more in the next few days; but there’s no telling with Mother Nature! ;-) 4 weeks ago
Can’t exercise the way I’m used to because of several knee injuries in recent years; now I’m going in for knee surgery #5…gotta find a way to get back in shape…swimming? I hope I can… 1 month ago
I do exercise a lot more with Cheerleading, but it’s still not enough for a weekly workout! 1 month ago
