I’m trying to keep up my New Year’s resolution of exercising, but I’m struggling! I can’t easily leave the house to participate in classes or go to the gym, and I don’t have anyone to encourage me or hold me accountable for exercising at home.
I know I’m not the only one feeling like this! Would anyone else like to become long-distance workout buddies on this website?
- What motivates you to exercise?
- What are your goals?
- What exercise activities do you enjoy or find work the best for you?
If you’re interested, let’s encourage each other and share our accomplishments. Maybe this will help motivate positive change in our lives.
I did stroll to Timmie's and back though, and CM you inspired me to pull out my mower and tackle the bits of lawn that had gotten long.
(I'm amused that often the same people who profess to want to die before the become decrepit work so hard to improve their health)
* = tired, in this context.
scale continues to go down. I even put new batteries in it because I thought it can't be right. I am so grateful I believe the ashwagandha and turmeric have been beneficial in ridding my stress, which rids cortisol, which rids fat. And has boosted my thyroid which I believe could have been a problem with me for some time. I am feeling so much better and have so much more energy, so I assume it is these things. the only other thing I added was the vibe machine. So maybe a combination of the 3 whatever it is, I will continue what I am doing.It is working.
Keep up the good work!!!
Hope everyone is exercising...
Today, I had very little carbs from grains and starch. A no carb breakfast, a very low carb lunch, and no carb dinner, except for dessert which was fresh strawberries dipped in sugar. Will try to keep carbs low tomorrow, one day at a time.
I am a loser. Lost 0.4 lb.
A little slow on restarting my activity, walking.
Maybe swimming is a good idea for me.
Did my push ups added some crunches, vibe machine and cycling.
Bur, finally, FINALLY, it's down 3 lbs.
Oh I am so celebrating, with some cheesecake.
😀I kid.
But I am excited, to crack to code. And looking forward to more of it
Didn't know who else to tell. Thank you for being here.
Keep up the good work, buddies. It will pay off.
I added push ups to my daily routine. I wasnt feeling well today, head cold and all, but forced myself to do push ups, vibe, biking.
Thanks, everyone, for keeping this discussion going. I hit a rough patch- definitely the depression part of grieving- after my hubby was in the hospital. Things are getting better slowly, and we are learning what the new normal is. Spring is here, so that makes it more enticing to go out and exercise... I hope!
But I'm getting back on track NOW!
Thanks for missing me.
Keep going everyone, keep trying, even when your heart is not in it.
No one has to be perfect.
So I am going to add back into my days push ups. I know there are only 2 more days of this week, but It will be a headstart on next week. When I was going to go into the army before I got married I was in the best shape of my life. I could run miles, do a hundred pushups at once, and I did sit ups on an incline holding a 25 lb weight. I do not think I have that kind of energy anymore but I dream.......
I am really going to see what I can do. One of these days......:)
I think something happens when you hot 40 that makes you have to work harder at these things to get the same results. :(
Keep up the good work ya'll
The vibe machine has been great. I often have back pains and such and I get on there for 10 minutes and it relaxes me and loosens up any tight spots in my back. I use it daily. A couple of times I felt so much stress and went and used it and it helped relieve some stress. It is a neat thing.
What happened to all our fellow exercise buddies?
We miss you...
How's the vibe machine? How does it help you?
Last few days didn't eat so well, lots of carbs. Stress maybe. Will do better this week, I hope.
Good job polarbear keep at it
Cw- walking counts
I am. Try to do it at least once a day for 5-10 minutes.
I've been mindful about the amount of calories and carbs intake but weight hasn't changed. Maybe I gained muscles. Haha. I can tell my push ups are becoming a bit easier. My left shoulder joint hurts a less and I can rotate my left arm more. Still hurts when I raise it above my head to pull off Tshirts or sweaters, so more work is needed.
FIL's Bday is this weekend and we're taking him out to a restaurant of his choice. Hopefully it's not a buffet. Too much good food and so hard to resist... :D
Did my Zumba exercise this morning. Also did some stretching and hand weights. Hopped on the scale this morning, and it showed 0.2 lb. less. Woohoo!!!
Hope everyone is exercising...
