Our Exercise Challenge!

Well, he just doesn't know what he is missing, nicgirl!! lol!! He probly thinks we are just a bunch of silly old hens (okay, I know I am, but some of these folks aren't!) lol!!

I didn't get down to the Gazelle yesterday, so I only got the Wii EA active done, but that was a pretty good one, so it definately counted....today I have done 35 minutes of cardio on "the Wave". It is kind of like a step, but it is curved and you do lots of different kinds of exercises with it including rocking and stepping. It is pretty fun, but it kicked my out of practice behind!! Oh my goodness!! I probably won't be able to get out of bed tomarrow!!

And on top of that, I got some new office furniture for our home office, and so I have been moving all kinds of stuff around today. Luckily hubby was around to help me load it in the truck, but then he left, so I got to unload it into the house all by myself. Such a nice guy!! Lol!!

So, there's my exercise for the day!! How's everybody else doing?????? You all had better be kicking some behinds in gear!!

Come on!! MOVE MOVE MOVE!!

lol!!

Hello Ladies,
I just realized you guys were doing this exercise challenge. Count me in. Tonight I plan on doing the elliptical for at least 20 minutes.

Let me know how you all are doing...I will come back later to let you know what I get done today....I know I have to load some hogs for market, but I am going to try my darndest to get some REAL exercise in at some point!

You too, mzcris!! Stairs can be a killer!! Why do you think that they have an exercise machine that is just like it!?! lol!!

I haven't "exercised" yet today, but I just got done loading up 30 hogs to go to market....let me tell you, those things did NOT want to go on that ride! lol!! I must have sweat about 3 lbs off just running back and forth between the building and the gate!! Not to mention the one that decided to try jumping over the gate and came eye to eye with me!!! I thought it was trying to give me a kiss!! Nothing sweeter than kisses from a 280 lb, covered in hog poo, pig!!! NOT! lol!

Anyway, the twins have a play date at a friends house, the one son is helping grandpa at his farm, and the other son is riding with his dad to deliver the hogs....so I am hoping that I will get some quiet time to do some constructive exercise!! Although I'm not real sure I am going to have the energy for it after this morning!! I'm certainly going to try, though, in between the rest of the chores that have to be done while hubby is gone.
