Looking for Mini-Me!
 

I decided a gym log would be a good plan...since part of my personal makeover is to become more physically active and be accountable for my choices.

Some current goals:
TDC Walks Toward Spring Challenge: 26 miles walking by March 21...7.5mi
Walk 1 mile in under 20 minutes: currently slightly over 22 minutes
Swim 2-3 times a week: 5 mile goal--can't start this one without swimsuit...hopefully this will arrive next week.
Our rec center/gym offers the services of a personal trainer...I need to make an appointment to talk to her about some weight training.
Exercise 5-6 times a week...get full use of my gym card :D
Learn more about Exercise and it's effect on the body

Today I walked 2 miles: 1.25 on the treadmill, alternating speed between 2.5 and 3. Then 0.75 miles around the indoor track.

Tomorrow's goal: a little work on recumbent bike and at least 1 mile of walking.

I didn't make it to the gym yesterday...I was exhausted and actually asleep by 7 pm. Today I walked 3/4 mile with Moogie.

Tomorrow...walk 1-3 miles and *play* on at least one other piece of gym equipment.

It has been an awful week!!!! PERIOD!!!!

I haven't forgotten you are here, gym log, or that I need to get my butt moving...It has just been evil, depressing, and energy draining...I'm soooo happy Jason will no longer be part of my life.

Yesterday I did go to the rec center with Moogie..Walked 1/4 mile and did the elliptical 1/4 mile. Not much...but I haven't been sleeping or eating well, and I was so tired when we left...Moogie and I were both concerned I wouldn't be able to drive!!

Right now my fitness/gym goal consists of making it to the gym tomorrow to do something :exclm: Not very definite or focused...but it is a start.

:yawn: :yawn: I finally dragged myself back to the gym and I did 1.5 miles on the treadmill and .5 miles on the elliptical. I went at lunch. Now I'm so tired I can't keep my eyes open. :yawn: :yawn:

I need to be more regular about this.....and get some muscle strengthening in too. And where the ****$**#** is the swimsuit I ordered...'cause it ain't here :tears: I guess I need to follow up on that too!

I'm so glad to finally be able to tell my gym log that I've done something more than be lazy :D
