Jogged 20 mins on the treadmill this morning. Which is actually a big deal for me. When you get so out of shape, a little goes a long way in proving to yourself that you can get back up. Yipyip...

Maybe it was the seemingly weekly snow storms last month, but for some reason I've started to care again. For the past two weeks I've done push ups 3 days/week. You know you're out of shape when you do push ups and the next day your stomach is sore. I just need to remember that I hurt my shoulder last summer by doing too many too fast, and to take things slowly. And I'd really like to be able to do things without a stabbing pain in the top-front of my shoulder....
I've also been slowly sprinkling in additional exercises, too. With the emphasis on "slowly." After all, I don't want to start out too strong and kill what little motivation I have.

This week: cycled to work 4 times (the distance is about 52 km, a few kilometers through the forest, with some slopes).
Monday: going: 2h and 10 minutes, which is pretty good for me. Coming back in the evening: about 2 hours and 20 minutes.
Wednesday: a punctured tire on the way up, which took more than half an hour to replace, but for the rest it was ok. Afterwards I had some problems with the brakes, which sometimes touch the wheel. I'll have to readjust the wheel probably.
By the end of the week I was in worse shape though, and on Friday I had a pretty bad day. Going I had to cycle against strong winds, which nearly blew me off my bicycle. On top some of the road through the forest was very muddy and sticky. To make matters worse, my knee started hurting :
:. It took me nearly 3 hours. In the evening I had the wind in my back, but I wanted to save my knee, so I almost didn't peddle. It took me again 3 hours, and I was home after midnight. I hope I will recover next week, otherwise I'll have to leave the bicycle aside for a while.
Anyway, for those interested, a picture of the bicycle:

^ Hey! Seems like you did really good your first day
& I get what you mean when you look at all the people around you. The guys are basically made of iron when I walk in but I usually just use that as motivation to work out harder lol
Good Luck with your weight loss goals!

Felt extremely tired most of the day after that morning run, I thought you're suppose to feel fresh and ready to work? Anyway felt better by the afternoon and was ready for my evening ride, forgot my bidon though.
@Kiwong: I actually went back home to get my goggles. I also find the the chlorine irritated my eyes.
I actually do more workouts which I don't log in this thread mainly because I don't want to clog it up with all my post, I will wait for someone else to add their workouts first before I add mine.
Anyway keep it up everyone

WOW! Great work everyone!
went for a walk today
didn't really do much else, still to start an exercise program with more stuff.. I was doing some weightlifting with water-filled bottles a few years ago and it felt quite good.. not sure if I dare to do that again.. or just dancing/yoga/stretching..
Renegade, can you tell yourself that when you will have exercised and build a great body, the girls will look at you with admiring eyes etc? Like bsebring, it was similar motivation for me one year to work on my muscles for a certain event haha..
Maybe you can start early, or figure out a good time when there will only be a few people.. I think it's better to have a few people and so also work on your sa, than to exercise completely alone.. you may also meet someone friendly?

Tx. I duno if u really undersand the point I was talking about the girsl around me as a big distraction, and in my caseI dunno how could I use them as motivation ?
The iron guys you talked about are my motivation indeed
OK update log in the evening, thse last two days I skipped gym cause i had a flu and it were like -15 degrees outside and I walk alot on foot to the gym
Haha, well I just meant that I thought all the guys are hot and probably single so maybe they might be thinking the same about me which, in turn, motivates me to push harder to maintain my figure lol
It's just something to shot for dating status wise lol
...I know, it sounds kinda silly out loud but gotta maintain motivation somehow
Nice! It's heaps better when you have a race to train for
Which distance have you entered? Full Marathan, half, 10 or 5?
It's 88 days til my event, doing the half ironman

Good luck, bsebring, plenty of time to get fit for he half.
10 minute jog on the spot, my back is getting stronger.

I'm excited that you're excited about doing the half - you'll have so much fun, well maybe at the end of the run
I would love to say to someone " I am an Ironman!" - that be so cool :
: but at this stage I just hope I can be half of one. What is crazy about the Ironman is not the professionals but all the age groupers who enter and complete the event, people of all shapes and sizes. It goes to show almost anyone can achieve what they set their minds to. They are a true inspiration for me Wednesday 9th February
