Negin Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 No workout yesterday or today. I woke up too late on both days. I'll be on my feet a lot, getting ready for all the cooking, and doing more groceries also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hitting the trail in a little bit when my dad comes to watch the kids. I can count on him to skim the scum off my brown sauce as it goes (today is all day brown sauce making day for Christmas dinner). Later on tonight I am going skating. We are there for 2 hours but I am usually only moving for 90 minutes. My friend is a new skater so I spend some time helping her and chatting. Honestly I am feeling like a new person with my back basically fixed. Stretching is so much better now and I have more fun with all my activity.

Stretching is so much better now and I have more fun with all my activity. Good for You! I went to the gym with my oldest two dds and did 4 miles on the elliptical and then just some pull-ups, core exercising and stretching. Walked a few miles after lunch with my hubby. Taking the next two days off:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shukriyya Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 New here but inspired by all you movin' mamas in previous threads. I'm hoping to do several hour long hikes this week. LucyStoner, what's an all-day brown sauce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Stretching and few yoga moves only. Have to re-do my last-minute grocery list, since the island is all out of eggs. No time for much else today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I've been fighting illness for the last week. First some stomach thing, now I'm getting a cold. I did manage a kettlebell workout on Sunday, and I'm planning on one today. I got new sneakers for my workouts, and I'm excited! I finally bought a pair of NB minimus shoes. I've been wanting them for a couple of years, but when I saw them last week on SierraTradingPost, and they were going to cost me less than $50, I ordered them. They came yesterday and I plan on trying them out today. Early Christmas present for me! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 So I ran with my new shoes! It felt different, but it didn't hurt. I'm hoping by running just a little in these shoes I will help strenghten muscles in my feet and my calves. My kettlebell workout went well too. I did my 1 mile run warmup, then swings and planks, followed by clean-squat-press combo and pull-ups, and finished off with renegade rows and Russian twists.

I've been told by friends that when they first went with more "bare" shoes they cut their mileage way back to acclimate their feet and slowly worked their way up. I had to look up your terms- renegade rows sounded very funny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Heading out for an hour-long hill hike :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Lots of stretching. I need it to hopefully prevent soreness and stiffness from the cooking I'm about to do.Merry Christmas everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Just a quick Merry Christmas to you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look up your terms- renegade rows sounded very funny... I plan on only using them for my 1 mile run warm-up on the treadmill. When you do kettlebell it's best to be in bare feet in order to keep you alignment correct. With these shoes I can run then do kettlebell without taking my sneakers off. I would have to be careful with no support shoes. Right now I run in shoes with moderate control plus I have a pair of Superfeet (like orthodics) in them. I hoping short runs on the soft surface of the treadmill will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started in Martial Arts last Spring I was a bit worried about how my feet would do because we do a lot of barefoot running on the mat for conditioning. I have super high insteps and my ankles have always had a tendency to roll. It's ended up being very positive, after the initial soreness wore off and I think it has really, really strengthened my feet and ankles- though for street running I've decided to stick with very supportive shoes because of my other joints.

shukriyya Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Hey, ladies, I got another hill hike in today :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Nothing today. Woke up late. Ate too much yesterday, but had such fun doing so Hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 After two days of sugar and being a slug it's back to normal. I'm sticking to light veggies and fruits today so did a (early) 3 miles and will add some gentle yoga later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msjones Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Oh my. Lots of treats. No workouts for two (3?) days due to crazy schedules. Back at it today. Plan on 60 min on bike and a walk or stretching routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Hoping to get an hour long hill hike in today but when I check in I realize that I'm only about 80% motivated. Still, that's the plan so we'll see if I can follow through. I'm impressed with all you ladies doing your various work outs involving equipment and dvds. I'm still at the 'get myself out the door and just do something' phase :D But I have to say the hikes are enjoyable. No one to interrupt my stream of thoughts and the landscape is gorgeous.

Mommyfaithe Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Been trying to keep to schedule the best I can. Took Saturday and Sunday as rest days... Monday did cycle and sculpt Can't for the life of me remember what I did Tuesday! On Christmas went for a 4 mike run with my 2 oldest boys. We all got new cold weather running clothes and it was COLD! Today I did a cycle class and a sculpt class. It was a nicer slower paced one than my usual. Definitely did not work off the booze and the extra cookies OR that piece of cheesecake... lol! I am sort of ok with that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hill hike done and it was gorgeous out :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msjones Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Did my 60 min on the bike and 15 min of stretching. Feels good to be back at it. Days off are okay (especially for fun major holidays!) , but I don't feel my best when I'm sedentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Stretches only. I seriously need to eat less and be more disciplined. Sugar and everything else hangover is not fun. It was fun while it lasted, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one to interrupt my stream of thoughts and the landscape is gorgeous. I have come to the conclusion that I run because no one can BOTHER me. It is some blessed time without one single person calling "Mom!" or "Hon!". Off to hopefully do 4 or 5 miles. I tend to just run what feels good and then check to see how far I've gone.

I can't do workout videos because then I have an audience (admittedly a sweet audience) that wants to chat with me. I do take my teens to the gym in the a.m. with me- but it's so early they haven't remembered how to talk yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is me too!! It is why I drag my tired butt to the gym instead of working out at home. I am certainly capable, have the equipment, and like to work out myself. However, my kids have yet to learn that my workout time is sacred. Do NOT disturb! So, off to the gym I go!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Few yoga sequences and other moves. I wanted to do some rebounding, but just couldn't face doing that. Amen!!! I can't do workout videos because then I have an audience (admittedly a sweet audience) that wants to chat with me. I do take my teens to the gym in the a.m. with me- but it's so early they haven't remembered how to talk yet. Susan, are we twins? This is me exactly. I even drive my teens to the gym every morning. :lol: When it comes to working out, I'm a loner and cannot stand others making conversation. I try to be flexible about it at times and laugh at some of their comments, but it can get annoying and I just need that alone time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Took a 4 mile walk with dh. My family is coming for Christmas today so I'm just going to try to keep my eating under control and get back to normal tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 So eating pie is not an aerobic activity? At least the blueberries are good for me. Christmas Day was just a nice walk. The 26th and 27th were stretching only. My son's birthday kept me busy with party prep and cake decorating. Today I am going to do push-ups, crunches and hit the trail for about 3, maybe 4, miles.
