Wednesday~Workouts~

Ok I'll get this started?? I guess my east coast friends have not woke up yet!!

Abs, Shoulders, Arms & 45 minute spinning class!! It was a good workout this morning!!

On a good note I hit a new low today 222lbs!! Now if I can hold on to this weight and get a little lower I can finally hit my goal of 220lbs!! I been so close for about 3 months now!!

Congrats on the new low! 25 minutes of running for me today. A recovery week in the triathlon training program.

WOW!  That's awesome!  I wish I could say that I was losing, but am not...I'm gaining.  Not sure why, but it is VERY frustrating!

Anyways...today is kinda...sorta...a rest day for me, I have dance class tonight for 2 hours.  It's not constant moving for the 2 hours, but quite a bit of it is moving, yoga/pilates/ballets type moves....

Enjoy your day!

when I was at the gym last night I ran into my friend (who is supposed to run the 5k with me)

he asked if I have been losing any weight (he knows its a goal of  mine)  I said nope....nothing yet. & havent retaken my measurements again...I'm waiting a month.  I asked if he's lost or doing whatever he's trying to do.  he has lost weight.  (jerk)

so today I made an appt with the exercise guy from my surgeons office so I can get the scoop on what I'm doing well, what can be improved, etc.  I'm looking forward to it!  I dont want to just be spinning my wheels.  I'm results driven

30 min elliptical. my knees kind of hurt today.

Good for you Kevin!   I am not losing.  I have actually gained 9 pounds since having to take prednisone steroids for a wicked sinus infection.  I had to do two rounds of steroids and shots.  I just finished the steroids and now I am hungry all the time for the first time since surgery.  Yikes. Today I did an overall weight training workout for an hour and 15 minutes.  I had a hard time keeping my heart rate in the zone.  It kept falling lower than I wanted it.  I really had to work at it.   I am pleased to be able to move up some more on weight though.

I needed to have gotten up earlier, but I did 30 min on the eliptical and 30 min on the treadmill, 100 crunches, leg lifts and "butt" work and also side bends.  I need to work on my "middle aged middle" LOL Oh happy day -- it's Iowa and cold again...it was only 10 below when I went to work out this am.
