Mom-ninja. Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 New week, new start for exercise. :001_smile: I'm still holding my little guy 24/7 as he fights his illness. This is day 4 of a fever. Hopefully, it won't last much longer. I'm not able to put him down to even go to the bathroom let alone workout. Will someone run for me?

StephanieZ Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Just curious, what is your post race reward meal? Is it ? Omg, that is truly the most disgusting, least appetizing, this I have ever seen! What I actually ate was a banana and a lemonade. Then after sleeping and bathing, not in that order, dh and and I went to a really awesome Italian place for dinner. I had fried zucchini, cream of roasted red pepper soup, salad, and about one bite of the pasta I had ordered because I was full. I also had the best lemonade I'd ever had, two glasses, and a few sips of dh's malbec (the best red wine ever, an Argentinian wine similar to Pinot noir, but better). I was sad that I filled up so fast. I was planning on eating much more. A few hours later I had the leftover amazing bread and butter that I had not even tasted. Now we are going for bagels. I will eat like crazy for another 24 hours if similiar experience is repeated. I get famished for about 36 hours post runs over 15 miles or so. Thanks for your encouragement, ladies!

This is on my wish list Not sure if you'll like Iron Yoga. I didn't care for it much at first. It's grown on me.

StephanieZ Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 FYI, ladies, I wanted to makes to share my marathon race report with y'all. :) It has pg-13 language, and some other coarseness (G-d references, etc), so don't go there if that might bother you. I learned about couch to 5k here on WTM boards, so I wanted to give you all a shout out for encouraging strangers to exercise. It was the best thing that's happened to me in my non-family related life as an adult. http://couch2marathonmom.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 StephanieZ, I will be visiting to read for sure. And congratulations on running the marathon! And I agree about exercise. Today-Long Run, ran 5 miles and felt like going 6. For some reason I had all this energy this morning. But I just went five and bolted the last half-mile. THAT took care of the excess energy.

I've been feeling so blah from this past 6 days taking care of my sick ds. So, it was nice to actually feel my heart pumping and got the feel good running juice flowing. :001_smile: I'm going to try and get in another workout later. However, we need to catch up on lessons so.... I just bought Hot (Sweaty) Mamas and got it yesterday. I heard about it on the weekly book thread. I'm excited to read it.

Negin Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Rebounding Some of the many benefits of rebounding: Vigorous workouts like rebounding have double the heart benefits of mild exercise. Rebounding helps the lymphatic system. There are many symptoms of a congested lymphatic system - heart disease, high blood pressure, varicose veins, and so many others. Rebounding builds stronger bones.

Mom-ninja. Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 It is indeed. It's the first time in my life that I can run for even five minutes without feeling like I'm dying. I remember that moment for me. 5 minutes doesn't sound like a lot of time but when you're running and not used to it 5 minutes is an eternity. Keep it up and soon you'll be able to run for 30 minutes easily. Then perhaps longer. I haven't gotten past the 45 min mark. The biggest reason is time restraint. That's the thing about home schooling....I have to be the teacher. :tongue_smilie: I did not run today. Yesterday I ended my run by tripping on my carpet and twisting my ankle as I fell gracefully to the floor. At least I'll stick with the story of me falling with grace. I'm sure in reality it didn't look so graceful. :lol: So I decided to take it easy on my slightly sore ankle and not run. I did Bar Method Super Sculpt II. I like this better than some of the others. It's long though at 58 minutes, and I was interrupted about 5 times by my 3 yr old. At one point while I was doing the butt lifts while on my back, he decided he needed to nurse. So there I was exercising and nursing at the same time. It made us both laugh. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rebounder came with a free DVD. It helped to give me some ideas, but it's a bit annoying to use regularly. I have a routine that I do to my favorite music. I love it - the computer's on and I enjoy watching photos on the slideshow while I bounce and do different moves while listening to music. I've viewed lots of rebounding DVDs on TotalFitness and Collage - have yet to find something I really like. You Tube (like the Tracy Anderson one you mentioned) has lots of good ideas also.
