FYI

To my faithful readers:

My training appointment for next week is not until Friday. Erin is out of town and then with things on my schedule the earliest we can meet is Friday. So I train Friday at 5 pm and then again the following Monday at 5 pm. So if it all works out there will be two posts quickly, but nothing until Friday or Saturday :)

Didn't want you all to worry---HEE HEE

Have a good week.

Been busy

Hi all (my three faithful readers:))

I am sorry I haven't updated, but I wasn't home any night last week and if I don't get this done tonight it won't get done this week either :)

Last week was another mini-bootcamp. I went and went, about 15 exercises at 30 second intervals. I was exhausted afterwords and right now could not tell you any of them except for the step up squats and jumping jacks. About killed me!!!!

Last night was also quite the work out. I started out with incline lifts (20 pounds and she has promised to increase that!), then weighted squats--repeat.

Then Erin decided to shake things up. I got to stand on the Bosu while using a weight machine. I did punches, pull acrosses, and squats to pull ups. Repeat. Then I did two types of triceps exercises before heading over to work on the abs. I got to do step down backward squats off of the step, ball crosses, and then the plank. Repeat.

One of the exciting parts is that I managed to do both planks for the full 30 seconds without kneeling--first week ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited about that as the plank just about kills me.

After the workout (during which I sweated like a pig), I decided to do my grocery shopping! Yup, I shopped for about an hour and managed to come home, put everything away, eat supper, and then collapse :) I was tired and am a little sore today, but overall it was a good workout. I don't know that I will repeat it this week as I was falling off the Bosu all the time so I think it might be dangerous for me :) We will see what I do in the morning.

Have a great day!!!!!!

Pain!! Pain!!!

Today was a painful session in personal training. I got to the gym early so I did 10 minutes on the treadmill, my walking lunges, and then 5 minutes on the bike before Erin was ready for me.

We got started right away with 16 push-ups on the bar, triceps on the bar, and lunge lifts trading both legs. Repeat. Then we did shoulder presses (15 pounds for each arm!), smiley face lifts, and arm lifts. Repeat. Then I did abductor, another leg exercise, and donkey kicks. Repeat. Then it was obliques on the ball and triceps pulls. Repeat.

I have to admit the shoulder presses about killed me as did the arm lifts. Let's talk about the triceps pulls. I was grunting through out. It was very painful and I was so glad to be done and home to shower!!

As for the weight, I stayed the same. At least I stayed the same. The weight loss challenge has ended, but I am going to continue to watch what I eat and will probably still weigh myself in hopes of going down more :)

Have a good week everyone.
