Exercise club

[Woowoo]

Good idea, make the most of the opportunity, whilst it's there. It is more difficult when you're working long hours (that's my excuse anyway!!)

I did 20 minutes of light exercise just now, feel great after it

Again-- did Stair-climbing today.
@DouglasW
I have to really thank Douglas for introducing this thread. Because otherwise I would not have been motivated to do exercise. So this thread serves as an Incentive.

Hey, everyone! Correcting my starting point, this is day 12
Still maintaining my exercise plan, which is 30 to max 1h cardio + floor exercises. Eating healthier but still have a sweet tooth, so I don't really know how much progress am doing. Ugh... Have to check in more often as it keeps the mind focused on the goal.

I was thinking, does anyone know how to overcome self-image distortion? A year ago I was in the best shape of my life, I had a completely healthy weight, not too much not too little, and muscle. But I kept seeing myself same as many years ago when I was extra chubby also I heard a voice in my head telling me that I am really fat and that I am disgusting to people... Not like an actual voice, but more like thoughts that were not mine.
This year I have gained a few pounds and can't really fit in some last years clothes, and I see how okay I was, and can't believe I was complaining. And that was not the first time. I have gotten in and out of shape many times, and almost every time I gain back because I think I'm not losing anything.

Ive never cleaned out a horsepen (thank god!) but sounds like very good exercise.

Instead of riding the Bus, I walked to get to the grocery store. After I got my groceries I was going to catch the bus to get home. Then I saw that I had just missed it. But then it made me smile. Because it was Nature's way of telling me that I should walk. So I did it again. lol

Hi thanks...was two full wheelbarrow fulls....that was my excuse at least for not going to the gym...It actually isn't as bad as it sounds as in the outdoors and get to be with horses....

 

[Sassy Cat]

At the gym right now an hour on the elliptical and now on weights *grouphug

 

[Woowoo]

I've done quite a bit (for me) over the past few days. I did a 25 minute walk on Friday and did 7000 steps in total. On Saturday I did a 30 minute walk and walked about 8000 steps in total. Yesterday I went trampolining and walked about 11000 steps and today I've been for a 20 minute walk and done about 9000 steps in total

Have not been great about my walks, but I worked in about 45 minutes of extra walking today with some creative pathfinding during my commute.

Feel my strength returning with tai chi although I have been only to 2 classes. I am re-learning meditation and blocking outside thoughts. Maybe to the gym this weekend. I have motivation now.

Lol sorry I read that and had to laugh, creative pathfinding is my term i used for being totally lost (and not wanting to admit it) before : P
