Werkin' Out

What are you ladies doing to stay active this week?


GTKY:  Any vacations planned this summer?

[empireceo]

What are you doing to stay active this week?  I have spin class today, weights on Wed, Pilates on Thu and I will be running 3.2 miles as part of the virtual run for Cle this weekend.  I hope to get one more run in there too.

GTKY:  We are heading to San Diego for two weeks at the end of July.  My H's whole family goes there and we all rent houses on Mission Beach.  I can't wait.  I love me some beach time.  I am even excited about the 4 day road trip, since we just got a Yukon XL so it will be super comfy to ride there with the kiddos.

What are you ladies doing to stay active this week?
I'm hoping since I'm gradually feeling better that I can get in a workout or two. It's just me and DD today/tomorrow so I really want to take her out to parks and run around with her. I'm just trying to choose moving around instead of laying in my bed at this point.


GTKY: Any vacations planned this summer?
This week is my vacation week! We leave for Cinci on Wednesday and I can't wait!
We are also doing a long weekend camping* in Gettysburg in July. I love visiting there.

*my camping involves an AC cabin with a shower and toilet.

empireceo my FIL drives a Denali and I love traveling in that thing. So comfortable.

What are you ladies doing to stay active this week? I am going to start my online prenatal yoga this week. **I am going to start my online prenatal yoga this week.** (Need to convince myself.)


GTKY: No Booo

[kelle017]

I just got a fitbit last week and I've found I'm already moving a lot more. I can't be the last among my friends.

[kh59]

I ran this morning. It was hard, and I'm super slow now. I didn't just give up and go back to bed, though, so that's a win, right?

I think we're going to North Carolina for a week to visit some friends--should be fun!

[salsawifey]

No exercise for me the first trimester because I'm high risk.  It's unfortunate because I could have stood to lose about 10 lbs before I got pregnant. 

GTKY: No plans for vacations.

Total win! Nice job.

Really fallen down on this front. Exhaustion is just killing me. Hoping to get more active once my energy levels rebound.

GTKY: None planned unfortunately.  We'll see if we pull something small together at the last minute.

[akraus2015]

Prenatal yoga again tonight, yay! I am also going to run 3.2 for CLE this weekend. I brought my workout clothes to work in case I have time for a mid day run today, but it depends on how my day goes.

GTKY: Not sure, we tend to do lots of last minute vacations. We bought a trip to Vegas for July at a charity auction, but I don't think we are going to end up using it. Between our recent wedding and honeymoon, doctors appointments, and eventually maternity leave, I'm going to need to save as many vacation days as possible!

[lazyreader]

What are you ladies doing to stay active this week?
Yard work. moved a giant pile of gravel from the front yard to the back yard. But seriously we count an hour of Yard Labor as a workout of the day. Everyone loves a little CropFit. I'm also going for some meaty walks with the stroller. Pushing a stroller while walk/jogging on no level ground is enough for me. Only up or down hills - and they aren't low grades either. I'm going for buns of steel.

GTKY: Any vacations planned this summer?
Couple weddings in early fall that I have no idea how big I'll be. Travel for the 4th of July. Add a camping trip and a random trip to Grandpas/Vacation Home. Summers are busy in this house.

[cassey910]

I am doing Barre about 5 times this week. I also walk almost everyday.

GTKY:
We have already went to Florida for vacation in May. We are also going to Michigan for a wedding in August.

[mrsred09]

Unfortunately I've been forbidden from running, walking more than short distances or going to the gym until the end of 1st tri gotta love being high risk. I hope I get released for light work during 2nd tri...momma needs to run!

GTKY: we are taking DS on his first Disney cruise this summer. He is so excited that he gets to come with us on the Mickey ship. (DH and I went on a Disney cruise in February and didn't bring DS and he was so sad when he couldn't get on the boat with us and had to spend the weeks with g'ma and g'pa)

Checking in late here...

What I'm doing to stay active: going to Bootcamp twice this week. Also walking the dog and hopefully taking him on a nice hike this weekend if it's not too hot for him.

GTKY: we will probably just go to my parents beach house for July4 and Labor Day, not much other than that!

britterrss what is your online yoga class?

Where at in Michigan?

[bravolebrity]

Still just walking for me, per my RE. Though, I got a fitbit and walking has been a bit more fun now that I can be fake-competitive with my friends.

GTKY: I'm going to a wedding in California wine country later this summer.

Yeah I've done it for a year and renewed this month. There's so many to choose from but I haven't yet tried the prenatal ones.

I had the good intention of taking the nice day and the little one I nanny on a 3 mile walk yesterday. I didn't think that the $1 flip flops I was wearing at the time would be a problem, but ohmygod my feet today:

So can we start up a work out accountability thread? I've fallen off the bandwagon really hard. Literally just made biscuits and am eating them soaked in butter (partially because it's all I can stomach right now). On GKU we did 30 day challenges and daily check ins. It really helped me stay on track. Anyone interested?

I'm in. I didnt want to be the annoying bitch posting every day but I like people reminding me to get off my ass.

on a sidenote, SheilaTheTank, I thought the UO thread you posted in GKU was in this BMB and I almost peaced the hell out.

Was this the April '15 debacle?  I have yet to wade through all of that, but yikes.

It's eyeopening to say the least.

Oh god, it's too early for there to be that much crazy up in this board.

I just want to say this now: I won't tolerate racism, bigotry, or religious fanaticism so everyone better say their stupid shit now or forever hold their peace.

I would totally get on board with that. What I really need is someone to come pull my lazy ass out of bed every morning, but an accountability thread might be the next best thing.

Based on my experiences with my previous BMB, I'm going to add spanking babies and stealing to the list.  K thanks.

HOLY SHIT. I missed this yesterday. Is it worth reading the 40 pages? Do people eventually explain how wrong and awful these people are?!
