Smartie's 2013 Bar & Grill #50

OK, so made a NY resolution to come up with a better work-out program than just walking from the parking lot to my bldg... so I decided to add stair-climbing to my routine. (Helps that I have 60 flights at my disposal)

So... I made it up one flight and took the elevator back down to my floor. Good thing nobody was on the elevator with me... mighta thought I was an obscene phone caller or something. *huff, puff...wheeze*

Back to square one.

Maybe a jump rope?

 

*laughing*

I'm not so sure jump rope is a good idea either Darlin', depending upon how you start. Perhaps you should lay the rope on the floor, and practice just stepping across it for a week or two.

...just lookin' out for you.

 

Excellent advice, darlin. I was just thinking the same thing myself.

Speaking of exercise, they say keeping the brain active is our first line of defense against old age.

With that in mind... how many of you can read this:

Be proud, only certain people can read this my ass. Who can't read it?

I'm like that with languages now as well, since I studied a couple of them. If I hear a foreign language now, the brain immediately starts translating it regardless of what it is. Weird...

 

Maybe start at 60 steps and then step in the lift.

It's not as funny today as it would've been yesterday, as I know this time tomorrow I will have been to the gym. I have a training course in February and require to attain a level of fitness I don't currently maintain. Do you want to join weight watchers? I need a peer group to pressurise me until February

 

I'm already a card-carrying member of WW online, Viv. And I'm not logging back in until I give myself a week to lose back what I had to have gained during the holidays.

I've been gone so long, when I log on, I'm pretty sure they'll have a big fat woman with a nightstick wanting to know where the hell I've been.

 

guess my resolution is eating at subway instead of macdonalds.

get taxes done early this year guys, its better to avoid the april 14 rush.

 

Do they still use all that point system nonsense? I haven't been for years.

 

Yes, they still use the same nonsense. Except now, you can scan a barcode with your smart phone and it'll tell you how many points you're fixin to eat.

Same nags... higher technology.

Mmmmm, I just had a 7 pt Healthy Choice Chicken Enchilada dinner.

Good morning and welcome to Frozen Thursday!

Brrrrrr, 26 degrees out there! WTH? I was a popsicle after walking from the parking lot this morning! Good grief, if I wanted to live in Chicago, I'd move to Chicago!

 

G'morning Smartie,

You know, there is actually something good of this. I read that shivering burns calories... that equates to one less step/stair to climb.



Catch you later, I'm going outside to sit in the cold! LOL

 

Wait for me, Ange. Wonder if that means you can work off a cheeseburger by taking off your longjohns?

Ugh, stairs... they're still there... taunting me.

The bldg has a stair climb to raise $$$ for some charity. Maybe I'll just wait and participate in that event. No use climbing stairs just for fun. *rolls eyes*

 

LOL

 

Take your vit B 6 it is suppose to help with metabolism. Instead of walking you could run up the stairs, when the metab get rejuved..

 

LOL, funny you should mention that, Daise... weight watchers only gives you exercise points for RUNNING UP STAIRS, not walking up stairs.

*mutters under breath: (*)(*)(*)(*) weight nazis*

I've got the B complex vitamins. Maybe I should double the dose.

Zzzzzzz

LOL

 

Ok, breakfast is served on the 16th floor. Come and gitit

 

LOL, yeah right... like I'd climb 16 flights of stairs for fruit!

I did manage two flights today... turned around and came back down. Good thing there was a guy coming into the stairwell so he held the door open for me. Otherwise, I'd had to sit on the bottom step until I got enough breath back to turn the door knob.

LOLOL

 

I think it is B6 that is good for metabolism.. I am taking it now and if I speed up faster that speed of light will let you know..

 

Was he good looking? Did you talk to him?

 

LOL, who could talk?

 

Yeah, Daisy... I bought a bottle of B-complex about a month ago (buy one, get one free)... but I couldn't swallow the darn things. Even broken in two... there were so dry and chalky, they'd get caught in my throat!! Finally went back to the drug store and found some that are chewable. Gummy pills... much better!

Anybody want a brand new bottle of HUGE vitamin B tablets?

 

One for Viv:
