Fitness Check In: Role Call...
Okay ladies, post if you are still participating and also post your progress... Anything new of run you are trying? Any workout that you love?
Its been quiet the last few weeks, we need to step it up.
Re: Fitness Check In: Role Call...
I've was sick for about a week and then had to catch up at work so haven't been able to work out as much. I've lost about 4 pounds.
I'm starting to run on the track at the base because it is getting to cold. Unfortunately, I can only run about 3/4 of a mile outside without stopping, but when I first started, I could only run about a block (horrible). I hate running in circles though, or on the treadmill, I feel so stuck in one place. I also like stair climbing and try to alternate days that I run and do other stuff.
I'd like to fit in my clothes better, I guess that is the only goal I truly have. If I set running goals, I get overwhelmed and stop.
I'll be joining in more in a few weeks. Today we walked halfway down the street and went to the pediatrician's office. I've also spent about 3 hours breastfeeding.
And I'm exhausted. I plan on throatpunching the next person who says they "did things the hard way" with their vaginal birth like my c-section is a walk through the park. It's rough, too!
But yeah, the workouts can commence in a few weeks as long as the doc OKs it.
I did Couch to 5k Week 5, Day 1. I want to go again for a shorter run/walk when I get home but it'll depend on what time Man gets off work to pick me up.
I also had a co-worker tell me it was clear I had gained weight and she hadn't said anything but she was concerned there was "something going on." Last time she said that to someone that person was gaining because she was pg. Yeah, not me, I'm just eating too much.
The most beautiful place on earth to me: Glacier NP

Hi.
We also ran two miles today. My friend and I are doing C25K together now that I'm allowed to run again. Slow and easy!
Seriously, who do you need throatpunching? I will help. I give credit to the ladies that have to get c-sections. That scares the ever loving daylights out of me.
That is so awesome! What plan are you using?
Only if it made you sweat like a hosebeast.
How do you like running with on the treadmill Vibrams? I am taking mine to the gym tomorrow for the first time. I don't know why, but I am shy wearing them at the gym.
Great.
I am so glad you can start running again.
Haha, thanks. It's my aunt, of all people. She was all "oh, yeah, I did things the hard way." I replied "Yeah, I have a 3-4 inch incision across my lower abdomen which renders bending, lifting, and sleeping pretty much impossible. Oh yeah, and I was awake when it all happened. Real easy."
She shut up pretty quickly.
Hola.
I've been out if it for about a week, but I'm back in it today. Workout was some arms - bent over rows, lat pull downs, deadlifts, dumbbell curls, and preacher curls.
I've been loving lifting, and I feel awesome when I realize that I'm ready to add more weight. It makes me feel proud and accomplished.
People stare, but I know they're just jealous of my sweet kicks. And I will never go back to running without them unless I have to.
That is so awesome! What plan are you using?
I use my own plan of running 3 times a week.. I do 2 shorter runs during the week and then do my long runs on the weekend. I probably could add another day in there but I dont...:P I run slow and steady
