You're not doomed, Alison. This is just a temporary set back. You're ankle will heal. for the time being you could limit your calories, drink your water....Hey, have you tried water aerobics? Or any kind of water exercises? Those may be good for you since the risk of injury is less in a pool...

I also still think you should consult a personal trainer or some exercise person. They might be able to set up a program that will work for you.

You are not doomed.

Thanks guys... needless to say, my self-defeatest attitude doesn't help at all... just makes me upset since I was sort of getting into the groove of working out, and then all this happens...

I am in the walking cast thing for a few more days (at least) and I am suppose to go get a check up in a few days to see how things are going... I am still so sore... she hit us HARD (we were in an accident by the way... stupid woman rear-ended us).

Age-a-licious, Mari and everyone else. Thanks so much for all the help. I think I'm going to wake up earlier and ride the bike. I usually can get up to 6 miles in 15 minutes. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You might want to look into pilates. I ordered the Winsor Pilates dvds awhile back, and although I wasn't as pleased as I'd hoped to be, it did wonders on my abs.

So guess what? I went shopping today for a short while, and the sweetest suprise awaited me.

Earlier this week I had tried on my friend's skirt which was a size 6, and to my suprise it fit me beautifully. So when I went shopping today I decided to look at things that were size sixes. Thought I'd live a little [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

Well, when I was looking I found this one black skirt I couldn't find a size that went past a size 4! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

But I thought to myself, "I might as well try it on, worse thing is it won't fit, and that wouldn't be the biggest suprise, nor the end of the world".

So I tried on two size 6 skirts, and one size 4, followed by a pair of capris that were also a size 6.

Not only did the size six items fit, but so did the size 4!

I about screamed in my dressing room!

I've been a size 8 for as long as I can remember, and before that a 10 and a 12. I never dreamed that I'd ever own anything smaller than an eight. I'd fantized about size 6 before, but a size 4 was never a reality.

So I bought the size 4 skirt, and for the first time in a long time I'm proud to share my legs with the rest of the world. And since I'm 5'9 and a 1/2, there's a lot of leg to share.... [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

That's awesome!! Congratulations [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
How did you get down that many sizes? I'm between a 10 and 12 right now and desperately want to get down to a six...and a four [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] That'd be marvelous!

I just started exercising today..did stair-step machine for 20 minutes and then did various exercise machines for another 25 minutes.
What exactly is the Special K challenge? And has anyone tried it and had it work?

briansluv · 04-06-2004, 03:29 PM

Me too... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I am still in the walking cast thingy... this sucks.

Hey dudes I know it's been a long time. Finals week and spring break and then this quarter starting. I have been exercising regularly even though finals week! Spring break a little less but I was doing construction work so I was lifting a little, raise the roof!...haha. For the last quarter I got a 3.8 GPA...3 A's and an A-...yeehaw! And now this quarter I only have two classes and an independent study so I have more time...however I work 12 hours a week and have Ultimate frisbee practice 4 to 5 times a week for two hours, so I am staying active. However I have still not really gotten off my plateu and it's making me mad. I'm well, but I should still watch what I eat..any good suggestions for healthy lunches, that can be eaten quickly....or in a bookbag for the day?

100 sit ups + climbing stairs three times + walking 2 blocks + 25 lunges + 25 toe touches= one sore and still body.

owwwww....

Age-a-licious · 04-07-2004, 01:24 AM

I think the reason that my body never hurts after I do situps is because I do a combo of different situps to lead to the 200 that I do every night.

First I start off doing the regular one with my hands behind my head.

Then I do the Britney spears version where I interlock both legs and raise them to the ceiling doing sets as I go to the right and then the left.

Then I put both legs down on the ground put one ankle ontop of the other knee and then do a set of situps like that. Then I go the other way.

Then as Im finishing off my sits up, I sit up slightly and work my legs like im running that way i feel more pressure in the abdomen.

Those are the ones I do and they're awesome! I notice that my tummy has gotten a bit smaller. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Still in the ankle brace... stupid no working out. Not that it was really working all that well anyways.
