'Tis Friday!

Hooray! It's Friday! Now, let's report on our week. I swam laps during Levi's swim lessons on Tuesday and Thursday. Is it bad that I get a thorough workout (heart rate ~160bpm) during only a 20 minute swim? 5 minutes of which are using a kickboard? Ugh. Someday my cardiovascular fitness will improve. I just don't know when. Also, I restacked the wood pile. Some former owner/resident had done the most pathetic job I've ever seen. Just tossed them all in a pile, not stacking at all. So, Wednesday and Thursday I restacked wood, swept underneath, and cut some of it with a sawzall. Some of it needs to be split, but we'll save that for when I can find the hatchet. As an encore, Levi (who had been directing and encouraging me while I was stacking) used the pile as a drum set. Start with the cowbell (1..2..1,2,3,4) and finish with the cymbal. Hopefully the video will be on the blog soon, so stop by and check it out. It is certainly a flourishing way to cap off a workout. You should try it sometime. What did you do this week?

Friday, Already?

Has the week flown by for you? Wow, I can't say I did as well on the exercise front as I did the last couple of weeks, but I had a packed week filled with adventure! Mother Nature had come a calling, and I got my first mammogram. Hopefully just a baseline. But, things are getting back on track today, as I am ready to do do my cardio! How did you guys do?

This cartoon cracks me up... hope it gives you a good laugh too!

Okay, It's Friday!!!

I believe that both of you Ladies are going to the Y regularly. I would love to hear how it's going? Do you like going? Do you go to different Aerobic classes, Lift weights or just do Cardio?
I started the Biggest Loser Workouts this last Saturday and have done either the Cardio. or the Sculpt everyday, but yesterday (finishing a root canal was enough). But, right after this post, I'm off to do it for today!
I weighed myself the other day, and even though I am 6 lbs less than at the beginning of the year, going in the right direction, I'm hoping with more working out I can start to feel more of a difference. So, instead of a large goal. I am setting a small one. I would like to loose five more pounds! I would set a date, but I've noticed that I'm gaining some much needed muscle. I thought it would be good to have a goal, and record it to see how much time it takes for me to accomplish the goal.
Miss L, are you still planning to walk in the 5K? If so, I would like to sign-up. There will most likely be no running from me, but a good walk would be good! Do you have the details?
And, Lastly... are you gals eating differently? I've cut back, but am thinking about how to take it to the next level. Any ideas?
