exercise daily

I didn’t star today but I do have more hour in this day anyway

walking 2km to work and 2 km back… not to mention SCUBA diving everyday for work, and carrying tanks, etc… I have accomplished excercising everyday :-)

To see me now you would never believe that at one time I was a vegetarian and a health nut. I relocated from NYC to Virginia 13 years ago and while I have excelled in many other areas of my life, my attention to myself has all but dwindled to being not existent. I want some aspects of my old self back, especially the health concious, always scrutinizing, watching what I ate health nut that I had been for 15 years before I moved!!! I mean, being 42 counts for something right???

Todays the day! It’s possible…I have the motivation – I’ve gained 15 pounds since Christmas!!!

Now if I can just lift all of this TUSH that keeps following me around….LOL

I’ve been in my happy love bubble and haven’t been exercising, unless vigorous lovemaking can be exercise… Stephen did do pilates with me with me once and we went to the beach and played frisbee too, but I need to get back on my exercise routine.

I finally bought an exercise ball so I can do crunches again!

arm exercises
50 ballet plies
10 lunges/leg

I’ve been doing this consistently for 4 months. I signed up for a couple of classes at my gym – both 4 on 1 with a trainer. One is for kettlebell (which I highly recommend – I also recommend getting a certified KB instructor to show you how to do the exercises – I tried on my own, and the instruction has helped immeasurably) and another one that addresses general training and Olympic weightlifting techniques.
On off days of active rest, I take my dog for long (3-4 miles) walks – and also just go for walks myself.
I’ve lost 30 pounds since the first of the year – but more importantly, I can see where this is going, and that I have a lot of fitness goals that I can actually attain.

did yoga two times this week and went swimming once, may go again tomorrow.

I’m not really exercising daily, but I’m making a concious effort to do something a little more physical everyday. At lunch time when I was in school, I’d get up and walk around campus before returning to the classroom. I took the stairs even when I didn’t need to and I walk around the family property all the time, even if I just go for water I walk the long way around. Instead of calling my friend on the phone, I walk over to her house. Its just about 50 yards from my front door but it keeps me from being just sedentary all the time. Now that I finished school I’m wondering how I can maintain and increase my exercise. I plan to walk 1 mile a day minimum before school , walk around campus and take the stairs constantly. I may also participate in some of the workout programs they offer at my college.

With house hunting taking up every available hour of the day, I haven’t given any time to exercise, unless trudging up and down yards of potential houses counts (okay, it doesn’t). Even as the seach goes on, I have to start making a real effort to return to a daily regimen of exercise.
