Hulagrrrl's workouts (or any activity other than sleeping!)

[hulagrrl]

since i'm still preggers, i can't really go hard out on my workouts. actually, all i do for now is walking and light free weights for my arms. i'm supposed to be keeping up with the exercise to help me thru the labor. hopefully starting this gym log will help me to stay on track and be accountable.

i'm also posting in the walk-every-day thread in the buddies section, but i want to post my resistance and weight training stats here too.......when i get to starting that again.

so, for today i have nothing to report other than waking up, getting dressed, driving to work, and sitting in my chair all day.

well, i do have to walk 1/4 mile to and from my car to my office - does that count? totals 1/2 mile and since i'm ALWAYS late, i'm usually doing as close to a power walk as i can. to others it probably looks more like a waddle/shuffle. :)

[hulagrrl]

so far today....

1/4 mile to work and the other 1/4 back to my car.

Are you feeling tired? If so that can be a big impediment. Hang in there. Just take a walk or something. Getting back to it can be the hardest thing sometimes, right?

[hulagrrl]

hi lisa ~ i don't think i'm really as tired as i am just LAZY! i know that once i get going it'll be ok. it's just getting into that 'zone' where i am motivated and fired up to exercise.

yesterday:
2.8 mph
42 mins (watched last episode on disc 2 of 24 season 1)
4 incline

i'm pretty happy with the fact that i made time in my very busy schedule to walk on my 'mill. hopefully i can do that again tonight. might need to skip bible study, because i am just doing too much and i need to focus on ME for now.

[hulagrrl]

yesterday:

2.8 mph
42 mins (started new disc of 24!)
3.5 incline

i really feel more motivated to walk when i'm watching something. especially a tv series. the suspense of 24 always makes me want to "come back" for more. i've made a rule for myself that i can only watch it if i'm on my 'mill. when the dvds come in from netflix they go right into the cup holder on my treadmill and stay there until i get my butt on it! good motivation.

[hulagrrl]

friday:

2.8 mph
43 mins
3.5 incline

i'm on a good streak with my exercise. i feel pretty good going into this weekend. i have to keep up my momentum.

[hulagrrl]

saturday and sunday:

NOTHING.

there went my good streak. hopefully the rest of the week is better!

[hulagrrl]

yesterday:

nothing. again. that's going to change - tonight!

[hulagrrl]

yesterday:

2.5 mph
42 mins

felt better with the less strenuous walk. i didn't feel like i was struggling or over exerting myself.

[hulagrrl]

yesterday: nothing. bible study.

[hulagrrl]

saturday: short walk.
sunday: SHOPPING and walking all over creation to exchange/return gifts.
monday: short walk - hardly worth mentioning.

ok, shauna, get your butt into gear!! your mill is NOT going to be a clothes rack!!

[hulagrrl]

[hulagrrl]

[hulagrrl]

2 short walks yesterday. i feel ok with the short walks now. i know that it's as much as my body can handle right now.

[Kandra]

Hey I'm so happy to hear that you took two walks yesterday. That's great! :thup:

Wisdom. ;)

The mind is probably saying to do more, go further, but I'm glad that you're listening to what your body is telling you. :agree:
