How is everyone doing? I am really struggling with the workout... DH set up the office for me to work out and tries to be supportive and encourage me (but that is VERY dangerous on his part LOL).
DH: "honey, don't you want to get your hour in?"
DW::nono::hair:
I just find it so hard to actually get on the elliptical! I even made myself promise not to watch any of my shows unless I'm on it... I haven't watched or even turned on the TV in days :worry:
Can you not do something different instead?? It's obviously not working to do that. Can you just go out for a walk for an hour?? That works too. Or a less strenuous workout??
How is everyone doing? My exercise has been awful this week and still making diet changes. Am hoping to start properly on Monday
Same here 2lovelyboys... I just bought my plan so I am hoping that will get me energized!
I forgot to mention on my questionnaire... I always spot a couple days before my period and it looks like my temp drops several days before ovulation. I am currently without an OB/GYN but I think I will try to make an appointment Monday (although, I'm sure it will be quite a while before I am able to get in :( )
ok, I made a note of it. I have your questionnaire!
Jumping back in! I really fell off the exercise wagon lately. My two youngest were pretty sick so I just couldn't get motivated to work out after cuddling sick babies all day. I did 40 minutes on the bike tonight but I'm motivated to do the full 60 tomorrow!
Pretty - Would a cardio dance video be easier? I was thinking of switching up the bike with some zumba videos. Mainly because my butt gets sore after a couple of days in a row on the bike, lol.
I'm feeling pretty good about the diet lately. How is everyone else doing with that? I feel like skipping breakfast is the norm now which is nice because that was my biggest worry as I've always been a breakfast eater. Struggling with my snacks/third meal in the evening. After the kids are in bed and I've done my exercise, I get bored and want to eat. I'm hoping to get down to just 2 meals/day because I need to drop more than a few pounds but once I crack the wine, I want something to munch on!
I do think I will try a video! I did my second workout today on the elliptical... I just don't know if it is worth it to work out (I am so out of shape, I think my body is definitely feeling like it's being put through the ringer) and risk building muscle or if it would be better to go the couch potato route. I'm kinda torn so maybe a video workout will be a happy medium :)
My muscles are twitching and burning like crazy! I didn't use any resistance, I'm just THAT out of shape... I will often go all day at work without getting out of my chair :(
It will get so much easier in just a week, then even easier in 2 weeks. Stick with it! No way can you build muscle doing cardio on the LE, it's impossible. Exercise is getting SUCH great results.
Plus, adding muscle is just a THEORY. it's just a guess about how exercise might sway. But doing the exercise, we see based on results that it works! Don't get so hung up on the theory that you lose sight of just doing what is working.
