Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

Morning, it's dark, rainy, and super muggy here.. I did 3 miles on the treadmill this morning. By back is sore, upper and lower, and I know I went to heavy yesterday so that's why..I almost bagged my workout today but decided to do the treadmill but not my usual pace.

FUTURE always nice finding stuff on sale. I like dresses too, 1 piece and you don't have to think about it...just throw it on with some jewelry and your out the door!

Nomless I didn't watch Ninja last night as we could't wait for the season premiere of Dallas!!

SF good job on all that running,,you really do well

Pppmint hoping you get everything done today that needs to be done..you've done really well and are so organized...you have a busy week coming up and praying it all goes well. Prayers for DS along the way ...

Well better shower...have a good day!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

Well, heck, I've had a hard time getting in here today. Lots of error messages. Now, I can't remember what I came today. LOL.

Tonight I'll do TG.

Last night when I was doing cardio in the workout room, there was a woman next to me I hadn't seen before. She's maybe 70-75 years old, maybe 50 pounds overweight. I watched her do 20 minutes on the treadmill, then she moved to an elliptical. I cleaned up my machine when I was done, then I turned to her (she was next to me) and introduced myself. Asked if she was new, blah, blah, blah. Yes, she is new. She used to workout, life got in the way, so now she's back at it. Yesterday was her second day. I was so tickled to see an older person there, not making excuses, and going at it pretty hard. I hope she sticks with it.

ANW was fun last night. It's not on next week; the Emmies will be on instead. Emmies on a Monday??? Thought the Emmies were usually on Sundays. Have to wait 2 week to see Kacey give the course a try.

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

Hour hike around the lake yesterday. It resulted in a sudden, stabbing pain under my left shoulder blade. It was gone by this morning.

I made the mistake of googling it: heart attack, lung cancer, muscle sprain, sleeping wrong, kidney stones, brain cancer, depression were at the top of the list.

I think it's a muscle problem. My rows are awful!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

Hi All! I do read all of the post and keep up but just don't get opportunity to join- sometimes our Internet is just so slow, I hang it up. Anyway, everybody sounds good- patty, I am happy your son is doing better. Bopper-your weather is not sounding fun. We have had 70's dry and beautiful. No complaints. I have been able to do some walking. Nomless- I like your new friend! Good luck to her! Future-no wonder you need naps!! SF- good running! Good for you! Honny- I hope you are OK! Work census has been crazy- we go from full and more waiting for beds to low census and no one waiting. Can be exasperating! So, I have been walking and varying strength w/os. varying between Chalene and firm for the most part. Have a great Wednesday!!!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

Morning!

Son is the same....we're going day by day, hour by hour.{#emotions_dlg.sad} And now it's supposed to rain and ceremony is outside. DH isn't real pleased that they didn't have a back-up plan so now they're scrambling for that. The ceremony is under a tent and the reception is in an air-conditioned tent, but still...not pleasant in a thunder storm.

Yesterday I walked and ran 5 miles. Also did the office so moved furniture around and carried a bunch of stuff up and down the stairs, out to the garage. Got my hair done(takes 3 hours), went to Marshall's(got a darling pillow for my bed!), and went grocery shopping. Went from morning until night...whew!

My abs are sore from Monday still. My gf is coming this morning to do the TRX class at the gym with me. I have to get a pedi sometime today and need to run a couple of more errands. Kind of an awkward time. Going to go for a run this morning then if something happens for class, I'll go lift weights.

nomless...sounds like you might have a new buddy!

Waving to everyone!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

Hey all haven't done much of anything ! {#emotions_dlg.laugh}Grocery shopping, and just some cleaning up and laundry and a Logan walk is all I have today! Ahhh it's ok!

Nomless good job at the gym and finding someone you can relate to...I didn't know Emmy's were on next week.

Pppmint hoping you get everything done you need to do and DS can hold his own with all that's going on for all of you. Praying it is all alright!

Tony I see ya lurking around the produce Isle! {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Honny glad that pain went away. I've learned not t {#emotions_dlg.laugh}o google!!!

Put some of my Fall decor out, always enjoy doing that. It's muggy here and dark...so it's a good day for it. Think I'll make some blueberry muffins too! Come on over for coffee everyone!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

Hi, Tony. Good to see you! Tony, do you still go back to Jillian's BR sometimes?

Hi to Honny, too. I hope you're feeling OK.

Hi, Patty. Prayers for DS. I hope TRX and whatever else you did distracted you from worry for a bit. It's so exhausting to have so much on your mind.

Hi, Bopper. It is almost fall where you live, isn't it? Here, we have 6 or more weeks of hot weather ahead of us. I'd love to come over for coffee and a muffin! Yesterday I got a small autumn leaf that I'll put on my door late Sept.

Today is cardio day. My new friend said she'd prefer to work out during the day, so I might not see much of her. I sure hope she keeps it going, though. I'll watch for her. I see so many women who are younger and in better shape than I am who say they're too to exercise and won't even give it a try. I was so pleased to see this woman who is older and in worse shape than I am getting in there and just doing it, no excuses. Yay for her! I'd like to be her cheerleader, so I hope I see her now and then.

I'm a tad sore from my TG session yesterday, especially my tri's and chest.

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

Well ladies, 11 more days until Sept is on us. The weather is changing a bit and the boys are back in school. Fall is right around the corner. I am trying to enjoy what we have left of summer. I am not looking forward to running in the dark after work but the heat is also hard. Hope everyone's work outs are going well Smiley Happy
