Hi all,
Well the first part--no change on the weight and I see that as a victory when you consider my week and weekend. I ate out Tuesday night, Thursday lunch, Friday lunch, Friday dinner, and Saturday dinner. Not to mention 3 cupcakes and birthday cake over the weekend. Hardly any exercise!!!! So the fact that I stayed the same--VICTORY!!!!!
This week I should be in more control on my food and I should be able to get more exercise in. So that will help and hopefully it will be reflected next Monday!
Now onto the torture--did I just say that?--from last night :)
I started out with my warm ups on the treadmill and then my weighted lunge walk through the gym. Then Erin joined me and I did push-ups (between both rounds I did 32!!!!), triceps pushes on the bar, weighted squats, shoulder presses, weighted lunges (yup more of those), tree huggers, donkey kicks, more triceps, chest pulls, crunches on the Bosu, and planks on the Bosu.
I then did 20 minutes on the treadmill before staggering out to my car. My arms were like wet noodles and today I am so so so so sore!!!!!!! I have a feeling tomorrow will be even worse.
I did go to the gym this morning and spent 40 minutes on the treadmill. And I was not the woman who fell off the treadmill this morning. I feel bad for her as she was just running along and then suddenly she was on the floor. Two guys rushed over to help her and she soon left the gym (not sure if she was hurt or just embarrassed, but I am so glad it was not me!!!).
Well I had better figure out dinner (I have tomorrow's in my head, not tonight).

A great week......
because I lost!!! I lost!!!!! Yup, I lost 6 whole pounds!!!!! Now of course Erin expects me to do it every week. I can't make any promises, except that I will try!!! I know that I ate a lot less (a little worried that I did not eat enough, but we will see). I did write down everything I ate, which is a pain, but I know it works. I just need to stay on it.
So after that exciting news from the scale--then we did another mini-boot camp. These just suck. The main point is just to keep moving for the 30 minutes. I started out on the treadmill for 8 minutes then did my lunges and then on the bike for 5 minutes.
Then I did step ups, back lunges with bicep rolls, butt kicks (more of me running in place for 30 sec.), front lunges with lateral lifts, reverse squats with boxing moves, ball bounces, pile squats with the ball, push-up planks (hold for 30 sec.), and shoulder presses. I think I did a couple of other exercises, but I have blanked now. I did each of these 3 times with one 2 minute rest between the big sets.
After that I then rode the bike for another 15 minutes. Then I came home and made a quesadilla for dinner. Overall I am really happy with this week. I do have some challenges this week including book club tomorrow night and a work lunch on Thursday at Olive Garden. I am going to plan ahead and stick with that. I also plan to continue writing down my foods and getting to the gym at least 3 more times this week.
I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far not so good
Well as to the challenge--did not lose--went up. Not a happy trainer! or trainee. Hopefully this week will be better. One day at a time, it is all I can do right now.
As to the workout, here is the rundown:
Lunges, rubber-band side steps, step up & kick out, 30 second sit hold, tricep squats, scarecrow lifts, low rows, bicep interrupts, one legged bicep curls, toe touches, ball twists, and planks.
Overall it was kind of rough, but I think that was partly because I had not been to the gym since my last training appointment. So far this week I have already done one more day than training. This week will be a little easier because I am cat sitting and am only taking workout clothes with me at night. I have to get up and go to the gym before coming home to shower and get ready for work.
The big thing I need to work on is writing down what I eat. It is so hard for me to do for some reason. I think it brings back memories of Weight Watchers and how the leader used to drive me nuts. I guess we will see how things go this week. Trying to get in lots of veggies and not so many carbs. Hopefully I can succeed at that, but a pizza just sounds so yummy :)
Have a good week all!!!!

Starting the day out
Hi all,
Had my workout at 10 am this morning and signed up for the weight loss challenge. I will be very honest--today has not been a good food choice day!!!! I am hoping tomorrow will be better and I have already written down what I plan to eat!! Let us see if I can succeed at that.
On to the workout report. I started out the workout with toe taps on the bosu, then squat-bicep-shoulder presses, arm rolls (triceps), back lunges off of the step with bicep curls, squats with weighted arm lifts, three way kicks, three way boxing arms, boxing crunches and oblique bends. Because we finished early I then got to do the glute machine and side by side jumps off of the step.
Then we were done :) So now I am going to try and write down what I eat and keep track of my exercise time. My goal is to do something active every day. Hopefully I will reach that goal. I will try and be accountable not only to my notebook for the gym, but also to the blog. We will see how things go :)
Thanks!
