Well never got to the gym today. I did shovel at 3 and then went back out a 7:30 to clear what was left and make it look neat. Yes it snowed in new england and left work at 1:30 because the daycare was closing. So thats why no gym. Tommorrow is definite cardio with weights at lunch.

this morning i did 20 on the treadmill upon waking and I just got back from the gym. did 10 on the precor efx546 and then did just about every body part for 3 sets. Two different exercises per muscle group. Finished with 10 on the arctrainer. Since i did lower monday and upper teusday and legs, back and abs on wednesday i thought this would be a nice tie up for the week. Also did some floor crunches for those abs. I think tommorrow will just be some morning cardio and thats it.

Madame.. needs to clean out her PM's

All this in one week. can it be possible. 2 days lb and 1 ub with one day of everything mixed in. I guess it works. ...for me anyway. also lost a couple of pounds this week. I am very pleased with my results and i know that i lost another % bodyfat. thats one % a week dropping. Summer is coming..tank tops and mini skirts will definetely be on the venue. I also started doing some stretching today, yoga style. It felt sooo good. I was able to do a back bend up against the kitchen wall which amazed the kids.

Okay, I've gotta step up here and say congrats on the great work you have been doing here. I have been lurking for a while and thought I had better post before you disappear completely! I see you just slipped under 190 lbs too... WOW!

Can I ask a question? Do you use Fitday to track your calories/carbs etc? If so, what is an average day for you?

Lesley

All I can say is OH MY GOODNESS YOU ARE AWESOME! I don't check in for 10 days and you lose 10 pounds! At first I thought it was a typo! Good for you, you must feel like a completely new person physically and spiritually. Feel free to pass on any tips! I am so proud of you, I wasn't going to go to the gym today but now I definately am. You inspire me. Thank you for keeping on the journey to better health.

Well today i did 20 on the treadmill this morning bfl style and I am going to the gym at lunch with the boss to do some upper body stuff.

Hope you have an awesome work out. Keep it up superwoman )

Well i dont think im superwoman but thanks for the compliment anybody. yesterdays workout could have been better. I just wasnt myself completely. Eating was way off and felt tired. Today is much better and feel good and strong after moving about 100 cylinders in the lab and tracking the inventory. Today i didnt have time for some cardio this morning so its the gym at lunch time and its lower body. Need to work those legs, I want that line you see on the inner thigh of thin women and not going to stop until i get it. As for my abs the six pack would be great but i would be happy with that vertical line on each side which is just the hint of definition. Since im short waisted i dont think alot of definition is really possible plus when I buy a shirt that is supposed to show off your abs it comes down alot longer than its supposed to. I was going to wear my pedometer today for work because the amount of walking has increased ten fold i think and want to figure out how many miles I am putting in in a day but forgot to grab it. Oh well theres always tommorrow.

Well todays workout was great...started out on the precor for ten and then right into leg ext which i upped to 110# for the first set.
after three sets of reverse pyramiding I went on to the leg curl and again upped wt to 105#. Skipped the leg press today and finished off with deadlifts, lunges and squats and again raised the wts to 10/12/15. did some floor crunches all kinds for a killer burn and then 12 minutes on the bike for cool down. lost another half pound. Hopeing for more by friday.
