Negin Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Nothing for me today and the next few days. I had a skin tag removed and need to keep the area dry - hence no perspiration and no showers - tough in this climate, but yet another wonderful reason to be introverted ;).

Mom-ninja. Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Did my first HIIT since injuring my knee. Holy Smokes. I almost died. Will definitely have to rest my knee tomorrow. Followed by a quick core wo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Wet, rainy, windy run (seems like that should count double) and a short 20 minute Kettlebell routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommymilkies Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I weeded the garden for like 4+ hours yesterday and then did 40 minutes of Jill Miller stretches/yoga at night. I want to go for a run today if it doesn't rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 My knee feels great. :hurray: Wonderful :D! I was thinking of your knee earlier today. Since you and I have quite similar taste, and please, anyone else here, who knows, would love your feedback - has anyone tried the Slim Series? http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/slim_series.do Thank you :). I'm tempted, but I do know that I need a new program/bunch of DVDs like I need a drill to my head :lol:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Guess what? I walked for 45 minutes tonight! Woohoo! I met a friend to talk about her trip to Mexico (she was at swim practice with her middle child), so we walked while we talked. Twice in one day. I wonder how I'll feel tomorrow... :confused1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Nothing for me all weekend or today. I have a sore lower back, not a crisis, just giving me a Zing when I bend just the right way. So, I am resting it until it shuts up. I threw my back out a couple years ago so now I respect the pain, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 We had our Mount St. Helens climb today. I will probably be in a coma for the rest of the week, so that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 monday - 2 1/2 hours of weeding on a slope. (there are parts I get to do a mt. goat impression.) the soak in a *really* hot bath felt good. I refuse to count weeding as a workout this summer though. tuesday - yoga, and more weeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Quick JM kickboxing cardio. My go-to backup when I need something fast and not have to think about it. I'm so happy to be able to jump around again. So happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Tuesday- nothing, nada, lumpy day:) Wednesday- 3.64 miles with dd running 9 min. walking 1 minute, times 3. I couldn't figure out why run/walking with my dd is so much harder than running w/o walking on my own. On my own I only run. Then I realized that on my own my average pace is 11 1/2 minutes per mile. With my dd we averaged 9.64 minutes per mile with the walking included in equation. Suddenly I don't feel so geriatric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I was away again last week. I did manage to be able to run most days. My folks live in a very hilly area, so I was feeling it. I also was able to practice Yin yoga most nights. My cute little nephew (he's 3) has a yoga for kids Youtube routine saved on his tablet. He was using his tablet to do yoga in his room like his Aunt Kimmy :001_smile: He melts my heart. Now I'm home and trying to decide how my summer schedule will work. I take the kids swimming 3x's a week. I normally run while I'm there, but last year I swam a bit too. I don't want to swim, but I was thinking of making use of their weight room. I could do most of the exercises I do with kettlbell but with dumbells. I'll have to see how I feel. Yesterday I ran 3 miles in the heat, today was 4 miles in the rain.

Snickerdoodle Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm still plugging away. This is my active rest week so the WO are lighter. Today is WO, MA and stretch and roll. Right now I feel a little raw from some hard stretch sessions but little by little I am seeing progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 You are all doing great! I still have an owie back and...as of yesterday we have lice. Or, actually as of yesterday I was made aware that we have had lice for a while. So...yeah.... not really exercising. Does laundry count? I have to do it carefully due to my back. DH and I spent the evening nit combing each others hair and washing towels instead of working out. So romantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 I thought that I'd be able to start working out again from today or tomorrow, but it doesn't look like it. It's very hard to keep that particular area as dry as possible - especially in this climate. I still have an owie back and...as of yesterday we have lice.

Mom-ninja. Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yikes! Hope you're able to rid the lice quickly. I did half of my wo this morning. Had to stop to take ds to swim lesson. Got up late because I was up late with one of the boys who couldn't sleep. Then my 5 yr old came in to snuggle this morning and we all know that takes priority over exercise.

Mom-ninja. Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Oh, I tried Think Thin protein bars. They are gf and 20 g protein. Soy and whey protein so not good for those who can't have that. Good for me though cause they are gf. Taste is pretty good. I like the chocolate fudge flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 5 mile run yesterday, followed by some core work, and a 5 mile run today. Summer is keeping me busy. I plan on doing lots of running, but probably not much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for me though cause they are gf. Taste is pretty good. I like the chocolate fudge flavor. Yes, I try to avoid soy when I can, but I'm struggling to meet minimum protein recommendations, so figured it's a trade off. :) I'll have to try that kind-I've only had the peanut ones I linked. I did a ~5 mile bike ride with the family, then started week 2 of Run! Zombies! 5k. And I did a little bit of strength work after with the kettlebell and planks. I had a pretty bad past couple of days from something I ate, so I haven't done much this week. Dh has band stuff tomorrow so I'll have more time to exercise.

rieshy Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Open mat today. I am so sore I feel like a train hit me in my sleep- but I don"t want to miss any martial arts this month because we will be traveling and missing a lot in July. Afterwards it's a family-day-work picnic. Hopefully with hiking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
