February 16, 201511 yr Just did 1.5 kilometer run and some light weight work....the gym was really jammed with people, and I really dislike when all the people just hang out on the goddamn weight machines staring into their phones instead of using weight lifting reps in a cardio-enhancing way by switching around on the machines, and you have to ask them TO PLEASE LET YOU DO A SET. And then they get up and you can easily see that what they really need is a good, swift kick in the butt because the way they look there's no way they should spend their time at the gym draped over equipment with a few pulls on the weights once in a whle when they have mustered the interest in doing it.
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. I'm in awe. That must be such a bizarre experience. :)
February 17, 201511 yr Author I have been using my treadmill (mostly walking on an incline cause I hate running on it) I am trying to mix running in with it but it is soooo boring it has been too damn cold outside to run or walk or live.......one more week and it looks like it will get warmer or at least above 20 degrees which will be enough for me to run outside. I am down a pound I have lost a total of 5 lbs since I started to become serious again.
February 18, 201511 yr today the gym cancelled class so i did some weights and push ups and situps....didnt push myself like I do in class. Which is why I need it. But to be honest....my knee needed the rest...it feels a lot better today...and I may be able to run in a few days. I agree lisa....treadmill running is so boring. I listen to music and zone out...but it does seem easier to do that when walking on treadmill vs. running for some reason. I like running outside.
February 18, 201511 yr Cardio Wednesday went well. I thought I would have to modify cause of my knee and I was worried I wouldn't get a good workout but I did well. I was sweatin. Knee is 85 percent better. Just some ice and allieve and all should be good.
February 18, 201511 yr All day yesterday my body seemed stunned at the workout I put it through in the morning - frankly, it was probably the hardest I have worked my body in more than a decade (if not forever, ahem). So I wanted to be gentle with it today. I ran 1K and did a 30 min weightlifting session. My lungs feel bigger. :).
February 19, 201511 yr Leg day class....complete! I was really tired and wanted to skip it. But then I remembered reading something somewhere....when you don't feel like it is when you need to go the most. So I laced up my sneakers and went. Without thinking. I didn't regret it. I never regret going. I regret plenty when I don't.
February 19, 201511 yr I didn't regret it. I never regret going. I regret plenty when I don't. That's my experience too. I hauled myself into the gym although I sure as hell didn't feel like it. I ran 1K and did weights. I'm doing new weight routines, and boy do they hit muscles I didn't know I had.
February 23, 201511 yr Been slack for the last week but finally got my birthday present - a Fitbit surge .... So now motivated and ready to get back to it ...watch this space !! :-)
February 23, 201511 yr very very VERY intense cardio class this morning...the sweat was just pouring off me.....I love that feeling!! ready to start my day!
February 23, 201511 yr I ran 6 miles on Saturday - furthest run so far for my training - will do a light 4 mile run tonight.
February 24, 201511 yr Back to the gym today ...yay !!! Did small group fitness - just the 2 attending so basically a PErsonal Traing session for 2 - definitely feeling it now !, oh - and I loved my new Fitbit toy ! :-)
February 25, 201511 yr I slept in yesterday and skipped arm day....i felt guilty all day Today I made up for it....crazy crazy class..but I pushed myself to my level 10. I feel really good today
February 26, 201511 yr I keep forgetting to post here. Anyway....Yesterday, 45 minutes Total body conditioning class. Today, in the morning was Cardio/Abs & Booty class and tonight was spin for 45 minutes.
February 26, 201511 yr Yesterday had a training session with my new trainer - good session but still not sure ... Guess I am not sure about a trainer dressed totally in pink !! Will make boxing interesting tomorrow !! Tonight basketball final .. Lost by 2 and the opposition were #%#%# ( maybe I need to post in the curse threads for the first time !! ) ....but it was a good workout - and the time at the pub after .. Priceless!! All in - mixed emotions this week but have worked hard !!
February 27, 201511 yr Worked the legs yesterday. Cardio kickboxing done!! We were asked a few weeks ago to wear a different pair of shoes to change into to keep the floor clean. I forgot my sneakers and wore my boots so I had to work out in socks. It was an experience but I did it. Of course they teased me about it and kept calling me barefoot barb. I get harassed everywhere, not just here. Lol
February 28, 201511 yr Another session with the new trainer ... Worked hard - lots of weights and cardio but no boxing - I think she thinks I will break her !! So still need to work what I am going to do in the future !
