Every year I have a cookie baking day with friends. It's at my house this year, on 12/10. Everyone shows up aroun...

Hey guys! The monster is still here! <br /><br />Life's been a little hectic lately between work and school (I'm in college at night, gotta finish that degree!) and family stuff. But I've been fitting in time here and there to row! I admit I need to get back into a regular routine though, I haven't ...

Hey Jen!<br /><br />Yep I was able to avoid surgery <br /><br />When I'm stressed I eat major junk food - pizza, ice cream, pizza, cookies, pizza, did I mention pizza? But when I'm extremely stressed I go the exact opposite and stop eating entirely because my stomach gets so upset. Right now I'm som...

Well I'm getting back into my rowing routine and it feels good! My health is slowly returning to normal which makes me very happy.<br /><br />I'm having some family health issues (father and brother) which are really stressing me out so I'm trying to channel that stress into my rowing to work it out...

Hi Ducks!<br /><br />Well, it's looking less and less like I'll be needing surgery anytime soon which is good news! I have to see another doctor this week and we'll see what she has to say. <br /><br />In the meantime, I rowed tonight for the first time in two weeks since I got sick. Only did 10 min...

Well I've been sidelined temporarily. I started having major pains in my right side last Wednesday and ended up in the emergency room with what my doctor and the ER doctor thought was appendicitis. Fortunately it's not, but I"m still not out of the surgery woods yet. Let's just say "female problems"...

You're absolutely right Jen! This morning I got up and had a bowl of cereal and honestly just wanted to stay in my PJ's and watch TV! But I told myself "hey, let's do 10 minutes on the rower and see how it feels from there." I ended up doing twice that once I got started! Granted that's only 20 minu...

Well, row # 2 tonight and I'm moving along! I'm still in last place in the team rankings but not by much - my goal by the end of this weekend is to be OUT of last place!! <br /><br />My husband says I'm not using my back enough - when my legs are extended I'm not leaning back and so my arms are doin...

Hi Jenny - thanks for the welcome! <br /><br />Okay, I just signed up for my personal log book and the Ducks in a Row team - yay! So now when I update my log with my rowed meters/time, does it automatically go to the team total or do I need to also put it somewhere else?<br /><br />I woke up this mo...

Wow that was fun!! I only did 15 minutes at a medium pace - didn't want to do something wrong and hurt myself the first time out! I felt it in my thighs. My husband showed me how to do it right so I won't hurt my back. I'm very lucky to have him, he's the best coach I could have asked for! <br /><br...

Hi everyone,<br /><br /><br />I'm brand new to this forum - just registered about 5 minutes ago! My husband has one of these rowing machines and absolutely loves it (he's in fantastic shape) and I've tried it a time or two but never gave it an honest chance. So now here I am, very overweight and mis...
