Weight-Loss
its awesome! its really sturdy... its a nice big one, runs really smooth.. the woman i bought it from originally paid 1600 for it back in 2001 and she took really good car of it... it still had the plastic protectors on the diplay and everything... would you believe she sold it to me for 150?!! talk about a deal!
I'm pretty sure it's KM since it starts off at .6 and im pretty sure in miles that would be REALLY slow... though i have no idea the difference between km and miles especially since i dont drive... i'm pretty sure thats a safe assumption...
I will definately be getting more of a work out in now that i have this! i love treadmills i find it very easy to get lost in my head while walking especially watching tv... and its just so much more convenient to get on my running shoes instead of turning on the wii...
 
I have been so freaking bad with exercise the last few days :(

I gave blood on Thursday and they don't like you to have "strenuous exercise" after so I didn't want to risk it.

On Friday, I had every intention of going to pilates at noon, I was at the gym when I realized I didn't have my freaking work out pants and didn't think it would be a great idea to do pilates in jeans.

Saturday I was just plain lazy.

So tonight I am going to go kick my butt into gear. I have my exercise clothes on and am just waiting for my hair to dry before I go out the door for some exercise. Ugh!
 
Cassey - i was just wondering the same about my treadmill, i was all proud of myself cuz i went 60 mins and 2.30 thinking that was so good but if it is in km it isnt really all that great bu ti got in a good work out, i walk on inclinded at a good pace:)

Claud - IM SO PROUD OF YOU:hug2:

Britta - it seems to be that way for alot of us this week.By the way im proud of you for those classes at the gym your taking...

Good for you, giving blood. It's so important, especially at this time of the year. I give blood pretty regularly, (usually platelets) and I won't do anything that strains my arms for a day or two after. I haven't given in about a month because the last time there was a thing and I ended up with a sore arm for just over a week. Big ass bruise, too. I was thinking about doing it after the challenge, just in case I can't do a lift again.

I know my treadmill is in miles and usually when I get on for an hour walking between 2.5 and 3.0.. I always go a little more than 2.5 miles.. if that helps at all..
 
Thanks Cerelly and Trops!

I got to the gym and did all the weights that I normally spread out over two days since I haven't been working ANY of my muscles lately. Tomorrow is pilates so I won't have to do the same exercises two days in a row.

Sooooo it came to 35 minutes on the bikes, 40 minutes of weights, and 25 minutes on the elliptical.

Once I get to my pilates class tomorrow, I'll have my four hours in for the week so no fear!

Sweet really well i think it is miles but not sure i need to ask my mom....i walk between 4 - 5, it would jsut suck if it was km but i did 2.30 in 60 mins you walk alot longer than i do...

Aw cerelly, I would be so sad to see you go but you have to do what is right for you. Why not just stay in but not stress yourself out over it?

*Hugs*

Relly, please hang in there with us! It would SUCK if you dropped out :(. What's up with your weight, are you leveling out (or gaining GULP) like me or did you hit a wall with something else? I still look and feel a lot better since I've been exercising regularly and espcially from the weights and I'm sure you do too. So despite being highly discouraged, I'm going to soldier on. Especially since I started the darned challenge lol. Dont feel bad whatever you decide, but I for one would really miss ya.

Hmm I'm not sure... at 1.5 it's a decently fast but comfortable paced walk... i'm pretty sure if i were at 2.5 though id be jogging so it has to be Km right?
I like to be a the number 2 incline, i feel more confortable at that level for some reason.
right now I'm doing it in my bare feet though because my current running shoes rub too much on my toes... theyre just these slip on running shoes more about convenience then activity level I think... anyway without the support of shoes i can really feel it in my hip knees and lower back so i'm going to have to jump on that ASAP... and i definately can't run without any...
 
I really hope you change your mind and stay with us Rella. Just do what's best for you . I hope things get better soon!
 
i agree you should definately stay... just dont push yourself so hard... do what you can even if its not the max point you can get... better something than nothing... And you work out waay harder then me, Maybe you should just take it down a few notches?
 
The challenge isnt stressin me out my life is...well the water challenge stressed me and i got all my water in except yesturdaya dn now i cant count nothing lol, that part sucks.

Claud i dunno if you remember any of my past but stress makes me gain like insainly...my body holds onto all it has and doesnt let go plus i started bootcamp and that stresses my body out.

Cassey i work out hard cuz i have alot of stress adn i need to work out for stress release everythign i do i enjoy...well mostly lol.and i can even drop an ounces unless i exercise non stop and obsesse over it which is why i havent been to successful,
between being a stressed out single mom and working nights.Wait till the summer comes...over even spring and non freezing, i play tennis like ya woulndt believe 2 -3 hrs at a time:)

I need to find my happy place agian but i think it is gonna take me awhile...i was on such a good even happy road but it has been interupted...

im just not happy right now.

:( Awwwww .....you poor thing! That makes me so sad to read...cause I know and have been exactly where you are. Frustration and stress are difficult, and I hope that you come back to your HAPPY MEDIUM again!!! :) .....you would be so missed....:grouphug: I hope you stick it out!!!!

....I do understand you as well....but a lot of emotions are a "passing" moment too....

...Don't let yourself get down....I LOVEEEE your positive energy :beating: ...don't stop...keep it up
 
aww well you'll be missed for sure on this team if you do go... its good that that least you have a release for some of that stress... even better that it happens to be excersize :D
I hope your feeling better soon
 
Relly, I know you can do it. If you need to talk about stuff, send a message my way <3


Just got done with an hour of pilates, I'll be hurting for a few days now.
