Singledad's Bootcamp

I'm not going to workout today because I am recovering from an overnight fever. It gave me some really bizarre dreams. However, if it warms up, I may take a walk in the sunshine because the fresh air and vitamin D will do me good.

Hugs Hope you feel better....taking a day off will not kill you, the body needs rest. Yes, the sun is the BEST source of Vitamin D, always recommend for people with colds to try and walk outside in the sun.

feel better

So glad to have you on board! Welcome and it's nice to meet you. Proud of you for taking that first step. Please check in daily.

I forgot to add, everyone should drink an 8oz glass of water every hour while awake. Try to minimize caffeine if you drink more than two cups a day.

 

[gardenia19]

That will be a challenge.

 

[BluKitten]

That will be a challenge.

Try this, keep track of how much soda you do drink in a day. Then, cut back just one each day. Or, every time you drink a glass of soda, drink a glass of water immediately after. You'll get there! I have cut back to one 20 oz of Dr Pepper per week. I have to have it with a cheese burger, which is one of my favorite things to eat!

So how was everyone's Weekend? Did you know that yes you can count yard work and home improvement projects as exercise! Yep you sure can....take painting, (like i did this weekend) that's a great arm and shoulder work out, lol...*****blem is you need to try and switch arms a lot.

On another note, how's your diet? are you eating AT LEAST 3 meals a day? Are you eating breakfast? If not, you need to!

I can't stand breakfast, so this is what I do. I make home made smoothies!
Save money by purchasing frozen fruit such as strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries (hmmmm why aren't they called redberries? lol)

I also add a banana and either natural greek yogurt (other yogurt really isn't that good for you) or skim milk.

Here's the kicker, I add a multi vitamin powder to this as well. Powder form multi vitamins are better for you, you absorb close to 80% of the vitamins where with capsules you only get about 50%.

I go to GNC and buy Megamen sport.....They have the exact same thing for women called mega women sport.

It comes in vanilla or chocolate and is about $30 for a month supply with a discount card.

Take care of your body and exercise, we can all do this!

Just start......that's all you have to do, just start

Hey if that's what you need for motivation go for it! Whatever gets you off of the computer and off of the couch.


So who took 30 minutes or more to get that heart rate up to 150 yesterday?

 

[PlayfulLittle1]

Guess who has two thumbs and brought sneakers to work today! Woot! Alright, time to walk before my shift!

(Ooh! Packed stuff to make a turkey flax wrap for lunch too. Yummm...)

 

[BluKitten]

Yay me! I tried on my summer shorts yesterday, and they are all bit big! Last summer they fit real snug. But, that doesn't mean I'm ready for a whole new wardrobe!

My cold is much better today, so I am going to the gym as soon as I get the laundry hung on the line! Just waiting for it to finish washing!

 

[singledad68]

Awesome ladies way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job, lady!

I'm coming to grips with the fact that what I have is probably a cold instead of allergies. Uck.

But I walked! Now I'm sitting on my tailgate eating an apple and spending as much time outside before I have to go in to the hive.

have a great day, everyone!

Reporting in:

Staying (working) in a school camp these last days (and the next three weeks): walking a kilometer uphill several times each day to get the bread, the groceries and the meat. (*grins* the bread and the meat I get in one go, butcher and baker are close together and make one load). On the way back I not only use my legs but my arms and shoulders too. The darn handcart always wants to surpass me...

Adding myself to the list!

Just wanted to add myself to the list of the work out group. I didn't make it to the gym today due to feeling green, so I'm slamming more water than usual. I was training for a half marathon, but that went to the way side due to new developments. But I'm still in for three 5k races this summer. I'm making a promise to myself to get back to the gym this week.. and I plan on adding swimming classes this summer.

Yay! I know I'm glad you're here! I made it to the gym but not to workout. I'm still coughing a lot. They gave me a really good price for a years membership because they said that I have brought in some more members.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm glad you didn't go to the gym. You need to rest up and get better before you put your body through more stress. That's awesome you got a killer price!

Ate pretty good today. Protein shake and an apple for breakfast. A turkey wrap and trail mix for lunch. Dinner was an experiment. A vegetarian "meat"ball mushroom and cheddar pizza.not too bad, really.

My walk was good this morning too. All in all a good day.

 

[singledad68]

Welcome Naughty! Thanks for joining!

Ladies you're doing awesome! No men yet, but I bet there are some lurkers out there LOL

Keep up the great work!

I will leave you with this today.

Confession: I haven't worked out in a week.....haven't been sleeping well and I need a swift kick in my rump!

On a positive note, I took measurements last night. in 30 days I have lost 16lbs and 2 inches around my waist!

Keep posting what you're doing. Stay motivated and if you need motivation, PM me!

 

[BluKitten]

Woo Hoo! Went for a bike ride for the first time this year! Usually the first time I go my knees are screaming at me by the end. But, this year I feel great! I think all the working out at the gym has had a hand in that! Another good reason to keep it up! Plus, I'm not all out of breath!

 

[BlueEyedGent]

I just wanted to pop in and tell you Singledad that I think your thread is a wonderful idea. You seem to be a very positive person and I commend you for initiating this healthy thread.

I have no doubt that many people will find ideas , motivation and support !

 

[PlayfulLittle1]

Yay: I went to the gym today!

Boo: I ate total crap all day....


Well... better than eating crap and NOT going to the gym I guess.
