i forgot how much i freaking love it. i did cardio for 2 solid hours and i am limp with exhaustion but feel so damned good it's ridiculous. worked out some anger, some frustration, some sadness. got out of my head for 2 solid hours of blessed silence, both mentally and physically. you can't be angry or sad when you've got a cardio high. and while i'm not losing vast amounts of weight, my legs are going to be the long, glorious, sculpted powerhouses they once were. it's not going to take me nearly as much time to get my breath back as i thought it would. i have sessions set up with a trainer to remind me how to do the weightlifting and familiarize myself with the newer machines. but i'm a lot healthier than i thought i was when i got my membership. i'm SO HAPPY.
Keep it up...and if you bump into me on the street, kick me in the ass and get me back on my mountain bike. It's been 7 years and I haven't ridden a good ride and I used to all the time. Nothing but forest and trails right across the street.
Sweet! I LOOOVE working out myself... since it's nice out I've been getting to do fun things like playing bball, swimming and hiking. It is defiantly a great feeling after working out... can't really beat it.
i don't have the attention span to play baseball or hike much. i have to be going somewhere. i don't know why. kinda like how i can't do an aerobics class without wanting to beat someone's ass.
Ahhh, I hate the way I feel while I'm working out, but once it's all said and done, it feels great. Which is likely why I feel like a lump of blah right now because the biggest workout I got today was walking all over Wal-Mart following Daniel and his mom, lol.
i know no one will be surprised, but the feeling i get after a solid 2 hours of working out is EXACTLY the same feeling i get after 45 minutes of good sex. you know, in regard to time spent, sex seems to be the better workout, but it's much harder to do it in public...legally.
I need to find new ways to work out now. My back is still healing up.. I'm kind of a loner, so any kind of gym or classes is out.
I love running. After I get done I get a great sense of accomplishment, not to mention I get a pretty nice endorphin buzz a-rockin'!
Heh heh...definite conundrum. Hump & hot in 45, or 2 hours to feel and look good. These are the trials we are faced with....
I hate how I feel while I'm working out, but I love how I feel once I'm done doing some organized physical activity.
My work for now, works my upper body so fuckin much. The UPS delivery boys may be happy but in the wairhouse, shit is crazy.
I did do sit ups and push ups for nearly 8 months and then one day I just stopped. I really sohuld start it again...
that's all well and good if you don't have other things you're more interested in that doing so would be robbing time away from. we all need SOME exercise, but as an end in and of itself, is only something to get anything out of if that is what you personally happen to enjoy doing and get some sort of gratification out of doing so. personaly i felt screwed by the class slot the highschool i went to back in the sixties made me take p.e. that i could have been taking some sort of lab or shop class if it hadn't. something i could have actually used. and i'm sorry, but i'm not convinced i'm any healthier now, if anything possibly less so, then i would be if they hadn't. (i'd probably be more enthused about getting more exercise then i do if they haddn't as well!) =^^= .../\...
That's great KC. I know when I started working out again after I had the twins (it had been several years since I had!) I thought, now why on Earth did I not find a way to keep working out despite having three little ones? I should have kept at it, managed to squeeze those work outs in! Now I can't go a day without my power walks, my cardio dancing. Totally addicted to my exercise, but in a good way. It makes me feel good, and look good as well! I'm probably healthier now at my age than I was as a young kid!
We just bought a weight bench that has several different benches and pull thingy's attached to it. You can work on your legs, arms, every part of your body. It was offically set up last night and ready to use. I am looking forward to working on my stomach and thighs. I want buns of steel. lol
awww... I am soo feelin ya KC! love the work out.. in bed or out I am getting seriously frustrated with working out.. I mean I love it and do it almost everyday.. even though my foot is still giving me problems I have just found other ways of working out (not so much jogging any more) but even on the days I don't work out I am constantly on the go .. cleaning and running errands and such (burning them calories).... but have I lost weight.. no not really I know it's just a thing in my head that I need to lose weight and that my body is changing even though I haven't lost numbers yet.. but still I get on that scale and I only weigh 15 pounds less then when I started two months ago.. bummed is how I feel So I feel awesome when I work out.. during and after but as soon as I climb on that scale I feel like shit mm..hmm just quit weighing myself right (sorry about this post I just needed to vent)
nope. this was the perfect place for it. i get really annoyed when i weigh myself in the morning, then i drink a cup of coffee and weigh myself again and i'm 5 pounds heavier. WTF? i first noticed this when we were at dave's mother's house, visiting. i weighed myself, and i was like "ALRIGHT! the weight is coming off!" so i drink my cup of coffee, and dave comes out, weighs himself, and i stepped on the scale to show off, and it was 5 pounds heavier. that's some bullshit right there, and i don't eve know how it's possible. it's not right, i tell you. it's consistant, too. i keep doing it to torture myself.
