Working out the Right Way

Some Changes

I have not fallen through the cracks! I'm still here! Life and work has gotten in the way of me blogging!

I have to make some changes though, and one is only posting here once a week. I'm not even sure if anyone really reads this besides my 5 followers (if that), and I just don't have the time.  Time will get even worse when school starts in a few weeks.

I haven't really lost weight the last couple of weeks, I've been working out but I have lost some of my motivation. My family has stopped participating in the weight loss thing so it's a bit disheartening. I liked having the weekly weigh-ins, but I've been the only one.

My problem lately is FOOD. Eeek! I eat really good all day at work, it's not until I get home when I start eating the crap we have in the house. Grrrrr...

I will now weigh in on Fridays. My weight today was 216.8, not quite a lb.

Sunday I went swimming. Monday was a Jillian workout. Tuesday was 30 minutes on the Treadmill. Wednesday was a Jillian workout AND 25 minutes on the treadmill.  Thursday was 25 minutes on the stationary bike (the treadmill wasn't working and people were on everything else).  As for today I think I will take a breather.

I'm so close to losing these darn inches, and I do have to say I like the way I look, but I just need to keep on keeping on. 

This is Why You Are Fat

So I check up on the Crossfit website to see what I'm missing a couple of times a week. I can't really do much of what they post because I don't have kettle bells or a pull up bar (ok so maybe the pull up things can be modified but I hate them).  I also read some of the articles they post, there was one in particular today that caught my eye. This is why you're fat!  All almost all made me want to barf. There were a few that sounded interesting but blech!

On that note it makes me feel better that yesterday I did some workouts from Women's Health.  I did 2 rounds of Power Pairs and 1 round of the Tone up Anytime Anywhere.  I have to say that I can be really uncoordinated!

Today was 25 minutes of running. I have a new found appreciation for running, I think it's because I no longer feel like my lungs are going to burst or my body doesn't hurt like it used to. Good feeling!

Fat Lazy Kid Still Here

I keep having periods of no activity and I have to stop.

I haven't posted since last Wednesday so lets see what have I done??

Thursday's workout consisted of:

25..20..15..10..5..25

Squats, Sit-ups, Leg Raises, and Push-ups

Friday was me frantically running around the house and to work because I overslept followed by a Grocery Shopping adventure.  No exercise, but I hardly sat down that day!

Saturday I weighed in at 217.6, woohoo gained 2 ounces, I could have farted and would have been at my weight from the week prior.  Oh well, laziness and fat kid ice cream binges.

Sunday we went swimming at Eagle Island.  I know you are thinking really? Did you really swim?  Yes I do! Every time I go swimming I get at least 30 minutes of actual swimming in. I will play in the water with my son or float on the our little lounger thing, but before I can get out I have to swim from one end to the other (100 yards??) to get in a mini workout. 

Yesterday the lil man and I went on a 3 mile walk around the Greenbelt! I really miss living in downtown Boise!  I had to go down there for some school stuff and I decided I had some time so I popped lil man in his stroller and we walked! It was nice seeing all the beauty!

Today I had a late start to my day just because I was up for 2 hours with killer headache and itchy bee stung foot, so I got in a 20 minute jog!!

I don't feel as lazy as I did before typing this, I actually got exercise in 3 days in a row. Aiming for 6!!

Can't Stop Running

Yep, I ran again today. I find it a bit more therapeutic than say using the elliptical.  If I'm a little stressed or ticked off, I can sprint my little heart out.  Which is the big reason I do intervals because I like to sprint so I need the 1 minute on 1 minute off.

I'll probably keep this up until my shins feel like they are on fire, right now they are starting to slowly burn.

I also did 10 minutes of weights, wanted to do more but the gym was overrunn with people competeing for the machines.
