Not much to report this week, as Dee injured her poor, poor shoulder/back muscles after last Sunday's attempt at being Super-Exercise-Girl!
Sunday 1/30/2011 [day off]
9:35 am - Dee - Gazelle Level 1 (20 min, 1.5 miles)
That be it! Other than some choreography rehearsals (which we have one to attend today as well), she's been resting and I've been lazy.
Awesomeness!

Man Down!!!
Actually, woman down! Dee had to submit to the pain of being injured, and skip the Shred today. She gave it a go for about 2 minutes, then switched to the Gazelle, where she did 1.5 miles in 20 minutes. I think we'll give her a little more rest time before we send her back in the cage with Jillian! She is NOT defeated by any means... she will have a glorious comeback! I'm actually more proud of her for admitting that she needed a break, than trying to struggle through and injure herself more. :)
I made an interesting, simple new lunch yesterday, based on a Trader Joe's marinara sauce. I'm in the process of formulating my own sauce recipe, so I can post a genuine "recipe" up here. :)

Exercise Recap: Week 4
It's the end of Week 4, and my exercise this week is extremely easy to count... I'll give you a hint... it's a nice, round number... :) Dee kept it up quite nicely, though:
Sunday 1/23/2011 [day off]

Dee hurt her back muscles pretty badly after that first Level 2 Shred, and wasn't very mobile all day Sunday. I had to leave for a music practice at the church, and while I was gone, she decided to get up and Gazelle for half an hour! Apparently, it felt good to exercise, but when she was done again... not so much. Poor, broken Dee!
She did get in over 3 1/2 hours of exercise this week. Oy...

Exercise Recap: Week 3
All righty, we've reached the end of the exercise for Week 3 (technically Week 1 of officially exercising, but Week 3 of the healthy lifestyle do-over). Here's what we did:

Whew!!! I tried to do something productive at least every other day, and worked in a total of about 1 1/2 hours of exercise for the week. Dee went the "every single day" approach, and got in just over 4 1/4 hours of exercise this week!
Weigh in tomorrow morning!

A Sore Subject...
We somehow magically arose at 6:00 am today, crept past a flock of sleeping roosters, and got laughed at by a group of bats, who heckled us for daring to be awake before they'd even started thinking about going to bed!
Dee decided to hop on the Gazelle for 20 minutes, crunching out 1.4 miles, while I opted to take the morning off and lay on the couch with my eyes closed, brimming with moral support. :) I think I'll try to push for adding some exercise 3-4 days per week, and she'll be going for a bit more than that.
After dance rehearsal last night, and kicking the exercise back in, Dee has become quite QUITE sore... but I guess it's a "good" sore. It's an "I'm accomplishing something awesome" sore. Mine always seems to be an "I could have slept for HOW many more minutes?" sore... :P
In an effort to liven things up, we've gotten ourselves some uber-trendy Zumba discs to blend in with the Core Rhythms, and we may have to give them a go this weekend...
If we still have any energy left, that is...

Is my alarm clock even awake that early?
We got up early this morning. To exercise. What... in... the... world...? (It was Dee's idea!) :-D
Yes, our trusty alarm clock blasted out a whine at 6:30am... a time I've become unfamiliar with since parting employment with a big-box retail outfit over a year ago. The store used to open at 6:00am, and I seem to have strange, horrible memories of waking up around 4:45am most mornings... *shudder*
She skipped and I trudged out to the den, where she burst forth with 20 minutes of Core Rhythms while I "Gazelle-d" half a mile in 11 minutes. Then: breakfast, shower, work, coffee. Here we be, no worse for wear. It's amazing what you can (be forced) to do if you put your mind to it. :)

The Dreaded E-Word
"Food Is Health; Exercise Is Fitness" --Tony Horton
Tony who? Yeah, he's the P90X guy. No, we're not doing P90X (not yet, anyway... but it is on Dee's eventual goal list) but that's means it's time for... EXERCISE...
Okay, it's not as bad as it seems. We were watching QVC this morning, as they were hawking the P90X program, and we got inspired to kick it to the next level and start our Gazelle / Core Rhythms routine again, as we've done in the past.
Dee started on the Gazelle this morning and did 2 miles in 30 minutes. Then she put on the Core Rhythms 38-minute full workout while I plodded along on the Gazelle for 15 minutes, doing 0.9 miles. I will work up to better than that, but I haven't exercised in eons. :)
So, we're feeling good... feeling inspired... hopefully, it will last. We'll have to get our workouts in on the weekends, because between work, theatre rehearsals, and choir practice, we are completely consumed Monday through Thursday from sunup to sundown. We shall cram as much health as we can into our 3-day weekends.
Let's do this thing!

No Flies Allowed!
Last Sunday, our morning walk was cut short by a routine summer visitor... the dreaded yellow fly!
"Yellow fly?" I hear some folks asking... "What's a... yellow fly?" Dee wondered the same thing when she moved here, and I had always assumed that these beasts tormented the entire nation. Apparently, not true.
Ah, there he is... vicious little bugger. I decided to read up on them, and discovered that they seem to be localized to the swampy, marshy East Coast area. This past Sunday morning had been a perfect morning for them... weather starting to turn warm, but mostly overcast and not much wind. Plus, our walking path happens to be near a whole lot of trees, which is where these pesky flies like to hang. And once a group of these guys finds you, they won't leave you alone until they've bitten you thoroughly.
Anyway, long story short... after being mercilessly tormented by a swarm of these beasts, we've moved our workouts inside for this week... and perhaps longer. We'll see if that makes any apparent difference in our grand plan here, but I think we'll both be okay. We've been rocking on the Gazelle with a little Core Rhythms thrown in for good measure. We shall see on Sunday morning how we've done for the week!
Watch out for those yellow flies!

Exercise Update: Week 16
Well, we're in for the evening after completing our afternoon walk, and enjoying Chicken Chili with a side of grilled yellow squash for dinner, and sugar-free pudding for dessert.

10:17 am - Dee did 20 minutes at Level 2 on the Gazelle
5:00 pm - 1 mile walk, (both of us, 17min exactly)
Dee hit EVERY day this week, and I got in 6 out of 7 days! We're feeling good, seeing results, and loving every minute of it. We haven't gotten tired of my "healthy" recipes yet, as we both think they're delicious, and we'll hit the store tomorrow to get ingredients for the two new creations for the upcoming work week... a white bean chicken chili, and some sort of chicken veggie barley soup. I'll toss the recipes up here if they're worth a second look.
Weigh-in tomorrow morning! When we checked in this morning, the numbers were pretty amazing, compared to how we'd been doing all along... we're both stoked!!!
Woo!

Get Up, Come On, Get Down With The Swiftness...
Gazelle moved. Dee worked it. Woo hoo! She did 39 minutes on the Gazelle while I danced around and played some Guitar Hero, ha ha. (And I know the title of this blog post was a bad joke combining a song (which is actually on Rock Band 2 rather than Guitar Hero, I believe) with a gazelle characteristic... get it... gazelle... swift... all righty then...)
Food for the day has been pretty standard, but we are going to rock some air-popped popcorn tonight while watching a flick. I've been digging into the more interesting flavors of frozen healthy meals the last couple of nights, leaning toward the spicy Asian flavors, and that's been a really nice change of pace.
Get down!
