Okay...I am going to get moving. I have to. I need to get things moving in the right direction. Back in college when I was playing softball, my BF was about 17%. Now, the damn scale says ~ 38%. I am about the same weight as I was in college...but 4 years of not doing anything has killed me and I have my work cut out for me. It's cool because once I get things back in order, I will be able to appreciate how hard the road was and realize I don't want to go down that path again. Over the next two days, I am going to redo my spreadsheet with all of my workouts. I don't know what I did with them but they were pretty darn good. I actually think that I made a hardcopy of them and have them in my workout drawer at home. What I did was make a spreadsheet and then cut it up into flashcards. Each flashcard had a different workout on them with a different workout mixture. Three cards would be light days with just cardio, lifting, or abs. Other cards would have a mixture of cardio/lifting/and abs with different arms and leg exercises every day. Then I would put the cards into a basket and reach in and grab one. Whatever one I picked, that was it for the day so it added a little excitement because you never knew what you were going to do. I had a total of 10 workouts. Some were really hard. I am going to workout. I am going to get moving. I can do it. I will do it. This is my mantra... , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Last edited by MikieGirl : Mon, Aug-08-05 at 08:20.

I'm so glad you've started this, and what a clever way to add excitment and fun into the exercise part of your day. I do something similar in that I don't have a hard and fast plan as to what I'm doing each day. I know the bodyparts....but I do what I feel like doing that day. I have to be really motivated to do squats, for instance. And I like experimenting.....trying something I've read or heard about, and sometimes I make up things to try. I love bodybuilding....hate aerobics, which I did an experiment with....NOT doing any for awhile, so this week I'll go back to 2-3 days a week treadmilling or something . Well, I'll check in and see how it's going for you from time to time. You'll be hooked again in no time. I was. galatia View Public Profile Send a private message to galatia Find all posts by galatia Add galatia to Your Buddy List

I am really excited about starting to workout over vacation. It will be the opportunity that I have been looking forward to. Since being in school and having to work, I could never get a chance to get into a workout pattern. Since I don't have a lot to do, I am finally going to get the chance. I found my workouts... Thet were in my workout drawer just like I thought they were. I remade the spreadsheet this morning so that I can make new flashcards. Goal, here I come...

I went to the gym with every intention of doing both cardio and lifting but once I was done with the cardio, my legs were already sore. I felt like if I lifted then I may pull something so I opted for a walk. But intsead of straight walking, I tried one of the programs on the treadmill called HILL. It was way cool and I actually felt like I was doing squats because the incline at times really got up there. Good day overall but by the time it was over, I was absolutely starving. Workout: 25 Minute Run - 5.0-5.5 12 Minute HILL - Level 6, 3.7 Speed MikieGirl View Public Profile Send a private message to MikieGirl Find all posts by MikieGirl Add MikieGirl to Your Buddy List

Since it was nice outside, we skipped the gym and opted for the forest preserve's trail. It was good to get outside and my legs were a bit sore from yesterday's run so a walk was just what the Dr. ordered. Workout: 3.5 Mile Walk MikieGirl View Public Profile Send a private message to MikieGirl Find all posts by MikieGirl Add MikieGirl to Your Buddy List
