ACMESkydiver 0 #26 July 23, 2008 Quote I've silently been doing my own thing.... So far I've lost 15 lbs, and the first week of August I am starting a Beach Boot Camp for 6 weeks. 3 days a week of formation runs, and strength training at the beach. (I think I'm trying to kill myself). Oh and CONGRATS!!!! g 15 pounds -COOL!!!! Yesterday I rode my bike 4 miles and did a step and lift class. Today I'll do a 30 minute ab class and abother 30 minutes of cardio on my own.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

tigra 0 #27 July 23, 2008 I had a really tough/ good lower body workout with my trainer last night. Tonight is Zumba and whatever I can squeeze in before the class- maybe some abs and push-ups, bicep curls ....... I usually get to the gym about 45 minutes before the class starts and I'm generally too whipped after class to do anything but drive home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrFreefall383 0 #28 July 24, 2008 Quote Yeah, but we appreciate it. CG saved my dad's best friend when his boat smashed on rocks and sunk within minutes. Thank you for the kind words. That's just the job though, and we do it all the time. In fact, one of the cases Friday that I was out supporting was a grounding with 10 people aboard. And the case I quarterbacked on Saturday morning after 20 hours awake was a similar grounding where the guy called another local resource beforehand. Unfortunately we couldn't get to his boat before it sank, so harbormaster yanked him off and picked up his wife and dogs in a dinghy that got lost in the fog. We just played environmental cleanup after the boat went down. By the time I went to sleep after that case, it was 0900 Saturday, and I had been awake for 29 hours straight. Secured 4 hours of sleep, and went right back at it again. Talk about crew fatigue. But everyone around here just deals with it, makes it work. That's why this station has such a good reputation. On other notes, I started working out again tonight. Took my Monday and Tuesday off as actual liberty days to rest and recover. Today I did a 3 mile run and tried to beat my usual time, and did by about 7 seconds. Then I did a bunch of ab work and some lifting, and tomorrow it's more ab work, tons of pushups, and some leg work. Then it's a well-deserved weekend off, and I'll definitely be doing more than my usual share of crazy fitness shit. Biking, swimming, running, lifting, everything I can do, I'll do."If at first you don't succeed... well, so much for skydiving." - aviation cliche Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yesterday I did a cardio lift class in the morning (I didn't feel like going I was worn out again, but I dragged my butt to the gym and I'm glad I did. I made a business contact while there! So the good news is that I have officially dropped the 3 lb hand weights and now am using 5 and 8's instead of 3's and 5's. It doesn't sound like much, but when dealing with some pretty overwhelming joint and muscle issues that is a HUGE step. I have another chiropractor appointment this morning at 10:30, then I'll workout at the gym on my own. I sure like doing a class better because it pushes me harder, but timing wasn't going to work out for me today. I might go test out my new bicycle seat though later on! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #30 July 25, 2008 My Zumba class is a lot of fun. We've also got a really good instructor- great personality, good energy, etc. Its funny though because before she was "Zumba" certified, the class was just "Latin Cardio Dance" and we were all so used to that class and her method of teaching that she really need to ease us into the whole "Zumba" thing. Its similar but different! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #31 July 25, 2008 If you want to boost your workouts, offer to help someone remodel a house or pack to move. That's what I've been doing the last few weeks for myself and have lost weight while not necessarily eating well the whole time and I've been skipping workouts. Three people have called me thin within the last week; that is an adjective that is not usally associated with me!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
