I got a stretch of gardening in this morning to make up for yesterday (Wed), and an exercise bike workout tonight (Thurs)

[ValerieT]

Nothing for me yesterday (Thursday), mad day. I'll try and get two in today, not hopeful though.

[ValerieT]

Just got back from walking Kiahna to nursery, so Friday done.

[englishrose]

I walked into town this morning (30 minutes) to attend my class. I would have walked back but it was raining and I'd bought fruit from the market and my bag was heavy!

[AmandaFace]

Yesterday was rest day. Done for today!

[April Showers]

Thursday - 1 hour on the elliptical

[angleigh]

Friday done for me, got a walk in with the boys, getting ready to hit the weights for a bit

I know I'm not an official Shredder anymore, but I just have to brag...

In the past month, just from the increase in taiko practices (8 hours a week instead of 2) and taking occasional walks, I've lost about 3 pounds!

And that is despite the increase in junk food (cookies, cake, chips, candy, diet soda) that I've been consuming lately.
My skinny jeans are fitting looser now, so I might have to go shopping again soon!

Nothing for me today (unless I can count the very short walk I had in town carrying my son).

Yeah but I'm not working out every day, so my chart would have lots of holes.

[Smiles]

Friday done.

Way to go, Tiza! Taiko has been good for you!

If it wasn't a really really long walk from the car to the shop perhaps

[Kate Davis]

I've done an hour of soft play as my daughter went to a birthday party. I've been crawling, bouncing, climbing, sliding and swinging.

[JenniferZ]

Saturday is done for me -- 1 hour 45 minutes at the dojo.

Congratulations, Theresa!!

I'll have the updated chart posted this evening! I walked and walked and walked yesterday at Busch Gardens, so I'm counting that for Friday!

[angleigh]

Mine too... I've not been very good lately. Letting "real life" get in the way I guess.

[CRS]

Ugh...my ehd died! I have the worst luck with those! But the good news is that the Shredders Chart was saved on my desktop, not my ehd!

Sorry I haven't been checking in daily. I've been hit and miss so far, but hopefully this next week will be better.

Monday - Oct 15: nothing
Tuesday - Oct 16: 30 mins water aerobics
Wednesday - Oct 17: 30+ mins walking
Thursday - Oct 18: 30 mins water aerobics
Friday - Oct 19: Physical therapy and walking, but not contiguous

I have been having major neck and shoulder pain as well as that injury to my achilles tendon in May. I went to an orthopedic specialist and he's got me going to physical therapy. Yesterday was my first session and it actually helped my neck lots! They didn't have time to do my achilles too (I was there 2.25 hours) so they'll start treatment on that this coming week. I am just limping around doing what I can, that is why the water aerobics has been really helpful. The real bummer is that I had been on a major anti-inflammatory for 4 months and with that and stress I've developed and ulcer so I can't take anti-inflammatories for now and Tylenol isn't really helping as much as I'd like. He did start me on an acid blocker that has been helping. Sigh, at least I can do something to help it all get better. My neck and back did really feel much better after the pt. I was really worried it was going to be awfully painful so that was a very pleasant surprise.

I haven't figured out what exercise I'll do today, but probably floor exercises or something where I'm not on my feet so much.

Keep going gals! You are my inspiration!

[CRS]

First post is updated with current chart. Could you all please check it and make sure I'm not missing any workouts you've done? Thanks!

[Cheri T]

Saturday complete: 30 minutes Jillian's 6 Week 6 Pack

[Smiles]

Sat. done - half an hour on the exercise bike.

[englishrose]

Saturday - more walking! 2 x 20 minutes. Sunday looks problematical at present. It's raining and I have visitors for lunch.

I'll look at the chart and see if you have any holes to fill. Keep in mind Sunday is a rest day or makeup day if you want it to be!

[AmandaFace]

Been camping this weekend, so lots of walking for Sat and Sun. After wading through emails and such I'm gonna try to get something else done today too.
