Negin Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hi everyone. I've missed you :grouphug: . I'm trying to get back into it after an awful few days of a never-ending migraine. About to do a Jane Fonda Walk and already did some rebounding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hi everyone. I've missed you :grouphug: . I'm trying to get back into it after an awful few days of a never-ending migraine. About to do a Jane Fonda Walk and already did some rebounding. Sorry you have been feeling rough. I've done my usual walking this week - last weekend I took off to nurse an incipient cold. Today is annual wood splitting day. We rent an electric wood splitter, but it's still a lot of heaving of logs. It will take us four or five hours in all. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hi everyone. I've missed you :grouphug: . I'm trying to get back into it after an awful few days of a never-ending migraine. About to do a Jane Fonda Walk and already did some rebounding. My mom used to have those- ugh. Yesterday I went to another jujitsu seminar ran by Kelley Farrell. She is the most amazing teacher and afterwards I got to free roll with a bunch of different higher ranking belts. It was amazing. And a great workout. Later yesterday afternoon I did a 3 mile walk, jog, and then sprint workout. Today is a rest day:) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Laura, Log splitting sounds fun. Hope you have all your fingers today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Laura, Log splitting sounds fun. Hope you have all your fingers today. I like purposeful exercise. Hobbes is feeling better after a tummy bug, so he, Calvin and I are doing it. I'll probably only do three hours in all, plus some gardening. Husband has put his back out and is having to opt out this time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thank you, Rieshy and Laura. I get them a few times a year max. They're awful. Laura, I agree. I love purposeful and functional exercise. Hope your husband's back feels better soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Yesterday was 90 min of Aerial, most of my body is sore today. Last week was a very rough one between PMS and a cold I was happy to get a couple of short walks in. Fingers crossed this week is better, it has been rather slow going and I'm still miles away from where I was this summer, it is so frustrating as I know I just keep losing muscle the longer it goes but I just don't have it in me. Here's hoping this is a new and great week. My goal is to get in at least one other session of bodywork work- pushups and pullups at least, that didn't happen last week but I did get it in the week before. I'd also like to get some walk in nearly every day. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Ended up being more like five hours. Both boys ran out of energy. Husband is coming down with Hobbes' tummy bug. 13,000 steps without leaving the garden. Enough wood split for the winter. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 It's been raining all weekend, so no tennis so far. I've walked the dogs several times and been a lump for most other times. ;) Dh suggested getting our walk-in closet sorted out so we could finish flooring in there, so we may get to that if we don't nap first! :laugh: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Negin~:grouphug: migraines are awful Laura~log splitting is one of those memories from childhood I'd as soon forget. Glad you are done. Reishy~the only free roll I want is covered in cinnamon Soror~hang in wintermom~closet sorting...shudder... Yesterday I tried out a circuit interval training class. Meh. It was ok but not all that. Today I took a run in the glorious cool morning. It's another week full of dad care, apartment sorting and the usual kid even/class running along with teaching co-op and a couple yoga classes. Oh, and I suppose they will want to eat and wear clean clothes too. My family is a demanding lot. :laugh: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've been sick for a week. I decided to do my P90X routine this week because I don't want to be out in the cold with the sniffles. Push ups and pull ups today. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I walked yesterday, a decent one too, it ashamedly kicked my butt but it is what it is. I had planned some body work today but I'm still pretty sore, so we'll see. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've been MIA due to school starting and then a lovely sinus thing last week. I've been hitting the gym while dd is at the university for Arabic :) Yesterday: 6.5 mile walk w dh (4 miles the long way to our downown for produce and meat shopping at the farmers' market and then fish tacos!, 2.5 miles home) Today: massive shoulder stretching before training session at gym 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Ran 3mi this morning. Decided to switch things up and go the other way around my route. Totally loving the cooler air and low humidity. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 3 mile run this morning. It was very chilly. I was hoping for a yoga class tonight, but I don't think it will work out. :( 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Walked the dogs a couple times, and played some doubles tennis this evening. I'm off to see a play tonight!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeghansMom Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Sorry for your migraine! I walked 2.5 miles today at once. I even jogged a bit. :hurray: Going to keep jogging here and there as much as I can. My knee buckled quite a bit, going to get a knee brace. Tomorrow I have strength training and cardio. My goal is to do strength training three days a week and cardio five to six. I get really stiff in my joints and my right side still suffers from parathesia. So I was surprised when I could jog a bit. On wards and upwards. :lol: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Zumba. Stupid charger is broken on the Fitbit AGAIN, so I don't know how many steps in addition. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Today: 50 or so minutes of mixed cardio (elliptical, bike, rowing machine) at the gym while dd's on campus for Arabic 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I got in a walk (which was much less pathetic yesterday) and then last night I did 3 rounds of squats/pulls/ and push-ups. I felt better yesterday than I have in 6 wks, I hope, hope, hope that I'm past this little set-back. Today my aim is another walk and some light yoga. I've not been making it to classes (1) there haven't been any night classes until this week and we've been busy with school during the day and (2) I've just not felt that good and I've been happy just to have energy to get through the day which didn't always happen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I couldn't finish my workout yesterday. I'm more ill than I realized. See you next week! Hopefully... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No More Perfect Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Feel better, Slache! :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: I'm done with the mass building program from Fitness Blender this week. I need to find a new program; I'm getting bored. Can't get to a gym right now and I'm looking for cardio and strength training. