Exercise

Hi O'sss,

I ust set up a database to keep track of our exerciseing for 10 days

at a time. The first database goes from 11/11-11/20/2001 and I will

set up more as needed. There is also a template for recipes under

databases, incase anyone wants to experiment. You simply have to

list your name, and what you did each day. For anyone who wants to

be accountable to others. Just thought I'd check this out and see

how it works. Its on the page for ER4YT-0.

Hugs, Michele

Great ,

I am not too familiar with the database and found I could not add to

my record, not sure why, perhaps someone who has a working brain can figure

out how it works, set it up and let us know. I really am stumped when it

comes to adding additional data on me. Help?

Hugs, Michele

> Wednesday night i managed to do between 35 -40 sit ups. And i danced for

about 15 minutes.

Alright!! Now you're sweatin'!!

>>to a mall that is used for walking ( its slowly dying, most of the

stores are closed down)

Sounds like the Osceola Mall in Kissimmee, FL. My stepmom used to tell me

about the walking club at this mall, how they met every morning, had

get-togethers and incentive awards sponsored by the mall, and all that. As

soon as we moved to Kissimmee, the next week the mall stopped the walks,

blaming the economy (this was 1999, BTW), and they no longer opened the mall

early so those who wanted to walk anyway could.

When we moved back to Jersey, a new mall had opened about 20 miles away and

*they* have a walking club, but it's a 30 minute ride in bumper-to-bumper NJ

Turnpike traffic and almost $3 in tolls back and forth. In less than a week

I would have the cost of another video tape! Our only local mall doesn't

allow it, because security feels the place is too crowded to guarantee

anyone's safety and they also refuse to open the mall early, even though NYC

commuters who use the parking lot before hopping on their subway under the

Hudson would stop in to the food court if available.

>> i am not sure if its a quarter mile down and back or a half mile..

Next time you're near a sporting goods store stop in and get yourself a

pedometer. You can get one as cheap as $8 or as expensive as a hundred

dollar digital wiz-bang model. Once you adjust it for your stride, they're

amazingly accurate and a good motivator.

> and i REALLY wanted to sit down and take a break,

A good stretch would have done that back more good than sitting. Raise your

arms over your head loosly, bend your knees (important!!), then slowly bend,

arching your back like a cat and hanging your arms loose. Hold it there for

a few seconds to a minute, then slowly roll up to a standing position.

Really relaxes the lower back muscles.

>Lots of veggies and fruits have been added to list

What's produce like where you live? All our grocery stores have signs

hanging over the veggie bins apologizing for the quality and price of

everything, blaming droughts and other weather phenomenon. Things have

looked awful since last summer when iceberg lettuce first hit over $2 a head

and came pre-wilted.

>I can't cut out the little debbie snacks yet, cuz those are my treats

Everyone deserves a treat now and then, as long as you allow for it in your

daily food plan.

>>I swear they call out my name and say EAT ME!!!!

They got that idea from my Fritos. I swear there's a snack food conspiracy

out there!

>>I have never been good at knowing all the low cal and low fat foods.

Get yourself a handy dandy nutrition and exchange information guide next

time you're at a book store. You'll be amazed at the things you can learn

from it, like how coconut has more fat than some cookies and some brands of

hot chocolate have more caffeine than coffee!

>But THANKS to your recipes, I know what to do.

See how people like the recipe exchanges, ladies? How about the rest of you

sharing a favorite or 2? I'm sure not everyone wants the vegetarian stuff

that I post and would like to see how others make a lower calorie roast or

casserole.

I *would*, but I don't cook! The only " recipes " that I have are things

like...

Spread Pizza Quick sauce on pita bread, grate soy mozzarella and spread

turkey pepperoni on it and bake until the cheese melts.

That's " fancy cooking " for me! LOL

I did the thing I feared the most -- excuse me while I cheer.

Now here I stand, a stronger soul -- and all I've lost is fear.

> Well I did 2 days in a row for 20 mins of the exercise challenge.. I worked

til 9am this morning and had to be back at 6pm.. so i didnt have time to

exercise today.. Im at work now.. I supposed i could walk in place or something

for 20 mins tonight.. anyone have any ideas of a exercise i could do at work.. "

(snip)

>

Hehe, I was hard-pressed yesterday. We made the walk to and from the

car a bit of a 'power walk' since we were on the wrong side of the

Erwin Center. I did what balancing exercises from Yoga that I could get

away with (standing on one leg, standing with one leg raised, standing

with one leg crossed at the knee) that I could, and sorta walk/rocked

in place while waiting in line. Anything to keep moving, ya know?

