February 10, 201511 yr Sunday and Monday, I was stuck in the house due to weather. I did a 30 minute routine consisting of planks, girly push ups, crunches and upper body weights on both days. I can't get my car out of the driveway today, but am borrowing a truck for a couple hours am going to the gym in a bit :)
February 10, 201511 yr Bike to gym where I did 20 mins run and 20 mins weights. I've gained 4 kilos since I stopped smoking on Jan. 9, and it feels very unpleasant when I run. My knee bothers me much more with this weight, too.

February 10, 201511 yr 20 minutes on weight machines, 22 minutes walking on treadmill and 8 minutes running. Felt good to get out of the house!

February 11, 201511 yr So tried out a new trainer today ... Not sure how we are going to go as there wasn't a lot of cardio. - but will say I had a killer upper body and ab session !! Stay tuned to see how much I whinge tomorrow about how sore I am :-)
February 12, 201511 yr Was late to spin class due to traffic and was the only one there lol, 30 minutes spin done :)
February 12, 201511 yr Author ran on the dreadmill for about an hour then later walked on it for about a half hour
February 12, 201511 yr Class this morning done! No running today but I am going to do some indoor rock climbing after work today.
February 12, 201511 yr 26 mins running, 20 mins weights, sun salutes, stretching. I hit that bliss stage when I ran, where I know the endorphines will keep pumping for the rest of the day. Sooo sweet! Many hours later now, I still feel in bliss-land! I'm floating....makes me forget my sore muscles..... :)
February 13, 201511 yr that's excellent time! 1 hour cardio workout this morning.....will run on treadmill tonight
February 14, 201511 yr Been killing it at the gym this week and working hard. Today, on the other hand, the only exercise I am getting is raising my wine glass ! :-)
February 14, 201511 yr Author I have had to use the treadmill the last few days because of the cold ass weather sigh I want it a bit warmer so I can run outside dammit!!!
February 14, 201511 yr - 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.0 mph. I have only been able to do up to 2.5, but I really wanted to push myself today. - 20 minutes on the exercise bike. - 30 minutes of walking. - 20 minutes strength training. - 25 minutes of aerobics. - This is kind of embarrassing, but 4 minutes on the elliptical. It's a machine that really hurts me, so I have been trying to build up stamina every time I hit the gym.
February 14, 201511 yr Author I dont like the elliptical as it hurts my hips but I like the arc trainer at my gym it gives you a more natural movement I think it is an adaptive motion trainer type of machine
February 14, 201511 yr Ran with borrowed dog outside....it seemed harder going than running on the treadmill.
February 14, 201511 yr I dont like the elliptical as it hurts my hips but I like the arc trainer at my gym it gives you a more natural movement I think it is an adaptive motion trainer type of machine I don't know why I can't do the elliptical. My feet and legs always hurt too much for me to do long stretches on the machine. It might be because I have a lot of weight to lose still and the machine makes me put too much pressure on my ankles.
February 15, 201511 yr Sunday: leisure day. Walked to supermarket, back with heavy groceries in my backpack Stretched, sun salutations, Sun salutations can be done as a fast flow and can be quite vigorous. 5 kilo dumbbells I have at home. That's it. Oh, this morning I woke up feeling all sorts of nicotine deep in my throat. Yesterday I ran in pretty cold weather and I think it may have affected my throat and lungs. I'm still several kilos over my preferred weight and it feels really uncomfortable. I think I'll start a thread about sugar tomorrow. I want to get back to eating almost zero sugar.
February 16, 201511 yr I did not want to go out in 3 degree weather and drive my butt over to class at 430 am on a Monday no. But I did. And I'm so glad I did. Cardio workout done.
February 16, 201511 yr Good for you guys - I almost feel lazy in comparison - I only did a 4.5 mile run on Saturday after work - yesterday was just a relaxing day with the kids - I better step it up this week before I am left in the dust- Today just a 3 mile run (just a warm up) Wednesday 4miles (another warm up) Saturday will be my first longer run as I am starting to train for a 1/2 marathon in November - so each month I am going to do at least 1 long run every week or 2 - Saturday's Goal is 6.5 Miles -
