Well done @GaGirl

Been walking New York City same time as pounding the streets.

Well done both - I've done my first aerobic session of Week 2. So many times in the past I've started exercise regimes but sloped off and not been consistent or even worse stopped all together - this thread is really helping me - so thanks to you all esp Dawn for setting it up!

Would that be the same Dawn who’s been conspicuous by her absence...?

Sorry I’ve been AWOL. First work, then the baby shower...and then the aftermath of LOTS of leftover cake!

But I’m back now x Not quite myself due to the unexpected death of a much loved minis friend on Sunday But he’d be the first to moan at me for not getting back in the swing of things. So I got on the treadmill tonight and walked/ran 2.6k. I found it hard because 1) I’m fat 2) I’m unfit and 3) my heart wasn’t really in it, but I did it. And I felt better for doing it

You ladies are so inspirational with all your exercise! I’m loving the variety! It just goes to show there’s no excuse really

Well done @skinnydawn for getting on your treadmill when your hearts not in it.
I'm loving the walking app. It feels like I have something to aim for. I think the next one is 70 miles. That will take a week or so to do.

 

[skinnydawn]

It’s so motivational on here...I’m tempted to go back out to the garage and do another 30 mins now...

 

[Cavegirl21]

Just back from Physio. Was hoping my parcel had been delivered while I was out so I could go out for a walk.
Will have to do it on the elliptical trainer now instead.

 

[Cavegirl21]

Finished the New York City walk.

 

[skinnydawn]

Can’t believe I got on that treadmill again this morning! I tried the couch to 5k thing...nearly killed me I need to lose at LEAST another two stones before I can run properly!

 

[skinnydawn]

@Diane1966 ... I wasn’t kidding when it nearly killed me. It seemed so much harder than last time...but then I was 2 stones lighter and 6 years younger

Everyone's doing well let's keep it up girls! I think it's hard when we first start but it'll get easier and we can build up our exercise slowly - well I am at least - but feel a bit better and running up the stairs already

So glad you started this thread Dawn - I often would be sitting down on the sofa & I think "nah can't be bothered with exercise today" always had various valid excuses! But since joining here - I'm really keen to get off my hoo ha!

I've done my aerobic exercise routine early this morning - woke up to snow again just a few inches and looks v wet - so maybe it won't stick.

Finished the New York City walk.

Well done Mary!

Back from knee Physio so before the Pest man comes I'm going on trainer for 10 mins.

 

[Cavegirl21]

National Mall 2.7 miles. Don't take notice of time as I took a break when pestman came.
