    Went to the gym today and actually walked away feeling really, dare I say it, good.
     
    I walked 2 miles (45 minutes), kept the incline at 10 for most of it and for about a total of 15 minutes walked at a 15 incline.
     
    Did about 4 steps on this machine where you step up and do curls at the same time. I am not coordinated well enough to do two things at one time, so I stopped and moved to the shoulder press.
     
    Did 3 sets of 10 shoulder presses. I think it was 15lb or 25lbs.
     
    Leg extenders (works on quads). Did 3 sets of 10 at 55lbs. *This exercise machine is the one where you are lifting your legs or something.
     
    Calf -- did 3 sets of 10 of these. You sort of bend your knees, extend and then press the paddle thing with your feet.
     
    Hip extender - Did 3 sets of 10 25lbs. These I can feel. A little sore.
     
    The next machine worked the back of my thighs and buttocks. Did 3 sets of 10 at 55ls.
     
    After all of that I went and took a shower, washed hair and then sat in the aromatic steam room. This was rally nice.
     
     
     
    Food for the day ----
     
    Breakfast - Jasmine Dragon tea
    Lunch - 1 walnut crusted chicken breast (thin & flat like smothered fried steak), spinach (a couple of leaves)
    Dinner - 2 over easy eggs

    Ok...it's me talking to me again.
     
    Let's see where do I start? I think I have missed a couple of days. The good thing is that time was well spent and I didn't do anything I would regret like snacking.
     
    Yesterday I went to the gym with Steven and really must admit I had a gooood work out. I keep forgetting to take my pen & pad with me so I can write down the exercies I do. I will try to do it from memory or at least what is left of my memory. Here goes:
     
     
    45 minutes - treadmill - 11 - 15 incline (would vary depending how I felt)
    hip abductor (outside muscles) 3sets of 10 at 25lbs
    hib abductor (inside muscles) 3 sets of 10 at 25lbs
    squats (sitting in machine) 3 sets of 10 at 90lbs, 1 set of 10 at 75lbs
    squats (pushing wiht feet, still sitting) 3 sets of 10 at 90lbs
    biceps curls 3 sets of 10 at 20lbs
    abs (turn to left) 3sof10 @25lbs
    abs (turn to right) 3sof10 @20lbs
    abs(crunch) 3sof10 @40lbs
    3 flights of stairs on stairclimber
    10 minutes - steam room --- *** I will never pass up the steam room again. I woke this morning without any pain, soreness etc. I have never gone to the gym, worked out and wasn't very sore the next morning. I HATE being sore. In fact this is the main reason why I didn't work out.
     
    I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when I got on the scale and saw it finally moved. I have been a bit concerned as I had not bee losing any weight. I guess now that am working out I should improved results.
     
    Ate 3 hard boiled eggs before working out and 1 chicken patty breast afterwards.
     
    Drank all of my water without any problems. Had a little fruit.
     
    Than'ts all I can remember.
     
    Oh, yea I am 5 lbs to onderland!! Cool beans, huh? When I hit 175 I will be able to see my goal in sight. Of course I am preparing for the reality that the scale might never again read 128 becuase hopefully I will gain muscle. So, instead maybe I should go into The Boutique (my closet) and grap an old pair of jeans I'd like to get into.
     
    I'll talk to me later.
