[quote="ouinon"][quote="katrine"] You're so right - our bodies haven't evolved as fast as our life style! And yes, I could do with more exercise, too. I want to... more walks with my son. And longer ones! Also sit ups.... or yoga. Now the spring is here it feels wrong to be cooped up inside. If you walk tomorrow, I will too![/quote] :D Oh good oh good. I am planning to, and committed to it on here, so... :) :D 8)[/quote]

Despite my stress about the inspection, ( next week) , we went for a walk today ( the longer one too) .. .. .. because my son wanted to and insisted on it!!
So we went and it was wonderful. Everything was green and smelly and flowering and soft and so warm.

That's awful news about the laptop, Katrine. Hope it can be sorted out! And well done for keeping up with the running.
Ounion, maybe when the stress goes away it'll be easier to start up again? It'll give you a break for your body to stop itself from aching as well. ^___^
I didn't do any exercise while I was at my parents, but I'm back in Cambridge now, where I'll be for the next three months. I'm walking two hours to pick up my boyfriend from work each evening, which was how I lost all my christmas weight (I eat less here as well because it's harder to pop down to the shops and buy junk food). Unfortunately, the event that I wanted to loose weight for is on the weekend. Looks like I'm only going to be able to wear one of my costumes! There's another convention in October though, so if I'm good over the summer then I might be able to go as Suichi
(the one in the middle here)
, and since I've convinced my boyfriend to go as his boyfriend, that would be amazing and amusing. Then we'd have a pink wig and an orange wig and we could do the lead character and his partner from the World Ends With You too
(the boy in the middle and the girl to his right)
[/uninteresting]. So I'm going to keep it up over the summer, and then think again when uni starts up again. ^____^ We haven't managed to find Wii fit yet, but when we do, I shall be attacking it for half an hour or so during the day when I just play games anyway.

Still doing the running. Hope you guys are ok and still at it.
Ok, but hopelessly inactive. One walk last week, nothing since. Feeling stressed because of unanticipated, ( unlooked-for result of irresponsibly/accidentally/deliberately ambiguous wording of last year's amendment in law relating to homeschoolers etc) , attention from the french Academic Inspection. Tense till after date due to take papers/"school"-work to show them.
But also/mainly because aches/pains and stiffnesses got "ridiculous", considering was only gentle walks, and so decided to concentrate on diet again, anti-candida and/or paleo diet in hope of eliminating a myriad of mysterious and mounting health "niggles".
Sorry to hear about your computer loss.
That is serious.
Hope you get insurance/compensation to fully cover cost of replacement one.
Impressed to hear that you're still running. Hope you feel good on it. I may yet pick this up again. It just seems to be resistant to me, exercise, somehow.

Hi there -
any body still paying attention?
Still doing the running, but bogged down with work - really. So I haven't been near the computer. Also, my lap top, which was broken, got lost by the company repairing it.
Haven't bought a new one yet, and it makes all the difference when it comes to being online. Don't know why... but I haven't been online at all for a month!!!!!
Hope you guys are ok and still at it. May not post for a while...

Something sea-ish? Fish, seaweed and such?
I haven't done anything since I left oxford on thurdsay (except for the usual walking to/from places). ^^; My ankles have been misbehaving and I can't walk in the mornings. >< I'm at my parents house at the moment though, so I'm going to set up the bike and do half an hour with that later. ^____^

Walked again today.
45 mins, at aerobic exercise pace, with 8 year old son, in the sun.
I think the data I've been getting about hypothyroid disease has connected with something. But def notice how knees and side-calf muscles are stiff/inflexible and easily hurt.
Been eating a dose of something sea-ish every day for last 3 days.
How is everyone else doing? Hope are ok. Good luck and lots of big vibes for fitness.

It's good that you're walking again, Ouinon, think of all the good that'll come from it!
Don't worry, Katrine, you'll get there eventually. My dad took two years to build up his fitness levels again after breaking his leg, but now he's doing triathlons. o___O My target is to beat him in a race - he has the advantage of leg length and practise, but I have youth and light weight.
The first official day of my summer didn't go to well. >> I had to go shopping to get the things I need to go back to cambridge, and I found easter eggs on sale. So I've done 2000 star jumps so far, and I have 1500 to go. XD;; But I have no schoolwork in the way now, so I have more time to exercise. I'm hoping to be fit enough to start running by the end of the summer. ^____^

Nothing for 4 days, ( last one was friday morning; today is wednesday afternoon), apart from a small hill climb during a picnic on a mountain side on sunday; totally glorious. Eye-food.
Then today went for another 45 minute walk, in the sun. Good.
Congratulations everyone who's keeping this up so well. I lost touch with the
why
for a few days. But now thinking about my thyroid.
How are you feeling katrine? Is it having some effect?
Welcome, Purplefluffychainsaw

Great news with your BP. I have a friend who can keep her BP down by working out. Keep the good work up!
The runnings going fine - still 3 times a week. My son ran 15 km at school last week!!!! I'm no where near running that far....

They actually got done, which somewhat surprised me. I went to the doctors today, and my blood pressure's down, so I've been doing something right recently.
Now I just need to catch up with today's munchies from the bus back to oxford.
I spoke to my boyfriend over the weekend, and we're going to get Wii fit for the summer. ^___^ Which should help as well.
How is everyone else doing?

No, of course we don't mind!
What a lot of star jumps! 900 - fantastic! How did you go with the 1100 to go?
Medication can really make you gain weight. My son was on zypreza for a short period (did him no good) and he gained 10 kg in 2 monthes! It effects both appetite and metabolism. He is now on ritalin, which has the opposite effect....
Ouinon hope you enjoyed the sun - isn't it wonderfull!

Does anyone mind if I join in? I've been lurking on this topic since it started. ^^; I'm really impressed with how people have been able to keep stuff up! Keep it up!
I'm trying to do 500 star jumps a day (going up to 1000 next week), plus 500 for each chocolate bar/other unhealthy thing I eat, monday-friday. It seems to be working fairly well so far, even though I've only been doing it for a week or so. It's a last attempt on about a million diets to loose the stone I've put on on the medication I'm on, since I have a costume for a convention at the end of may that reveals my stomach (I don't expect to be able to wear it, but I'd still like to be able to lose as much as possible, then maybe I can wear it at the next convention in october).
So far, I've done pretty well. I'm catching up from the junk food I ate on the bus to get to cambridge yesterday at the moment - I'm 900 down, 1100 to go (and I'm going to do the next 100 after I've posted this). Every other day this week I've kept it up. ^____^
Also, take a look at this site my boyfriend found for me:
http://www.caloriecontrol.org/winweigh.html.
It's got a useful calorie calculator, showing you how much you need to eat in a day to keep up your current weight, and how much different activities are worth.

Congratulations on keeping up the running. I went for another long walk today, in the sun, with my son.

I'm not a big one on God - not in the regular sense anyway.
Good for you g0oing for a walk! Hope you and your son enjoyed it.
My 10 y.o. NT has been running with me
and wants to know if we can do it agian today!
Great really, and nice having some time with him - he often seems to go short when it comes to adult time - his HFA brother, and the just-3 year old seem to take up a lot of space.... we can actually talk while we jog - never thought I'd be able to do that.
So I'm on track with my 3 runs a week, almost done with the third week, and because of my son may well be doing more than 3 runs this week....
AND the suns shining
On the down side - I never did get to the second-hand store.....
