Kim in Appalachia Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 I didn't get to run on Saturday (my dd was sick so I had to take her car for maintenance) and I didn't get to practice yoga Sunday (my dh slept all afternoon, which is the room I do yoga in) Anyway, today I ran on the treadmill, thanks to the pouring rain. I tried to have fun with it, doing various intervals to keep it interesting. It's so much harder to run on that thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday I got a 4 mile walk in the hills of Co Springs before spending the rest of the day in airports. The air there is so clear and crisp. Monday- a nice cobweb clearing 2.5 mile run this a.m. Tonight I have work/play at MMA for 5+ hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yesterday I walked 5 miles while shopping with dd :lol: Today--session w trainer plus elliptical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Popping in to say that I can't wait to get back to a real exercise schedule, but I did go for a 1.5 mile family walk yesterday. I have my six-week postpartum checkup on December 30, so I'm hoping to get started on PT to fix my sad separated abs the first week in January. I can't wait to start running again but I'm afraid that if I start before my abs are in better shape I'll make things worse. I'll just read everyone else's more intense exercise posts with a little feeling of jealousy until then :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Anne, congratulations on the baby! I'm still plugging away. My shoulders are getting much much better. Got a nice sized goose egg on my forehead from MA. LOL Tonight I have work/play at MMA for 5+ hours. 5 hours? Jealous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yoga day. I did an hour of Astanga half primary. It felt good. I'm going to walk 1.5 miles when I take my son to piano. Anne, you'll get there. Enjoy that baby! It always took me 6 week before I felt human again, a few months before I even thought about exercise. That's great that you're thinking about exercise already :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Ran 4 miles this morning. Normally, I've been trying to run 5 on Wednesday's, but I had a dentist appointment scheduled so cut it to 4 miles. Got home, rushed through a shower, then quickly heated up some oatmeal. It was then I saw the message light blinking. The appointment had to be rescheduled because the dentist is sick. Kind of bummed, I would have ran longer. Anyway, it was a good run. I really pushed it because of how tight on time I was. :) My legs were still so cold. So this morning I was looking on Athleta at their Polartec power stretch tight. I think it's similar to Sugoi's SubZero tights. (I have $55 in coupons for Athleta, so I would like to order from there). But Athleta's black tights are on back order till the end of Feb (for my size). I could get blue (Sapphire) but I'm unsure. I'm afraid of what blue tights will look like after a run. Will it look like I've wet myself?? :D I know, a bit silly, but black is very forgiving. I know if it's that cold I won't sweat that much, but still. I can't decide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't decide. i can't imagine that blue would show sweat more than black. I have gray lulumon tights that don't show sweat. Yesterday's schedule was interrupted by my 8 yo stomach virus. I'm just hoping it stays confined to him. Tonight I work/play at MMA for my shift:) I hope to get a run in or some yoga for bjj before hand but it's looking unlikely as I still need to get Christmas shopping done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) This looks like a great kettle bell assisted stretch/exercise. Today I drill bjj with my instructor and then tonight I have 2 classes at MMA. Hope everyone's week is going smoothly.

AnnE-girl Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I couldn't take it anymore and I did my Denise Austin prenatal DVD. I tried the postnatal ab recovery part of the video, but I had to give up on that because the exercises were not good for someone with a separation. I did do the cardio portion because it's pretty gentle and that's the last real workout I did before baby boy was born. I felt a little slow, but generally good. Kim, I'd be hesitant about the blue pants unless they were very dark. But then, I sweat a lot, so I only wear black workout bottoms. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Well, I'll find out about the pants. My dh talked me into getting them. :) i wish I already had them since tomorrow will be below 30. I think I will run on the dreadmill/treadmill. Today was 90 minutes of Yoga primary. It felt so good. I've been spending the afternoon making cookies, so I've also been eating cookies. Not good, the cookies are (they are a cherry almond cookie) but I shouldn't eat this much junk. :tongue_smilie: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Yesterday I had training, walking to/from the gym as College Girl had my car to work 6a-3p. This evening I went to my third bodyweight boot camp class :D I was able to do 10-10-15-17 knee pushups! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rieshy Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I have blood work at 9:00 for a routine physical; the required fasting till then may kill me, Bjj drilling today and I have to make time for kata and thai combo drilling at home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Got 4 miles in on my treadmill, then spent a long time stretching. Today is my youngest son's Christmas piano recital, and when we say good-bye to his teacher. She moving and we'll be trying out a new teacher in January. I'm in a melancholy mood. This is a very small area. It's hard to lose a good teacher and friend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Today I work our school's Goju Shorei testing from 9:30 till 2. Then at 2 I get tested. I only find out 2 weeks ago and I do not feel prepared- i didn't think i was testing again till March. grrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 No running today. I have some sort of stomach bug. I'm hoping I feel a bit better soon. I promised my boys we'd go see Star Wars today. If I don't eat and stick to drinking tea I think I'll make it. Rieshy, so sorry. I hope testing went well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I did the prenatal cardio workout again, plus the strength training portion of the DVD. It feels good. I'm planning to look for some postnatal workout DVDs the next time I'm at the library. Anyone have any recommendations? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Catching up I ran Wednesday and Thursday. I skipped Friday because TMI Alert I had such a heavy period I was afraid to be gone for more than 45 minutes. I did a long run this morning. I wore my cuddle duds under UA. The wind was wicked and it was about 9 degrees with the wind chill. I had to break out the lined mittens and balaclava. The run was good though. My 8 yo has come down with the stomach virus today so whether I run tomorrow depends on how many times I'm awake tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 8 yo had it last week- it was short lived and didn't spread further- I hope your house is well now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
