Did mostly yardwork last week-I was on "vacation" in New England helping my mother out, so no gym. Came back, went yesterday-this whole travel thing will be difficult to work into the workout schedule.

Down three pounds so far, and in much better shape.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Back neck and shoulders doing far better. Much much less pain, and some minor stiffness. Much better.


Bike still muckles me, but at least I'm getting back to normal.

I'm not joining a gym for a week, thankyouverymuch.

I work enough on my vacations, and instead of the push ups and situps, I caught the house up on around 2 years of yardwork. I ate like a pig and still lost weight, so, I worked enough.

Alot of Gym's will let you workout for free for a couple of day's. I have done it numerous times.

Hard work does not replace exercise, ask anyone who works outside everyday.   ;)

Well, I'm super-late to this thread, but I can share a lot.

Couple of big themes;  1) I'm getting treated for Sleep Apnea 2) I'm seeing a personal trainer 3 times per week, and doing cardio work 2 or 3 more times per week (I'm in the gym M-F at LEAST) and 3) my goal is for cardio fitness and weight loss of about 70-75 lbs.

Thanks for letting me share!

Well, it's official, in less than 2 months I've lost over 20 pounds, have gained cardio fitness, and I'm due for new bloodwork (just to check it) next month.

Thanks again for letting me use this thread for semi-public humiliation and motivation!  [thumbsup]
