Arpeggio Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Well, here goes! I need to make myself accountable and do something active every day. No more excuses - I don't need them! Today I jogged a mile, then did another mile and a half later. I also did 4 sets of 4 reps on the Huber Motion Machine at my physical therapist (the quadratis lumborum speed exercise) - even though it focuses on the lower back, my biceps and quads and calves are feeling worked as well.

Arpeggio Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Walk/jogged a mile and half this morning - I think I found the most disgusting smelling yard in town, I almost vomited as I jogged past, it smelled so terrible. I think they either let their kids poo in the yard, or they have a huge honking dog...

Arpeggio Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Also, I walked about a mile and a half, maybe more (I lost count of the laps) in the local pool's lazy river. I am hoping that my doctor will OK me for lifting more than 30 lbs soon...

Arpeggio Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 3.09 miles on the zero-g treadmill, plus now I'm doing 20 minutes of various exercises on the Huber motion machine. My physical therapist has also challenged me to do a 5K in 25 minutes on the zero-g treadmill (right now I'm running at 35% of my body weight) - I think I can get there by the end of next week! I'm also feeling pretty good pain-wise, since my nasty fall and subsequent herniated disc. I'm almost ready to start weight lifting, which is getting me excited!

Arpeggio Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Last night I did 35 min on the elliptical to make up for a cupcake I shouldn't have eaten... And this morning I re-started my C25K, and did 2.11 miles!

Arpeggio Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Did ten minutes of my rowing, and a different beginner's full body lifting workout from my app - phone is charging, I can look up the particulars later.

Arpeggio Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hmm, not very good at a daily log :-p. So far I've been very diligent, keeping my weight training on MWF, my jogging on TThS - Monday I worked back and legs, today I did abs and arms. On week 2 of my C25K program, and feeling good about it!

Arpeggio Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I need a reminder to tell myself to come post in here! I promise I've been good, I haven't missed any days except for Sunday which is my rest day! I lifted yesterday, shoulders/back/legs, and today I did week 3 day 1 of my C25K (2.65 miles!)
