Stiff Neck

Skipping the gym today again.  I have a HORRIBLY stiff neck.  Probably from doing nothing yesterday.  It's so bad I may even dip into my left over Percocet.  I really hope I can go back tomorrow.

uggg no gym today

My husband and I only have one car.  He usually takes his motorcycle to work.  Unless, of course, it's raining.  Which it was this morning when he had to leave.  If I had known it was supposed to rain I would have gone for a jog outside before he went to work.  I LOVE the rain!  Oh well, can't win 'em all!

Took another weekend

30min, 1.58mi, 304cal

I think I 'm a bit dehydrated. I did do some weights.

On Saturday I decided to not go to the gym on the weekends.  My husband and kids are home, family time!

Yesterday

I was totally not feeling it yesterday.  Still, I went.  I was walking for about 6min when I noticed that I had forgotten to input my weight to get a calorie count.  I restarted, figuring I'd just go for 55min instead of the hour.  WELL, not even 10min into it my son decided to get into a fight with another child there.  I paused my machine, but by the time I got back it had erased my progress.  I think I did another 20min or so, not even bothering to get my stats at the end.  So no stats for yesterday, but I did go and I got a good sweat in. :)

Today,

60min, 3.18mi, 635cal

Plus I did some weights.  Figure I aught to add those in now and again.  Maybe Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Um, I'm bad at titles

8/23 60min, 3.04mi, 673cal
8/24 60min, 3.01mi, 661cal

A little less today.  I have loads of housework I need to catch up on, and it's hard to do when I'm tired from a killer workout.

I am thinking next week I may go for zero grade and try jogging.  Alternate weeks of walking w/ incline and jogging w/o.  We'll see how well I am able to keep up a good jog next Monday, eh!

Great Weekend!

60min, 3.05mi, 667cal

I increased the incline from 7.5% to 8.5%, and for almost 2 min I upped the speed from 3mph to 4mph.  I could feel it during the workout, but I feel great now.  I didn't add to much. :)

I did have an amazing weekend with my folks and friends.  Drank waaay to much beer, but I did feel myself missing my treadmill time.  That is very happy!

Eight Days in a Row!!

60min, 3mi, 617cal

Today is my 8th day in a row.  How exciting is that!  If we didn't have company coming this weekend I'd probably keep going.  When I get back to it on Monday I will increase the incline a bit.

Getting ready for a long weekend.

60min, 2.99mi, 615cal

I set the treadmill at 3mph, go for an hour and still don't get to 3mi.  I used to . . .


My folks are coming for a visit tomorrow.  They should be here around lunch.  We're also having some friends in that we haven't seen in 3 years.  I'm pretty darn excited.  I am going to the gym tomorrow, but I'm going to take the weekend off to drink myself into oblivion.  Going to have a lot of fun!

First Day of School

Not mine, my daughter's.  She's in first grade this year, which is much easier on me than Kindergarten was!  However, my second daughter starts preschool next week.

I did get to the gym right after leaving the school!

60min, 3mi, 610cal.

I think I'm getting ready to start PMS'ing, so I'm wanting to eat everything in the house today.  Including the chocolate we're bribing our son to potty train with.  Sure I'm more worried about being in better shape, but I still need to lose 50lbs to get back into a 'normal' BMI.  I'm currently 'obese', so my first goal is 'overweight'.  When I get there I am soooo getting a Kindle.  I like to read while I walk, but large print books fall off the little shelf and are kinda heavy.  Normal print books are just to small while in motion.  I have 15lbs to go, so it's not like I'm getting one next week.

Getting the hang of it again.

I had a blog once upon a time, but somehow I can no longer post to it.  I've tried figuring it all out and just can't. Oh well I guess.  I did have close to 20 days worth of stuff on there, I've found the blog but I can't figure out how to post to it again.  I guess that's what I get for not posting in over 6 months!

Sooooo I've gotten back into working out again.  I'm feeling good, but yet beating myself up for letting myself go for to long.  Lets catch up on what I *have* been doing, shall we?

• 16 tre, 28min, 1.44mi, 275cal

When I do the treadmill I have the incline at 7.5% for the most part.  On the 4th day (the 15th) I felt like I could have upped the speed or incline a bit but I decided against it.  Couple of reasons; I don't want to push it to hard, I'm going to water aerobics Tuesday (tonight) and Thursday along with a spinning class on Wednesday.  Plus we're having family visiting this weekend, so I won't be going to the gym at all on Saturday or Sunday, so I'll up the incline when I get back into it on Monday.

Speaking of water aerobics this evening, I need to grab a bite to eat and get some stuff ready for that!  I'm excited.  I'm really kind of shy, bordering on anti-social, so I'm a bit nervous but I am really excited about meeting some new people.  Maybe I should have shaved this morning . . .


So water aerobics was cancelled this week.  I'm bummed.  And even more upset about having a short workout today.  My son is potty training, he went before we left the house then again at the gym, yet he still interrupted me just shy of half an hour.  Brat. ;)
