exercise regularly

I did not make it to the gym Thurs night and today I feel real sick, not sure if I should go today.

gotta start somewhere

I have this Yoga DVD…I’ve watched it once…exercised with it once…maybe I should dust it off and give it a try again, and do it at least three times a week!!

I found this great Adidas WorkoutLog and maybe someone can find it helpful.

What is the adidas WorkoutLog
The workout log is a program that consists of three basic modules that enables you to keep track of your workouts. You can plan, monitor, and/or document them.
The workout log documents and displays workouts on a day by day basis. This is where you enter the details of runs you either plan to do or of runs that you have already completed. Think of this section as a diary that contains your training efforts.

I committed myself to getting to the gym twice this week (Wed to Wed)and I achieved it. I am committing to the same thing this week as well, hopefully I can do more. It’s 12:45am right now but when I get done I am going to get up on walk to the gym and get on the treadmill rather I like it or not! LOL I have been on a weight loss program for 8 weeks and I am down 34.6lbs with only going to the gym those 2 days last week so I figure if I get my hind end in gear I can really burn off these extra pounds. I have been putting it off cause I hate working out alone and have been waiting for all the people who keep saying they will do it but always come up with some reason not to. I finally realized I had to get over it and quit using that excuse. I went and bought myself an MP3 player and uploaded about 1GB of music to it. I will do it even if other people don’t do it with me. Who knows maybe it will inspire them to start working out if I get going on my own. FEEL THE BURN BABY!! Besides I can do some water aerobics too cause I bought myself a cute new bathing suit when I hit 25lbs. Might as well get some use out of it before it doesn’t fit anymore at the rate I am going. : )

I’ve spent 2 hours at the gym every other day for about a week and a half! It feels great! I bet it will stop once midterm time rolls around again though =\

I was doing so well at the daily exercise: I was biking an average of 7 miles a day, sometimes more, since my daily commute is 7.5 miles and I biked an average of every other day, sometimes every day. I also started lifting weights following the exercises in Strong Women Stay Slim.

Now I am not allowed to sweat for about a week, maybe two, because I had finger surgery and they’re afraid sweat will seep into the wound and give me an infection. It makes sense, but now I feel like I’ve backtracked.

I know that I’ll be JUST FINE in a week,but in the meantime I feel depressed and listless and have a hard time getting moving. Ironically, given how restless I feel.

to record all the instructions for the exercises the trainer has customized for me. ugh Trying to breathe, think, and remember is so hard to do together when your muscles cells are hogging all the oxygen.

I’ve gone to the gym Monday and Tuesday and will meet with my trainer this evening. So Im back on track, but I worry that I’m over doing it… my legs have gotten bigger, to the point that my pants and skirts are tight

went to class this morning, and remembered as soon as the instructor walked in that our usual teacher is on vacation this week. for multiple reasons, neither mom nor I care for the substitute. I meant to go to the evening class instead, but forgot. tomorrow I’ll take at least one class, and maybe two.