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Slache, I hope you feel better. Yesterday- 2 mile morning walk, then 5+hours on the mat for both work and my classes. Today- co-op day and tonight one martial arts class. Wish I could squeeze a run in or some katas but doubt it will happen. Love the colder weather. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yoga this morning, hoping for a walk later today. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Can I join in? I'm just recently trying to get fitter, and managed a mile of brisk walk/ shambling "run" this morning and yesterday morning, now that summer has broken and it's possible to be outdoors. Feels pretty good. Dh thinks I should join the nearby gym or Y for the endless summer months when swimming is the only option; but I've never been to a gym and can't even figure out from the classes offered what I'm looking for. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Welcome, Violet Crown. Didn't make it to yoga tonight - was meant to try out (another) new class, but was feeling a bit flu-like and shaky. Not sure what to think about this - I keep having flu-like symptoms that come and go (congestion, shivers, weakness). I suspect that it's stress and that it will pass. Anyway. Will take the dog for a gentle two miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Sorry Laura. Take it easy. It could still be flu. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Get well soon, Slache! I know I had a sinus thing last week and it kicked my butt a bit I'd get fevery feeling for a bit after it seemed to have past. I did get in a walk yesterday, ya! Today is another walk and bodyweight work- I'm aiming for 3 rounds of push/pulls/squats. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaraby Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 2.7 mile run today. I tried taking our Golden with us, but that only lasted two blocks. Between the kids on their bikes and the dog trying to catch up to the kids, it was more than I could handle. He went back home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Work/play at MMA tonight. Missed my walk and my run today:( Mamaraby- I've never had a dog I could run with, always thought it would be nice but it's never worked for me and my dogs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 He's great with dh because he runs faster than I do. I think part of it was the fact that the kids were off in front on their bikes, and he really wanted to catch up. He does need better leash manners, though. If you run faster than molasses on a cold day, then you can borrow him any time. You'd do fine, lol. ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 One and a half mile shamble this morning. Cut short by sudden heavy rain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymilkies Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I couldn't finish my workout yesterday. I'm more ill than I realized. See you next week! Hopefully... I hope you feel better. And Laura, you too! My teen dd and I went to the Intro Krav Maga class Monday. Well, that totally stomped me. Luckily it's a review week in the Beginners class, so it probably was the best time to try. I felt like a total wimp, you know those dreams where you just hit at the speed of a snail and just as gently? :lol: But it was fun. We are signed up for one month before we move. My dd actually jammed her toe during class just while running (!) so we aren't going back until tomorrow so she has time to feel a little better. I finally got my child bike seat, so 4.5 miles on Sunday and another 7 miles today. I'm not walking very much according to my fitbit, despite spending every day at the zoo or museums for hours and hours. I think maybe it's messed up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I couldn't finish my workout yesterday. I'm more ill than I realized. See you next week! Hopefully... That's too bad. I'm in the same boat, but I'm not even attempting any work-outs or walks. Getting downstairs for my coffee in the morning is my exercise for the day. I'm really hoping this flu/cold thing goes away very soon. I had to drop out of my competitive tennis match today, too, which was a disappointment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Walk and 3 rounds of bodyweight work+ core, I even ran a hair, first time I've been up to running at all since I crashed 6 wks ago, so I'm calling it a victory. today's plan: walk core light yoga 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Get well everyone! Mommymikies- Krav Magra fascinates me. Last night: got to roll, on the end of the MMA work day- boy am I sore and out of coffee. This morning: 5K walk with dh, that I really just wanted to sleep through. Tonight: double MMA classes and then kettle bell class. Since school started I've not figured out how to get core work or Kata practice in. I hope I get a better routine going soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For weeks - no wonder you're wondering what's going on. That's not fun. Do you have any seasonal allergies, or other allergies? I've got them, and the symptoms can effect me for weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got them, and the symptoms can effect me for weeks. No, no allergies that I know of. Maybe something new. That would be a pain. We live in the countryside, and the pollen varieties are numberless. I'll wait until I finish the medicine in a week or so, then see how things are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymilkies Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Mommymikies- Krav Magra fascinates me. It's really cool. I haven't done any martial arts since I was a kid and my dd has taken several years of aikido. It's such a different style and fully about defense at all costs. My dd has a habit of being too nice, so I think it's good for her to learn not to be nice to your attacker if you're truly in danger. But we shall see. I know I just couldn't hit her when we were practicing. The teacher kept telling me to hit harder and I'm like "She's my KID I can't hit her!" because my muscles just were not cooperating. lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Everyone feeling under the weather-I hope you feel better ASAP. I ran yesterday and today. I think I'll skip yoga tonight. I am so tired I'm nodding off waiting for ds to finish ballet. I teach yoga tomorrow morning and that may be all I do. I ink stress is probably wearing me down. I'm trying to avoid alcohol and pop for a bit but wine or Pepsi sounds pretty darn good. Oh, and I have two zits on my chin. Nothing like a 52 year old sharing acne cream with her 17 yo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't ever get teen acne. Only adult. :glare: Krav Maga tonight. It was ok. Not quite as basic, a lot of us in the class actually seemed confused by new things (new teacher). But I feel like I got less of a workout than last time. I got almost my whole 10,000 steps in. I walk for hours a day straight besides normal around the house stuff, so I'm not sure how I don't get in the 10,000 even on zoo and museum days? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is no heel strike, pedometers often miss them. I find. I bet the times when you are striding between exhibits is recorded. If I am carrying a full cup of tea, no steps are recorded, because I am walking in a deliberately smooth way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
