WORKING OUT FOR DISNEY

Hi all! It's been a while

Trying to get in shape in time for my trip to Oahu and Aulani (see ticker).

Ice skating definitely helped, but definitely still work to do. Did some my Pilates DVD Monday. Took Tuesday off. And then came down with a sinus infection yesterday. I was so achy that I thought it best not to exercise. Once we hit our deductible, need to go see the ear nose and throat doctor who took my tonsils out when I was 13 to find out why I'm getting so many sinus infections and colds.

After I get over this, will make sure to get back into a routine. With it being the last week of classes and finals and final papers rapidly approaching, exercise is even more important to relieve stress. Once the semester is over, I am going ice skating, even if I have to go by myself.

Hope everyone is well!

Hi everyone!! Getting my workout today running errands and finishing up packing then got to wash the car.....I don't think I need to do any more today!!

Welcome back Mr. Ferret and Boomer! Time to burn those Disney calories LOL I bonked my head yesterday so no weights until Friday Funny thing is the bonk happened because I was getting something from a lower cabinet and my ds pulled a drawer out over me! I'm ok just a mild concussion. No driving or weights for another 48 hours! I was told to take it easy. So just a bit of cardio and outdoor walking.

Oops...I kinda know the feeling..My boy had a hot fever last year and about 5.00am he decided to jump into my bed ( his temperture was so high his bed was drenched in sweat ) So after he dozed off, he decided to have a nightmare and accidentally punched me so hard it nearly knocked me out of bed..I got up in the morning sporting a black eye and a bruise on my forehead..I felt unwell all day, slightly light headed...My wife slept thro the whole thing until she saw my face in the morning..lol..However that day I had to take it easy she said..So after a nice jug of Tequila, grapefruit juice, and fresh lime cordial, I felt as right as rain... Try it Figgy...Its great for mild concussion ..

Haven't tried that yet! No tequila in the house, I'm wondering if rum would work?

Why not...Its alcohol.

Well Figgy, we ( our family ) started our diet two months ago...I've lost 5 and 1/4 lbs...Hopefully the good weather will kick in and our walking will be back on schedule .....

After a run of quite bad exercise problems I'm balanced out a bit now, can't do as many classes for medical reasons but Fitbit is helping me manage my goals and keep me on track.

With only 60 days to go I hope to be able to get a little more weight off and hope to stay at some level of fitness, my training courses/ work events are slowing down so I can get back to eating better too.

Hope everyone has had a good workout week

I did a 16 mile horse riding event yesterday, not done one that long in about 10 years, I ache so much right now! But will go for a little stroll later on I think.

Sounds like everyone is getting on well, and WM I agree with the Indian food, it's a killer for the diet.

Well the bungee man is back..Put 3 lb on this week..All that Indian food I reckon...

Hi Kids!!! It's me and I am back at it...

I registered for the Princess 5K in February and Training and Diet start TODAY! I've done a couple 5Ks and I use to run a lot so I hope it's not too bad to get back into it. After the whole ankle thing I've not "stuck" to the running thing like I should but now I have something to work towards. 2017 is the 10K with a friend of mine so this is a good start.

Started Advocare today, I would like to loose 25 but I will be happy with what I get. I have 7 months to get there. My hubby also got me a punching bag this weekend that I am SUPER EXITED about!

I will be going alone and I'm actually really looking forward to it! 2 new Disney experiences in one this trip!

Hope you are all doing well!

Started a couch to 5k program last week to get ready for the January 5k at Epcot. Haven't run for probably 20 years- needless to say, I'll be repeating the week one run/walk for a few weeks before graduating to week two! But this morning, I realized that I knocked off nearly a half a lap distance around the track from my first attempt. There may be hope for me! I would've never considered trying this if I hadn't come to this forum-thanks for getting me up and moving. This is a great support system.
