What did you do to exercise today?

I'm fatter and slower because I'm a good shot and don't need to run and that is all because of you. So you can come out of the corner!

I wasn't trying to be disagreeable, it was just that your comment got me thinking and it has been very small baby steps for me. Hell, just getting out of bed was absolute torcher because it felt like my back was on fire 5 months ago.


I seriously appreciate your success story's and continued posts in this thread - as well as others who have been very helpful with links for nutrition and alternative excersise plans.


You have my deepest respect, admiration and appreciation.

I really need to get better at drinking water that is a huge down fall of mine.

I find I do better with a bottle than from a glass.
Also, adding the "essence" of a fruit can help. Lemon wedge, watermelon, apples, what ever you like.

I like really cold water. I keep a Hydro Flask filled with ice water next to me all day, every day. I have one at work and one at home. I drink from it all the time. I may not do everything right, but drinking water is one of those things I've done right for a long time. Love me some ice water!

Workout #3 for the week. Added a new exercise - the Pallof Press - something a co-worker showed me. Really helps with the core. Also added a couple more minutes to cardio, trying to slowly work up to my goal.

Interesting, yesterday was a rest day from the workout, but I found myself missing it. That's a good sign. It may mean I'm on the path to sticking with this again.

I'm gonna ride my bike to my indoor cycling class once I replace my cheap roadmaster.

I am new to the whole cross-fit thing and of course there are those code words, the jargon. That which we use to determine "are you one of us?" ( ie clip )

I posted the cartoon above and didn't know at the time, that CF uses Girls names to describe an exercise collection!

So now I am laughing at it again.

• Cindy. 5 Pull Ups. 10 Push Ups. 15 Squats. ...

One of my challenges/frustrations:



At least once a week this stuff is laid out at work - brought in by salespeople/vendors. Donuts twice this week. Cookies on Wednesday. Bagels on Tuesday.

One thing I've noticed though - on my workout days, my ability to walk by these and ignore them goes up greatly. No donuts today, and I'm not even craving them. Bonus!

I work at a gym and furnished lunches at meetings are pizza

Buddy from high school is a cross fit nut.

I don't dig it personally.

I'm more of a meat head and want to lift heavy when I lift.

That's an interesting choice for a place that centers around fitness. At least we're just a bunch of construction workers - donuts, pizza, etc. are our fuel

Actually, our company is pushing for healthier choices in and around the office. They are looking to ask the vendors to bring in healthier choices, though some folks are pushing back against the idea. When they cater a lunch or meeting, we get a mix of healthy stuff sometimes and less healthy stuff others. At least they're trying to make an improvement.
