how was everyone''s weekend?

did you know there is a Healthy Lifestyle forum on pricescope? gotta check it out.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
What is your favorite thing about exercise?

Mine is the shower afterwards. By the time I''m in the shower I know I''ve already completed my workout and have a sense of achievement. Plus the water feels good!

Hello! Thanks for taking care of this for me noelwr!

My weekend was great, how was yours? I am so tired!

I feel better about myself when I exercise because I feel like I am going something good for myself!!

Hi Ladies!!!

I like that "RAAARR!!" mood exercising puts me in. Also after I come back from my runs my dog loves cuddling up next to me when I''m stretching. She gets in the way but it''s also really cute.

 

[noelwr]

RAAARR!!

no, I never get that feeling.

I wish I got an adrenaline rush but of course don''t do anything cardio enough for that. but I think it would be really trippy.

well, after not doing much exercise this weekend (bad bad noelwr!) I went biking yesterday with FI and today did my ab and arm toning. should be warm weather tomorrow afternoon so going biking again and stopping at the tanning salon. apparently to start with I need to go twice a week for tanning and then eventually go less and less.

Last night we had some CRAZY ASS WEATHER in Chicago!!! We picked a good night to NOT work out. On Sunday I went on a run. I was bad bad bad the prior week and didn''t do my weekly alloted run, so I had to do it on Sunday morning. GROAN it was so hot. And I hate running in the morning. And I hate running when its hot. I totally didn''t like it. Well, at least I deserved the miserable experience for being so bad the week before.

I want to try to for my normal weekly run today. First I need to bike over to my sister''s (3 miles) to let my dog out and bike back and do my run. Sorta like a BRICK with a little dog-walking break in between. My sister is going on travel again for 2 wks and wanted some quality bonding time with the dog. We bought the dog together but I have primary custody of her (the dog).

FI and went biking for half an hour (did 10km). was fun, but I think he wishes I would bike faster.

lliang_chi: what is a BRICK? your doggie must get really spoiled with two mommies to take care of her!

 

[lliang_chi]

It''s a triathlon training exercise where you bike for say 45 mins then immediately start running. It feels totally gross. I couldn''t bring myself to do it yesterday, so FI and I went on an impromptu date night since we didn''t have the "kid." Yes, the dog is TOTALLY spoiled, but more of a result of the boys (FI & Sister''s BF) than us. Boys are such bad influences on her!!! Store of life, eh?

Tomorrow or Friday is supposed to be quite nice so I was thinking of postponing my run till then. Is it just me or do other people find it really hard to work out when it''s gross hot out?

Hi everyone..I am so not feeling well this week.

Ugh! Oh well. I hope everyone else is doing great!

 

[Diamond Confused]

Being alone. I run alone and I love it.

Sarah, I hope you feel better. I applaud your dedication to ps, coming here in illness.

My favorite thing about exercise is finishing it. I don''t like exercising at all. But the way I feel afterwords...I just know that I did my body good.

These few days I''ve been wondering why my upper arms feel larger than usual. I realized today that it''s from all the swimming

Noooooo, I want smaller toned arms! Ah well, FI likes it better this way anyway.

I was bad last weekend, but it''s okay because it was my birthday

Saturday lunch was Suplantation (I out eat anyone at buffets.), dinner was BBQ (5 short ribs, 4 kebabs, corn...), and 2 slices of cake.
Sunday lunch was hotpot and 2 more slices cake

Has anyone had Costco corns? It''s the best corn I''ve ever had! So sweet. Same for the meat. I''ve never had such juicy, tasty meat. Costco doesn''t fool around with the food they sell. Next time you have a barbecue, make sure you get the food from Costco

 

[lliang_chi]

Diamond Confused I like running alone too! Actually I like doing all exercises alone. One of my biggest peevs for personal trainers are the ones that keep yapping to you while you''re working out. I hate that. I hate it when people try to talk to you while you''re working out. I used to go to the gym with my sister and we''d just work out next to each other in silence and then gab in the steam room. Much better.

Yesterday it was so nice out. I went on a short run (3 miles). I wanted to take the pooch, but FI said it''d be too hot for her. I told the dog that she''s getting a haircut this week and then no excuses!!!

I need to start with some swimming work outs. We only have a month till the tri! YIKES!!!!

choro - i LOVE souplantation! my friend and i always treat ourselves tot he little cones with sprinkles when we''re done! fun times! i''ll have to try costco corn - i love corn!

for exercise - i love feeling accomplished. i feel energized and more motivated to do things. but why is it so hard to get off my arse and exercise some days. knowing how great it makes me feel? that is one of lifes great mysteries.

my eating is starting to finally get in check. my problem is stress / alone eating. my FI and i work opposite schedules so i find myself eating like crazy when im by myself - no matter how hard i try to keep busy. also when i feel stressed, the first thing i do is grab for food.

oh, yeah, with it being summertime....the beer consumption NEEDS to start getting in check. jeez, sometimes i think i outdrink the guys.

Hey everyone! I am feeling a bit better! How is everyone's weekend? I have a feeling I am going to go off my dietish thing this weekend because it's my Dad's b-day today!! Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I am hoping to go for a walk tomorrow.

ETA: I just wanted to say it looks like everyone's been doing great exercise-wise!
