The Mouse's Activities

Decided to keep track of my activities here rather than having them in with my journal. Maybe I can keep track of progress better here.

Wed June 2:
Target Training video - Total Body Shape-Up & Maintenance
moved up from beginning level to intermediate level (and advanced on those things I could) also added in an extra leg exercise and "a few" crunches

Played kickball with the kids after school.

Long evening walk - between 3 and 4 miles. Kimball rode his bike and I pushed the other two in the stroller so kept up a brisk pace to keep up with Kimball.

Thursday June 3:
(Feeling sore today from moving up to intermediate yesterday)
Mowed back yard - 45 minutes
No other exercise to speak of aside from playing outside with the kids and walking up and down the block a few times with them.

I keep forgetting to wear my stepometer during my walks, but I did wear it while at the grocery store today and it registered 2500+ steps.

Friday June 4
Went for a morning walk with the kids, 45 minutes of brisk walking then I let the kids out of the stroller to get some exercise too. I plan to measure the distance with the car odometer sometime so I know how far I'm going. (The stepometer read 3500-something but I don't think it's very accurate because of some inconsistencies.)

After getting home I trimmed some low hanging branches from the trees out front. I have to mow this afternoon and am getting tired of having to duck to get under them.

Edited to add:
Mowed front yard: 45 minutes

Day off

Monday, June 7
25 minutes fast walking. It was very hot and humid (and windy) this morning so didn't walk for as long, but it felt like I was walking a bit faster than usual. I really pushed myself.

Tuesday, June 8

Target Training video - Total Body Shape-Up & Maintenance I got a chance to fit the video in after I put the little ones down for naps and before the neighbor boys came over for the afternoon.

I decided to list all the exercises that are in this workout. I don't have much for weights, just some 1, 3, and 5 pound dumbbells. But this workout doesn't count reps, just do each exercise for a period of time from 30 seconds (beginners) to 2 minutes (advanced) so I just use a small weight and up the time when I can. I'm up to 60 seconds on each exercise, except for the modified pushups. ugh!

Modified squats
wide stance squats
lateral leg raises
dumbbell back row
chest crossover
modified pushups
shoulder presses
shoulder laterals
tricep extensions
bicep flexion
heel raises

That's all I've done so far today and it's hot outside so I probably won't get much other activity done. If it cools off this evening, perhaps we'll still get a walk in. I really want to keep up with the activity to hopefully keep seeing losses on the scale.

Wednesday, June 9

Long walk with kids, trying to keep up with ds on his 2-wheeler (w/training wheels). Even jogged for a bit which is a challenge in itself with a regular double stroller and not a jogging stroller. And I'm sure if anyone was watching me jog they had a great laugh!

(that's all so far, but hope to get some mowing in this afternoon.)

Edit: 45 minutes mowing completed also

Target Training video - Total Body Shape-Up & Maintenance60 seconds on all exercises (see June 8 post) except: only 30 seconds on the pushups

(I'm getting there), 2 full minutes on the bicep flexion, and 1 1/2 minutes on the heel raises

Didn't get outside much because of the rain, but went on a short (and I mean short) walk this evening. The kids have been ancy to get outside all day so I let them walk around a couple blocks in the neighborhood.
