I really pushed myself on the treadmill today. I planned on doing some spinning tomorrow morning but I'm way to tired to get up at 6am. I'll set my alarm anyway.

I went to the farmers market yesterday. The only parking I found was six blocks away---on some darn hill. I walked around the market and shopped for about an hour. Boy, what a workout. After I was done I had to walk up the hill to my car with 20 pounds of groceries. Suprisingly, I wasn't out of breathe or really tired for that matter.

Later that day I went to the gym and did...
20 minutes of swimming
20 minutes (walk/jog) on the treadmill (1.5 miles)
30 minutes of weight training (Abs and back)

I had a good day yesterday. I want to go to the gym but it's so nice out so I think I'll go for a walk instead.

Latas.

I heard those can be REALLY tough...
bet it's an AWESOME workout tho :)

:thup:

Pookie, that class was pretty tough but I know I'll be grateful later. Last night I went back to the gym. I have really been pushing myself. I'll probably do another boot camp class tonight and a 30min swim. Be back later.

62mins of interval training the treadmill (4miles)

Wow that looks good on the screen. I really feel accomplished because I didn't quit this week...even when I REALLY wanted to.

omg, an entire mile w/o stopping?
I don't know if i can ever make it there
when I was working out 4-5 days a week when DH and I had a company gym membership, I think the most I could run in one stretch back there was only half a mile...
DH can run so much more than me tho... he cranks it up to 5.2 to run and then after half a mile or so, he slows it down to 4mph or something and jogs for the rest of the mile...
not me... I get to running, there's no way I can keep going unless I actually slow down to a walk... i can't just slow down and keep going..
Anyways, I can only do the half mile on SOME days anyways :lol:

Friday AM
1hr 15mins of total body weight training (Body for Life)
45mins on the stairclimber (2.5 miles)
15mins of interval training the treadmill (1 mile)

Pookie, I can only run on SOME days, too. I started out jogging at 5.2 for 2 minutes then 3 and so forth. I increased my time every week and voila! Now I'm running intervals...so I'll start out at 5.2 then increase until I'm at 6.5 then work my way back down the ladder. I can do this for about 10-11 mins.

I did my first 5k run/walk with some friends last month. The race was noncompetitive so it wasn't timed. I'm not sure how long it took me but I know that I wasn't last.;) The run/walk really built my confidence so since then I have really pushed myself to give 100%. But SOME days I just walk because my body needs a break.

I'm proud of myself this week because so far I've completed all but one goal. I've also completed a total of 21 miles on cardio machines this week. :hyper:I still have to do one more "recreational session." More than likely that will be a brisk walk through the neighborhood sometime tomorrow.
