Kathy 's Excercise Log- WEdnesday

Hello Everybody I did not see my personal trainer last night because of snow storming. I did excercise last night at home. Did you make your excercise last night or this morning? 30 min on treadmill 20 for 3 sets sit up for upper abs with excercise ball 12 for 3 sets for push up with excercise ball 12 for 3 sets for triceps and bisceps(sp?) strentgh out I was watching my favorite show "the biggest loser" Ryan won the prize. He lost over 100 pounds while he was at home for three months and keep his new life style and excercise. My trainer knows me about my feeling toward weight scale. She send me something which I want to share with all of you. Don't relay on the scale alone. Even when I haven't lost pounds, when I take my measurements, I will notice I've lost inches! Don 't weigh in every day!! Keep it at once a week at the most ( Hey Everybody for me I will weight myself once a month !!!!) Remember your "water weight". It can make the scale fluctuate by as much as four pounds. Make sure you're drinking your water everyday. that always gets the scale moving! Remember the muscle weights more than fat. If you're working out, you're probably gaining muscle, not fat! reevaluate your eating, Are you sticking to themeal plan and suggested portion sizes? Be honest. Don't use as bad day as an excuse to eat! stick to the plan and you will see results! Focus on how much better you feel, that alone can keep you going when the scale is not moving! Make sure you are not skipping your workouts! Remember you other reasons for getting in shape- looking younger, clothes fitting better, getting healthy for your kids,looking hot for your mate. It is not just about you weigh!!! I like this tip from my trianer and I cut it out and put it on the board from work to remind me SMILE!! Hugs Kathy K

Hi Kathy, Thanks for the tips. I will cut them out too. I am skipping the exercise today, but I planned on one day a week off. Maybe tonight I will do something, but I doubt it... Anyway, have a good day. Drive safe if you have to go out. Anne

Hi Anne The road is not bad as ice road out there! I came to work at 500 am this morning! Enjoy your day off today for excercise Hugs Kathy K

I took last night off from exercise as planned. Even with my denial...I think I have another cold. Does not seem like the virus my family had last week..so I feel lucky for that! Tonight is water aerobics..I am really enjoying that! I so hate winter...today I was thinking how I could manage to move to Florida before my retirement years! I can dream can't I? Joanie

ok... my first post on the excercise log First of all I must say that I haven't been working out much at all... call me a slacker.... Yesterday my new Eliptical machine was delivered... so I will let you know how long I can manage to work out on that.... Well that's if I live to talk about it....we will see how it goes... I think i will be please with anything over 5 minutes.... I figure if i start small and try to do that twice a day.... Well it's better than nothing!!! becky (this could be my final post....ha ha)

Becky, Take easy to excercise like go walking because you got this surgery in two weeks ago and it needs time to heal your little pouch. keep mvoing around but not hard work excercise yet. Hope you measure your body before you start to excercise! Kathy K

kathy.. Your thinking of the wrong Becky. I'm over 3 months post op. I did my 5 minutes on the eliptical machine....my buns were burning...ha ha. I'm going to break up my exercise over the day.

Just got back from water aerobics. There is a different teacher on Wednesdays...and boy was that a great workout! I feel wonderful...even though my cold is at full throttle now! Hope the weather is ok to walk tomorrow Hugs Joanie

My plan for today is: Richard Simmons Blast and Tone DVD with 2lb dumbells Yoga for Dummies tonight with hubby If anything, I am looking forward to working out just to warm up. Have a great, warm, safe day everyone. Hugs, Maggie
