Entropy Gym Log - hooray !!!
 

I am trying to start a gym log
This is my test post

Dear Gym Log and Ken and Kristine
I basically went to Ken’s gym log and figured out how to start a new thread! Fabulous!
I have recently bought a treadmill on TV that comes completely assembled. It is the brand Fitnation on QVC and goes up to 3.7 speed. It will have a bar for balance. I also have at home an X-bike by Proform a mini tiny elliptical and I haven’t used that one that much cause several years ago I broke 6 mini elliptical sits a long and funny story!
I also belong to a very beautiful expensive health club with lap pool leisure pool exercise machines classes yoga beauty parlor spa health cafe hot tubs and showers and basketball court the list goes on. But I pulled my left groin in dec 26th and re-aggravated the injury recently.
My goal is to get back to 128 lbs using Andrew Lessman Secure Soy Meal replacement powder plus almond milk plus healthy food : fruits veggies etc.
The last time I was 128 was nov of 2017.
It is only Jan 2020 and I am motivated. I tried carnivore diet but I was depressed eating only meat and egg and I have a 10 year old who did not understand why I wasn’t eating fruit and veggies so I need a food plan that sounds more mainstream than meat and eggs etc. at least with shakes you can go out on a date for dinner and get normal dish. Etc.

Goals: get down to 128
If I weigh 162 I need to lose 34 lbs. I believe I can lose 10 lbs a month or 2 lbs a week.
17 weeks to lose 34 lbs
Goal will be hit in MAY 15th

you figured it out! Cool. I saw another post and coudn't remember how to start one. Good Luck! Here's on I kept and tracked activity for a year with pics and stuff. Have fun with yours Entropy39

Yesterday’s exercise was getting my new treadmill out of the box which took forever I had to cut the whole box with scissors.

I pulled my groin recently left inner thigh but I tried to walk on my new treadmill already today so I am excited cause it is snowing outside and not sure I want to drive 15 min to my gym.

X bike 36 minutes 244 calories burned
According to the x bike but I did not program my weight in

X-bike from Pro Form
 

X bike. You can’t put your weight in it. No tension cause I’m inured
44 :11 minutes
And burned 284.3 calories

X-bike Again from Pro form
 

Burned 307 calls on my x bike did it for 46 minutes 49 seconds

TIME TOTAL THROUGHOUT DAY 48:03
CALORIES IT SAYS I BURNED. 332.4

OF COURSE THIS IS MY X BIKE SO I’m not sure.
It probably is for someone who is 150.
Wow I used to think 150 was fat!
Haha
Now I would love to be 150 even though I really want to be 128

It says I burned 744 cals on my x bike today
I don’t think I burned that much but I was on for like a very long time watching a movie etc.

Walked around the block at least 3 times today and I might do another few times we shall see.
I did two times in the morning and again after my daughter had breakfast. I listen to Korean pop music and it makes the time go faster.

265.0 calories burned on my bike tonight 39:31 minutes and 17.6 miles
Walked around the block twice today

Over the years I wore out two manual treadmills (NordicTrak) by wearing grooves in the plate under the belt.

Then I went with ellipticals, and wore two of them out.

So now I walk up and down my dead-end street. 15 complete circuits = 3 miles and 20 circuits = 4 miles. I do at least 3 miles per day and often 4 with one day off per week.

Now I just wear out shoes. I haven't managed to wear grooves in the street yet ;)

I also have a couple of wrist weights but I don't use them as much as I should. It gets hot and sweaty and they become uncomfortable.

I've never liked gyms. I guess it reminds me too much of Phys-Ed classes in school :D

Last night my daughter read to me and I burned 600 calories in about 78 min and biked 40 miles

I only was able to walk around the block once but I walked up and down my Stairs countless times because I had to move the laundry.

It might rain today but I plan on doing a nice workout on my X bike and maybe my mini elliptical.

Please notice last night i burned 600 calories!!!

This chart is just a guideline obviously I’m not going to always lose 3 pounds in one week that doesn’t really happen, especially if I get closer to my goal weight HOWEVER on the weekends I don’t have my daughter I tend to up my exercise intake and burn more fat and that might help move the scale - also I don’t have her X-mas break so I will be exercising 5-7 days in a row that week including after work.

Also I have told my daughter I want to be more active on weekends with her and might take her to the gym and swim with her or maybe I can exercise and she can do a tween class there. They have so much to offer children there just the kids membership alone is 50 a month I think (?)

If all goes as planned I should be at goal by the end of February 2021

If only it worked in a linear fashion like that. See how close you can get your actual losses to that straight line. It will be interesting to observe and a good challenge ! Rooting for you E!

Although I post my exercise in my regular journal I really want to start posting in my gym log especially because it is so important in my humble opinion to be active even though they say (who is they anyway) that you can lose weight without exercise on low carb or carnivore).

Yesterday’s Exercise was the Elliptical machine and I used the arms.
I took two pictures of my Read Outs because after an 60 minutes and a 5 minute cool down the machine shuts off and you have to start again.
Picture ONE: 4.05 miles/407 cals/ 1:05:00 hours/minutes
Picture TWO: 1.51 miles/157 cals/23:33 minutes
Total Exercise: 5.56 miles /564 calories/ 1 hour 28 min 33 seconds


I am planning on going back to the elliptical today but I also should list later today the time it takes me to empty my car because just emptying out my car is going to take me a very long time and a lot of walking back and forth!!!

So cool that you are getting this rocking again Entropy. Let you hip be the guide to how hard to push. I like that can use the arms too. :)

3.92 miles burned 392 cals in 1 hour and two minutes on elliptical machine with arms tonight from 5:30 to 6:30 pm
