Sunday - 30 min treadmill, 20 min upper body strength, 15 min elliptical

Did an extra 30 min Wii Fit step aerobics tonight to make up for dinner out last night. I was good, but not that good.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend.

i have confirmed the fact that i gained weight in the first place by not being active. i hate not exercising & i've been snacking:eek:

i go tomorrow for my endoscope to see if my port infection is cleared & to beg my dr let me workout again after fixing the hernia....i'm bored w/wii golf & tennis at this point:wink:

So sorry this is going on LuLu. Get well soon.

Saturday and Sunday- nothing

Today-

5 miles on treadmill (ran the first 3.5 miles and did intervals for the rest)

30 minutes strength training (arms)

DH is going to the gym tonight, so I will probably end up going with him and doing some sort of cardio again (probably either walking or stairmaster)

Today: Treadmill 4% incline 60-minutes a mix between jogging and power walking. 3.36 miles. (One day it is going to be a straight jog!):thumbup:

Lol, I modified the outdoor circuit today - I did my squats, lunges and 300 metre runs with Eliza on my back - she's about 50lb give or take and six so old enough to hang on.

I did less, naturally, it was quite intense to say the least.

Whew. I cant afford a personal trainer, but where there's a will there's a way hey?

its going to be above 40 degrees celcius here for the next four days - I was lucky to get in this morning before it started heating up but it wont be so cool tomorrow morning. I think I'll be running on my treadmill and/or maybe do a step or spin class or two at the gym for the next few days as its not even supposed to cool down below 25 degrees overnight.

47 min on treadmill. 3.33 miles (slightly over 5k for you metric folk). I ran 38 minutes of it too. Whee!

6 miles last night

Weight lifting and spin class this morning

Jachut -- sounds like Bikini Weather!

For Americans 40c = 104F (its the Bristish coming out in me)

You could come to Wisconsin..Its -40F which is -40C (thats when the two scales cross over)

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! you have come so far!!!!! your doing awesome

Thanks Whosya!

Today-

5.28 miles on treadmill (ran 2.5 straight then intervals on the rest)

45 minutes of strength training (legs and abs)

Monday - 15 min treadmill, 15 min lower body strength, 30 min elliptical.

I must learn to be more assertive at the gym in the strength training area - all I have to do is say "Can I work in with you?" but I keep either lurking or skipping machines altogether. Bad habit.

Today - no gym - I have a meeting this evening. Thought I'd try the Wii Fit aerobics again instead.

Stationary Bike, 45 min. 9.5 miles. I'm still trying to get 10 miles in 45 min. but it's not happening.

Today: 60 treadmill 4% incline 3.33 miles jogging and power walk mix.

Tomorrow morning back to the dentist to see why my gums are infected in area of the root-canal. :( Son-of-a-gun still hurts.

Whew. I cant afford a personal trainer, but where there's a will there's a way hey?

i admire you jacqui pushing yourself like that - unfortunately i need my trainer to do that to me ..... our gym's prices are going up and it's becoming a budget buster.

our trainer is opening up a sports rehab clinic in april - and DH and i decided to finish out our purchased sessions then pay him directly (vs gym) to train us at the house. it will be half the cost & i really can't give him up just yet:tongue:

got clearance to workout - nothing more than 10lbs for a month.

today - wii yoga...snow/ice out, will try to get to gym w/hubby later in the day for cardio
