Default Let's see how long SuzanneM sticks with this...

bwwaaaahahahaaaaaaa!

I started working out about (treadmill & bowflex) a month before Christmas, but it was spotty - here & there I'd skip a week, and then some weeks it was near every day. I usually ate ok, but had a few blow-outs. My biggest weakness has been drinking wine every night. Guess what? When you work out and eat right, you body consumes the alcohol for it's energy instead of your reserves.

Sooooooo No more of that!

I actually got back in the saddle on Sunday, after having skipped a week (and the week before that, every day. Sigh. So stupid). So I'm logging everything from Sunday.

General notes:
Treadmill - Always walking, rarely ever run (shin splints), 1 min warm up, 2 min cool down, usually around 3.2 to 3.5 mph with a slight to heavy incline. Depends on the shin splints (OWIE, DUDE), which will stop me once in a while. I'd like to do more than 3.5, but my legs are not so long. So a good treadmill workout for me is pretty much this so far.

weight train - on my bowflex, upper body only, weights and reps too varied to track here but I don't do too badly.

Sunday:
treadmill - 25 minutes at 3.2, heavy incline
almost entire upper body on bowflex

Monday:
treadmill - 30 minutes at 3.2 to 3.5, heavy incline
Winsor pilates, 20 min workout

Tuesday:
treadmill - 25 min

Food: doing good, muching on salads and burger patties or roasted chicken lately, got to slide some variety in there but have been too busy to prepare lunches. And just discovered the chicken in my beloved chick-fil-e salads have tons of junk it. No wine or other alcohol since Sunday night.
