What exercise have you done today?

Way too windy to run, it just sucks the motivation away.

So... 5 minutes of running in place (high step), 5 minutes of intense heavy bag, 5 minutes of jumping jacks. No breaks, 15 minutes of brutal cardio that pushed me out of my comfort zone a bit. But while difficult near the end it was motivating and felt good (y)
 
I go to the gym 3 days a week. I work with a PT who helps me with working out on the machines and free weights. For the past 2 weeks, I have been working on my lower body. I have been using the leg press and leg extension. My hamstrings have really been tight, most likely due from sitting and not jogging because of the cold weather we had here in northern Florida. I try to do my stretches everyday, but some days I am just lazy.
 
1-mile walking workout on Thursday, then I took yesterday off. Back at it today; I'm going to shoot for the 2-mile workout, but we'll see. I just broke from my trying-to-eat-healthy diet and snarfed down some mini donuts (which I almost never eat: so much sugar and trans fats!), so I really need to do the 2-mile one.

~Bending down, lifting pails of water to pour in my mini washer
~Climbed four flights of stairs
I know....not big deals as exercise goes, but it's more than I've gotten in several days.
That sounds good to me, @OneEyedDiva! It's activities like those that help.

I've been so stressed with deadlines lately that I've been bumping my exercise down to virtually my last priority, which is not good.

I did do a 1-mile walking workout yesterday. It's only 15 minutes (but pretty comprehensive, using lots of muscle groups), but I suppose it's better than nothing, right? I'm getting anxious today, too, because of deadlines, so I'll probably at least try to work in another 1-mile workout.

I've lost some weight, but some of this excess abdominal fat does not seem like it wants to go anywhere, darn it. I'll keep at it.
