I walked the nature trail for 28 minutes after work. I need to keep more of a schedule for exercise. At least now the weather is a bit cooler so it will be easier to spend time outdoors. I can go to the pool on my days off.

off for my 2 mile hike. I may go for 3 if the rain holds off.

Good luck Dej! I hope the rain does hold off!

It was pouring this morning, but I still went out and walked. I got home after 30 minutes with completely drenched pants and shoes (my umbrella does little versus wind and rain lol).

Air's quite humid, head's a bit fuzzy today. Time to start working.

I mowed the lawn today...it took longer, since I had to reduce the size of my rows due to very long grass...took about an hour, and I was soaked and beet red when I finished...then took puppy for a short walk...I'm done...

[ewizabeth]

Deb,

That is REAL exercise. I wish I had time to mow, I love doing it when it isn't too hot. I like to make fancy diagonal rows.

I had DS get the bike down from the garage rack and tune it up. When it cools off later this afternoon I'm going for a ride. I need to work on homework now.

Ok, went for a 20 minute ride before sundown. It was nice and cool!

I played the Wii a couple of times over the past few days. Used the Wii Fit some for a few balance exercises. (I didnt fall over this time! yay!) and I've been doing the bowling games because my arms feel tired and sore a lot, and I figure I needed to move my upper body around some. Actually did a couple of strikes.

I need to beat my boyfriend's score on the bowling games. I dont like him having the high score on MY Wii.

The Wii Fit was nice to me when doing the annoying part where it weighs you and sees if you met whatever goal you set. I hit the weight goal (cant remember what it was) so apparently my walking at the gym has helped that part. I think the treadmill walking might have also helped to improve the balance.

I got a high score on the throwing snowballs at wii characters on the Wii Fit game. I'd never been able to do better than get a score of 2 or 3, and yesterday I hit the target 24 times (it's a balance game, you have to move side to side to fire the snowballs) This tells me that my balance got better (and so did my aim)

I think I'll go play a few more Wii games. I feel like doing the sword play game and beating up on some computer generated people. My arms hurt from playing that yesterday. I need to do it more so my arms wont hurt any more.

Hoping to go to one of the museums here in Omaha this week, so that's going to count as exercise because of all the walking I'll do there. Museum has an exhibit on George Washington Carver that I want to go see. (hoping the exhibit will have an example of one of his crochet projects he did. I've seen video of him crocheting, so I'm hoping they'll have one of his samplers) I'm just hoping I have the energy to walk thru the exhibit and see some other stuff at the museum.

I have to go beat up on computer generated Wii people now.

I've considered getting a Wii system but it might be like the exercise DVDs that I rarely use.

went for a 2 mile walk. its chilly here, so I picked up the pace, but it made me stumbly and clunky. I think cold can be just as bad as hot. I cant win.

All depends on the games you get. I play "We Cheer" (1 and 2, mostly 2 though!) for the exercise training (it really gets you moving, not for everyone, it's high energy, kicks my butt!).

There's "Wii Sports Resort" which is HOURS of fun. Archery, skiing, sword fighting And you can't mess with bowling on the Wii!

Did my 30 min walk this morning.. I was up nearly an hour before my alarm sounded. I dragged HORRIBLY this morning. Feeling the weather change (cold, rainy, damp giving way to dry skies and heat today) and it made me sluggish as all heck this morning. The last 1/4 of my walk was actually better than the first 3/4 when I just dragged the walk out and didn't enjoy as I normally do in the morning.

Will walk tonight, as it will be dry. Was pouring all evening last night and I will not go out in that. It was a white out with water!
