Tina's Gym Log

[tinaninea]

Okay I'm Finally Starting This Thing. I've Been Walking For A Few Weeks Now. I Walk A 2mile Track At The Park By My House. It Normally Takes About 45 Min. To Go Around Pushing A Stroller, But We Made It In 35 The Other Day. Now To Start Off With, Yesterday I Walked & Forgot To Time, But I Didn't Have The Baby, So I Jogged A Little Too. This Morning, I Pushed The Baby, & Forgot To Time Again. I Probably Wont Walk Again Till Monday Since I'm Working This Weekend- 12 Hour Shifts. That Really Only Leaves Time To Sleep, Eat, & Bathe. Sometimes I Seem To Miss Out On All Of Them.

Well, Monday It Rained & Yesterday I Spent About 3 Hours At Six Flags So I Got Plenty Of Walking In. I Might Try & Walk After Work Today, But I Have To Work Tomorrow So I Don't Know If I'll Get To Or Not.

Congrats on starting a walking plan - especially outdoors in LA!!! It must be sooo hot there! :D

Keep up the good work - your on your way there :)

[tinaninea]

Thanks, The Only Problem Here Is That It Rains So Much. I Didn't Go Last Night, We Were So Busy At Work Yesterday That I Literally Came Home & Collapsed. It's Really Cloudy Out Now So I Doubt I'll Make It Tonight, But I Promise I'm Not Giving Up.

[tinaninea]

Okay, I've Given Up On The Walking Outdoors Thing, I Have To Go Early In The Morning Or Late In The Evening To Avoid Heat Stroke & It Seems Like I'm Either Working Or It's Raining Then. Mother Nature Hates Me. I Did Go Riding W/ My Husband For About 5 Hours On His Motorcycle Sunday & Considering It Doesn't Have A Back Rest, I Must Have Burned Some Calories (i Most Certainly Could Feel It). Anyway, I Made An Appointment To Go To Curves On Monday & Am Very Excited About It They Seem To Be Very Personal W/you.

[lissame]

:yay:Omgosh you made it to your first mini goal!! YAY!!:yay:

[tinaninea]

Thanks, I Joined Curves Last Night. It's Really Neat-o There, Very Different. I Do My First Workout There Tonight.

[tinaninea]

I Did My First Workout At Curves Last Night & It Felt Great, When I Came Home I Went Outside & Jumped On The Trampoline W/the Baby, I Even Did A Couple Of Flips.

[tinaninea]

Okay, I Know I Haven't Posted, But I Have Been Going To Curves 3 Times A Week, & I Painted My Living Room All By Myself This Weekend - What A Workout!

[tinaninea]

curves 30 min today!

[tinaninea]

Okay, It's been quite a while since I posted in here, but I've been LCing again for nearly a month. So yesterday I decided it was time to start exercising again. I called Val and we headed for the mall. It is 1.25 miles around the mall without going in the stores and we walked through Sears and we went in and out through the bookstore, so I think we got a little extra. We plan to do it again today!

[tinaninea]

We walked the mall again yesterday, then swam at Valerie's house. The amount of energy I have these days is amazing, I seem to never get tired, but when I lay down in bed, I go straight to sleep and wake up early in the morning refreshed and ready to go! From someone who doesn't sleep too well, I'm saying a lot about this great new sleep pattern. I'm thinking I might get the boy's up this morning and walk before the mall crowd gets there, while everything is closed! Val's supposed to bring over some pilates videos she has & we're gonna try them out. Wish me luck!

[tinaninea]

Okay, no pilates, but me and the boys did walk the mall this morning, it's muck easier to walk it in the morning when no one is there. Val, that means I'll just have to come drag your butt out of bed every morning!

[Froggiebro]

that just aint gonna happen, lol

[tinaninea]

Okay, I went walking this morning again and Saturday, I think I burned a months worth of calories dancing!

[tinaninea]

I walked the mall again today! Valerie went with me & she can tell you that I burned more calories fighting with the kids to keep them in the stroller than I did walking.

[tinaninea]

I walked the mall again today, the boys were very good for me, thank goodness! They got to ride some of the little cars when we were done as a reward.

[Froggiebro]

it's me, i'm a bad influence on your kids!

[tinaninea]

Please, they just get that way! Jace was acting up in the stroller again today. I almost ran over him once. So for the log, apparently, I walked today. I told Jared that he had to sit in the stroller the whole time and not ask for anything and I would take him somewhere for a surprize. He was such a doll!

[tinaninea]

Okay, I did walk friday with Missi. We rented the little racecar strollers at the mall and Tyler pushed Jared. It was lots of fun; we pretended to race the whole time! I don't walk weekends and I didn't go yesterday or today. What a loser! I promise I'll go in the morning.

[Froggiebro]

LOSER!! Ha ha, like I've been walking lately.

[tinaninea]

I ripped up the carpet in my living room and dining room today. They are two big ass rooms. It took about 4 hours, so I think it qualifies for exercise for another 8 days or so. Get ready to go walking with me loser!

[tinaninea]

Me and Valerie walked the mall thursday and friday! We plan to make a habit of it, I just have to go over there and get her out of bed every morning!

[tinaninea]

Well, okay, it's probably actually been that long since I walked last, but day-before-yesterday I sanded a built in bookcase that takes up about 15 ft of wall from floor to celing, so that was plenty of exercise. I'm sure it was b/c I felt it in my butt muscles yesterday & most of today! And today I vacuumed out and shampooed my car and I mowed the backyard w/the push mower. Now anyone who knows me will tell you these are 2 things I certainly do not do! I've had friends clean out my car for me b/c they just couldn't stand it anymore. I keep the house clean, my car is just one of those things... And this might possibly be the 3rd time I've ever pushed a lawnmower!

[Froggiebro]

WHo are you? Where is the REAL tina?

[tinaninea]

I know, weird isn't it? Jared kept coming outside and checking on me. I don't think he thought I could do it. I made sure to finish the whole yard! We started painting last night. It's beautiful. The paint looks like chocolate milk.

[tinaninea]

HI, It's been a while, lol! I mowed again yesterday. I think it was 1000 degrees out there and I felt like passing out when I was done, but I finished it!

[Froggiebro]

You are a glutten for punishment.

[tinaninea]

I did it again! Today it was just 999 degrees, but Jared lowered the mower so it was twice as hard to push it. I better have lost 5 lbs by morning, b/c I'm sure that much sweat is in my clothes now!

[tinaninea]

Okay, I started doing the Ultimate Bootcamp DVD again yesterday. I already did it today too. I also did an episode of Shimmy - wow, that was fun! Anyway, everything hurts today, even my toes. But even with the pain, the workout didn't seem so bad today. I have a feeling every muscle in my body will be completely stiff in the morning & I won't be able to move when I wake up.