Walking in place would be good -- swing those arms! Stretching, too, is

good for doing at work. Esp. if you're alone and not required to be

sitting in front of a computer. Heck, just turn up a radio and dance!

Against-the-wall push-ups (Lean against the wall and push out. MUCH

easier than a full on-the-floor push-up), jumping jacks?

I think I saw where you mentioned what it is you do, but I'm afraid my

short-term memory is more like a leaky strainer than a steel trap... so

I don't know what kind of space you have to work with?

Im a supervisor in a call center.. this place is pretty big.. We take orders

for some catalogs and some online sites.. but lately it has been extremely

slow.. but the space is kinda big i guess i could walk around it up and down and

up the isles or something.. anything to keep moving.. I dont think my ankles

could take the jumping jacks.. lol but the push ups against the walls sound

good and stretching.. Thanks for the ideas

>>anyone have any ideas of a exercise i could do at work..

Just the usual - park further away, take stairs instead of elevator, walk

around the building during lunch break, etc.

>>Its just me here so its not something i need to worry about people

watching me.. lol

Well, in that case, walking in place and all like in 's tapes may be

the thing. Too bad you don't have access to a vcr.

> I did some of the fat burning 4 mile walk by leslie sansone..

ACK! I just bought 3 more over the weekend. Well, one I ordered from

& Nobel and the other 2 I bought. I just finished the 2-mile walk from the

fat burner workout, I think it's called (tape 2 of the 3 tape set), and the

3 mile tape is waiting for me when I'm ready. Her stuff is *so* easy to do

compared with the tapes!

>its all i could do to do 20 mins.. but hopefully I will be able to get

through the whole thing soon.

Like I wrote before, it took me about 10 *years* to get in good enough shape

to do her tapes again! Now I'm breezing through the easier ones. I don't

think my knees could ever tolerate some of the harder ones.

Just stick with it and eventually you'll be able to do more and more. 20

minutes is *great*!

Great idea ,

Several times a week I add to my regular exercise sessions by ice skating,

riding horses and bike riding. It is a great way to add exercise and burn a

few extra calories.

A day to remember for years to come! Glad you had a great time. Too bad

I was thinking.... How much work do you think it would be to fly a kite in a

snow storm!!!!!!

Yes I am in Northern Illinois & surrounded with the beautiful white stuff!

, how many inches have you gotten? Here in Central Illnois we have probably

gotten 4-5 in and it's not lettin' up !!! The wind is excruciatingly cold and

brutal too!! We haven't seen weather like this in a long time, have we? Lol!!!

I hope that you are staying warm! If you are getting the wind like we are then

I think flying a kite would be a great workout!!!

We got 8 inches. It was windy but I assume it was worse there. We took it

easy. My husband actually did the snow blowing this time!!!! No Kites this

time.

Ouch...you snow people. I am a native Californian and I virtually know nothing

about snow (except I got stuck in a white once in Wyoming and it took me 4 hours

to drive 25 miles and then I was sick to my stomach for the next few hours...)

I am truly thankful for the mild weather here. It is sunny and bright, but the

rains are moving in...

Do you guys ever do any snow sports? Sledding, skiing, snow ball fights,

building snow forts and burying your husband in it or making a romantic snow

fort...just rambling

I guess the fumes from scrubbing the bathroom are getting to me

(who forgot to use gloves while scrubbing and hands are burning-DOH!)

Absolutely... being raised in the midwest, I can't imagine any other kind of

childhood. When I was a kid, my father used to build an ice rink in our back

yard. I would like to do that sometime too. Today is bright but it is a bit

chilly.

The kids played outside earlier but seemed to be too cold in the afternoon. Oh

well.

Shoveling & snow man building ... actually we ar into forts this year... they

are all good exercise. My husband (being from Africa) is not into the snow...

His sister has been funny... she doesn't want to go outside in it either!

March 3, 2002

I actually like the snow weather cuz it means a day or two of being stuck at

home and I can't possibly go and do anything cuz the roads are so yucky...lol!!

We have had California weather in Illinois up til now so we have been pretty

lucky. I don't do any snow sports..I used to snowmobile and sled but I don't

anymore. I like to be inside instead of outside during this kinda

weather...lol!

Oh pooh on them. I loved the snow when I visited the relatives in Montana. I

even shoveled a little, ok a lot, it was my in-laws ;p. Ok do you mind if I ask

this question ? How come you have an Italian rest. and not an African

themed. We love African food. In the Bay Area, we can go to many different

African rest. My husband's favorite is Egyptian, I like Ethiopia n and Moroccan.

We also like some of the dishes from Western and Southern African nations.

Although, my hubby has a hard time with cinnamon in meat or something similar.

Have fun in the snow. We got rain and fog now.
