Tuesday ...
Ummm....Hmmmm.
Does making a mad dash through the grocery store count?
What about a little weeding of the garden? It's looking like a jungle with weeds and I need to give a little more attention than the 5 minutes I give when picking the jalapenos.
It's hotter than heck again, humid and just plain miserable outside.

Move It September, Day 19
Monday. Ick. Really, this is the determining day for the week ... and I failed :( FAILED.
No, I didn't move it today. I wanted to but just didn't have the motiviation, desire, willpower, ambition, whatever.
Crumb.

Move It September, Day 18
ahhh...Sunday. And FINALLY I feel like a million bucks!
Today was a Costco run. And that, my friends, IS a workout!
Not to mention, the 25 crunches :)
So how about it, did you Move It?

Move It September, Day 17
Saturday. Not normally a very motivating day to Move It!
We did however go boating. After 12 hours of straight sleep, I felt like a new woman and told Hubby I was up to it.
Something about being out on the ocean, with the sea breeze and the salt spray really just makes everything OK for the moment.
Does anyone else get that feeling?
Anyways, todays Move It was boating. Being that we went to Lake Boca, there was plenty of swimming and jumping in and out of the boat!

Move It September, Day 16
It's Friday, I Don't Care It's Friday!
Yeah, It's Friday.
And I've discovered that perhaps, I'm allergic to Amoxicillian? Up numerous times over night tossing the cookies. I don't think that counts as a workout but regardless, weak, and just plain UGG today.
No workout. Whatsoever. Also barely and food intake which is NOT recommended.
Saturday is another day!

Move It September, Day 15
Thursday ... moving right along ...
3.4 miles. In 50 minutes. Shaved off 8 minutes by doing more jogging and a few sprints.
Of course, if you were driving down A1A and saw an old lady looking like she was going to keel over, that was ME :)
How about it, did you Move It today??

Move It September, Day 14
Wednesday ... and a headache yet again ... uggg
Hubby wants to take me out for dinner tonight so I'm skipping (yet again) another day.
I did do 30 crunches this morning and 20 push ups total. Not much but something is better than nothing.
Ironically, a girlfriend called to see if she could borrow the P90X to see if she likes it enough to order the set. I was like, forget that, just give me the time you want to come over EVERY DAY to do it with me. My living room is HUGE and open so two people could easily do it together.
Of course, I don't do all the dvds, are you kidding? I'm weak :)

Move It September, Day 13
Finally!
I feel better (still a little headache, but nothing like it's been).
AND ... it was sunny (with a few clouds) and a light breeze when I got home at 6pm. So on with the walking/jogging/running/crawling to Sunrise and back.
3.4 miles total.
58 minutes.
Needless to say, not a whole lot of running/jogging mixed in there.
I'm really excited in that I ordered some new shoes today. Man oh man, I hope they are good for my poor feet. New Balance Women's WT20 Trail Minimus shoes... paid $45.42 after my Swagbucks and Amazon points. Heck of a lot better than $99.99 plus tax and shipping ...
Not so sure how much this will help me out because I also have the stamina/breathing/runny nose issues :)
So how about it...are Moving It In September??

Move It September, Day 12
Monday .... ahhhhhh.....
I still felt like crap. Headache, woozy, just weak and icky.
I did move boxes at work.
And I made it a point to do walking squats when I walked down the long hall at home.
But that pretty much sums it up for the day.

Move It September, Day 11
It's the 10 year anniversary of the most tragic day in the history of America.
I had every intention on doing SOMETHING active today.
However, woke up with the migraine headache and major neck ache (right at the base of my skull {shudder}) that made me want to throw up.
Hubby must have seen it in my eyes. He was super sweet today. So was Kitty Kitty. And Gman.
So no Moving It In September this Sunday. There is tomorrow ...

Move It September, Day 10
Its' Saturday. ...which is really a BAD day for me to plan an exercise program.
Should I do the Plyo?
Or maybe go for the Core?
Both are P90X kick but dvds. Uh huh.
I opted for boating instead. Yeah, boating is a workout ... especially if we are out in the ocean blasting around, gotta use the leg muscles to balance yourself :)
I'm proud to say that I did not drink a single beer. I had a few sips, but honestly, 4 maybe 5. They didnt' taste good so this no drinking thing may just work afterall! Woohoo!

