I mean of course i still love y'all too, it would just be weird if I said "good night turkeys" to my mom.

I WISH i liked running. I despise cardio. I only lift. I reallllllly need to improve my cardio fitness though

You'll only love running when you find the high. But not everyone is cut out for cardio. I need to improve my lifting. Or my resistance band workouts, lol. I'm old so I just use bands now. Or gravity. That works too when doing pullups or pushups.

Walking is very good for you so just keep at it.

I have a gym quality stairmaster in my room . I try and hit that often, too. Thinking of trading it in for an incline treadmill though.

You'd be proud of me @Princess Gina Marie. I had a big ol' bag of Sour Patch Kids Extreme. And I'm sad now and want more.

Ughhh I need some so bad

I have run in the past (5k or so was my biggest distance back when I ran some) but I never experienced the runners high.

Nowadays I just lift. I'm obsessed with it and love it. Give me a barbell for squats, bench, etc and I'm happy. Make me run and ugh! I just need to do it I guess.

I can't lift anything. I am a weakling in that area. No upper body strength at all.

closest thing to candy for me today were popsicles. I ain't mad about it though.

You don't really have to, depending on how sedentary you are otherwise and how you pace your lifting and whether you're trying to control weight.

Or gravity

gravity has and will always be the best, people who lift (while it's better than nothing) weights get into lifting something only a simple way, stamina is where it is at for long term.

That's my problem. I've always had horrid upper body strength. Despite doing yoga and floor exercises for it. My upper body just says "nope!"

the only time I felt like I had strength in that are is when I was carrying around my babies. I could always heft them up to my hip and carry them around with one arm.

I understand I don't NEED it. But I get winded far too easily and would like to change that. I used to be way better in that department.

i just did a mean workout. That fork was heavy.

I pretty much use that to work out a lot. It's basically free and all I'm working against is my own weight. Which is plenty...so if I can push me away from the floor or lift me up over a bar, I'm freaking happy as hell!

 

[tricker]

push ups and more push ups

can I do civilian girl pushups? those count, right? I can do double of those compared to Marine style pushups!

effing show off.

What makes me feel like a champ is tackling flights of stairs with ease. I hope it carries with me as I age.

I took ballet lessons in my late 30's and loved it. I would still take now but my instructor passed away. You don't realize what you are still capable of even years after. It takes a little more time, but the human body is marvelous.

 

[Pippa]

That is awesome haha
