~Mis' Journey to Better Health~

[msdbobby]

Ok, I was alittle reluctant to start a gym log but I'm finally doing it. I want to keep track here vs in my journal to hold myself accountable. I don't know about having all of the links at the bottom of my posts but oh well.

Today:
5 minute treadmill warm up
Weight training (arms & legs) 25 mins
Stability ball 5 mins
Push ups 2 sets 10 reps & sit ups 25
Stretching 5 mins

Ok, I feel better about posting that, lets see if I can be consistent about working out.

[msdbobby]

Yesterday 10-5 I did cardio:
4 min warm up
speed walked & ran for 45 mins
5 min cool down

I worked up a good sweat!!

[msdbobby]

warm up
30 min treadmill
15 min elliptical
cool down

I feel awful to say that I hated almost every minute of it. I procrastinated all morning about working out. I walked around in my workout clothes for a long time and finally started at 1:30. So glad it's over with.

5 min warm up
30 mins treadmill, no incline super fast walking
weights (machine & free weights) 10-12 reps - 3 sets arms, abs, chest, legs, back. The dip assist and pull up assist definitely make me sore.
I'm trying to lift alot of weight and only do 10 reps. I'm not lifting more then I can handle but it's still more then I used to do. I'm slowly getting over my fear that I will bulk up.
5 min cool down & stretch

Well, today I did this same routine minus the pep :D I was sweating 15 mins into the workout and dreaded the thought of 30 more mins to go and hated the thought of .... wait what??? Last time I did 10 mins w/ very steep incline, I thought I did 15 last time!!! Ok, I feel soooo good now, I did 15 mins w/ a very steep incline :D Sheesh, no wonder my legs were burning.

Oh my gosh, the last time I posted here was Nov 15th! I'm embarrased to say that, that was the last really sweaty workout I had and it wasn't even that intense :blush: I've done some workouts but not nearly what I should be doing. I need to get back into the swing of things SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[msdbobby]

YEAH, I was embarrassed to post here in Dec. What's even worse is that it's now March and today was the first time I've been on the elliptical since then!

*sigh* not beating myself up just amazed that I was able to do that. No more big breaks in between workouts PERIOD!!!

Ok,
Working up to more intense workouts:
33 mins on elliptical

[msdbobby]

Yesterday 3-15:
35 mins elliptical

[msdbobby]

Today I started on the elliptical, after 10 mins I had to jump off because my work phone rang. I had to get some work done which took about 20 mins. After I was done I jumped back on the elliptical & continued w/ 25 more mins. I was sweating but not profusely.

So:
35 mins on the elliptical.

[msdbobby]

I didn't realize that I haven't been on the elliptical since Fri.
Sat I walked for miles and actually felt sore the next day.

Today:
Increased my elliptical time to 46 mins, I was sweating a bit more and it felt good. I watched Dancing w/ the Stars while I was on, that made the time go by alot faster.

[msdbobby]

~ 46 mins - elliptical watching my Ugly Betty recording :D

[msdbobby]

How in the world can time pass by so fast :( :cry:
Definitely doing the elliptical tomorrow!

I probably would have stopped at 1 hour but I was watching DWTS and it kept me going. I would have felt too guilty jumping off and just watching my recording while sitting on the bed.

[msdbobby]

46 mins elliptical
I could have kept going but I had work to do.

[msdbobby]

Sat ~ Lots of housework...worked up a good sweat. I do everything one right after another and don't stop until I'm done w/ EVERYTHING! Hey, it's like circuit training lol.

Sun ~ Lots of walking & yard work. I was getting somewhat depressed thinking that I haven't worked out since Thurs but I've been MOVING my body.

So, because it's better then lounging around the house I'll post it as a workout :lol:

I was sweating while doing the yard, I think it was actually a great workout. My legs were really fatigued by the end of Sun.

It hasn't gotten easier, last night my feet were sore and I was really pushing myself.

[msdbobby]

Upate to todays workout. I posted above right before I actually jumped on the elliptical. What a difference between last night and today.

Overall I actually thought time went by semi-quickly. FINALLY. I didn't feel like I couldn't go on. If I needed to force myself to do another 15 mins or so I think I could have.

Of course I can go out for an early morning walk or run, blah. That's why I've been so faithful these past couple of months...no going out to walk or run.

I will definitely try to take the boys out with me while were there. Please let this work out. I just can't go 4 days w/o working out!

[msdbobby]

No workouts since I last posted. I had a strong feeling it would turn out that way. I didn't feel horrible about it :lol:

I was going to wake up on Sat and go for a walk/run but it snowed like crazy that day, lol...how convienient huh?

SO..I'm going to get on my elliptical right now. I'm going to do an hour and see how I feel. Maybe I'll do more, not sure yet. I want to do more but we'll see. I'll come edit this if I go longer.