Move It September, Day 9
We are doing some heavy duty cleaning and reorganizing at the office and that is what my workout consisted of today ...
Moving 51 boxes. Yes, 51 file boxes. OMG.
Moving 6 file cabinets, Yes, they were empty BUT do you know how heavy metal file cabinets are? Dang heavy. Of course, all the manly men in the office were like, no no, we got it and I'm like NO NO, let me help! :)
I know it was a work out because dang, my shoulders ached the next day!

Move It September, Day 8
Pouring rain when I got home, as in borderline flooding.
So I turned on the dvd player and stuck in the P90X Plyo cd. Great cardio and leg work out.
Except, I forgot how hard it IS. But if it's not HARD then it's not worth it I suppose? Not my motto, trust me!
So I managed to do 30 minutes of it. Uh huh. That's it. And my legs and butt are on FIRE.

Move It September, Day 7
Uh huh, I'm FINALLY feeling better ... so here's today's deal!
Walked. Sort of.
Went to Doctor for follow up. Sent me to hospital for x-rays. Hospital is about 5 blocks one way. It was early still in the day and well, heck, it was NICE outside. So I walked. 10 blocks total. Not to mention the walk through the hospital maze. Funny, a squirrel kept coming up to me ... was just a little too close for comfort. :)
For once when I got off work, the sun was sort of shining, and NO thunder and lightning. Unfortunately, Hubby wanted to do a stop at Bed Bath & Beyond to replace the rugs given to Sonny Boy.
So I had to satisfy myself with just doing 20 crunches and 10 pushups. Woohoo. Better than nothing!

Moving It In September - Updates
Well, I am sort of off to a crappy start, if I must be truthful.
Sure, I've done walking lunges (50 total), chair (counter) dips (say hello to those triceps!), push ups and sit ups and crunches and squats.
But nothing that I can honestly say was a REAL effort ...
I've been sick. Good lord, be over it already. Waiting for the antibiotics to kick in.
And for the weather to clear up. See, being sick also makes me TIRED. As in, that alarm goes off at 5:30, I jump up, turn it off and then lay back down for oh, I say, 5 more minutes. Ummm... 7:15am?? Hellooo???? ... I work too.
So then I said, ok, gonna have to do something in the evening (primarily, I want to do a walk/jog/run/crawl of almost 3 1/2 miles). You think the weather would hold out, don't ya? I mean, come on Mother Nature ... seriously, every stinking evening, Monday through Thursday, it rains, thunders and .... {shudder} LIGHTNINGS. Not exactly what I want to do next to the ocean, ok?
So, I'm not giving up just yet. I see the jointy doctor tomorrow. Lets see what SHE says as for the lingering sickness and tiredness (I know it's tied together and could even be something with whats going on in general with me) ... and go from there.
But by golly, I am going to MOVE IT!

Move It In September, Day 1
Day 1. Ironically, it's also September 1st. Ha. What do you make of THAT?
I had good intentions when I went to bed last night.
I laid out my running shoes, socks, sports bra, tshirt and shorts to just throw on. Set the alarm to 5:30 am and said I would just throw the clothes on, pull hair in a ponytail, put on ipod, and chew piece of gum. Do a run/jog/walk/crawl to Sunrise Blvd. and back down A1A. About a 3 mile round trip.
Alarm goes off. I lay back down. Think I'm awake until I look at clock again and it's 6:25. Crap.
Get up. Drag my butt to the coffee maker and turn it on. Which is I need to STOP doing, but another day.
Did a few exercises and said that this evening will have to be my motivational moment. Great.
20 bicycle crunches
10 full crunches
10 countertop deep pushups
I will update this evening.
UPDATED at 6:30pm
It was raining with a few boomers here and there so I grabbed the AB RIPPER X from the P90X set. Ugg
15 to 20 reps of each (as opposed to the 25)
In and Outs
Seated Bicycle (forward)
Seated Bicycle (backwards)
Seated Crunchy Frog
Wide Leg Sit Up (not sure why I find these easy?)
Fifer Scissors (um, no, I can NOT keep my legs straight and feet flexed)
Hip rock and raise
Heels to Heaven
Rollup / Vup Combo (no Vups on this end folks)
Olique Vups (right side is easier then left)
Leg climb
Mason Twist (40 total, did all)
Ummm...I know that my core will be sore tomorrow. It always is when I do this workout. But I did every stinkin exercise at least 15 reps, 20 where I could push it.
FYI - I think you can google the directions that come with the DVD set (The fitness guide gives step by step instructions) or look on youtube for a sample of the move if you don't know what it is.
So how about it ... did you Move It On September 1st?
