Not a good exercise week. I was working 3pm-3am shifts and it doesn't seem to work out well for exercise. I'm back to 7pm-7am shifts next week which will mean the Y after work. Should be good.

This thread has not been forgotten. I've been in Mississippi and am going to California on Wednesday.
I'll be back with exercise reports when I get home from California.

I've been going to the Y faithfully, just not posting here.
I'm starting a spin class on Monday. And will restart weight training next week as well.
To date I am down 35 lbs since October 20th. YAY me!

The exercise has continued...

I've been checking out a couple classes at the YMCA. I figure since I'm a member I should use more than just the fitness center. So I started with a spinning class and ruptured my left quad which sucked. But I've been back to spinning and will keep doing that. I've also done some step aerobic classes.

So I think I am ready to start weight training again. I plan on 3 days a week in addition to my cardio and classes. I've gone through my old program notes from when I had my trainer and have some other notes on workouts and have come up with a 2 day split that I will do for a month and see what happens. I'm going to start Friday. I weigh Thursday night so Friday is day one of my week.

I'll start keeping daily logs again on Friday.

As promised... I started my weight routine today. Here's what I did plus some notes for myself.

Treadmill... 30 minutes at 3.8

Squats... 3 sets of 10 : 8# weights (need to increase weight or reps)
Seated Leg Extensions... 3 sets of 10 each leg : 30# (need to decrease weight)
Seated Cable Rows... 3 sets of 10 : 40# (need to increase weight)
Front Lat Pull Downs... 3 sets of 10 : 40# (need to increase reps)

Dumbbell Side Bends... 3 sets of 10 each side : 15#
Incline Dumbell Curls... 3 sets of 10 each arm : 5#
Drag Curls... 2 sets of 10 : bar weight (don't think I'm doing these right... and don't think I like them. And they seem to do the same as my dumbell curls. I think I'll substitute kickbacks next time.)
Ball Crunches... 3 sets of alternating 15 straight crunch, oblique crunch : Body weight
