I guess I should be starting my gym log today instead of putting my exercise routines in my journal.

Had a very good exercise session all of last week, so I'll start with yesterday. Yesterday I walked to work it took 1 hr & 25 min. I thougth that I should step it up, I was walking half way which was 45min. with little results.

I've been wearing a step counter for the past 6 or 7 months I log in any where from 10 thou to 20 on my active days. I find this really encourages me to walk more.

Went to the gym after work and did 45 min on bike, 45 treadmill and 15 min weights.

I walked in to work this morning it took 1hr 30min (stopped at a bank machine) I find that I'm exercising a lot but I'm still stuck at 165 I've been at this weight for a couple of months give or take a few pounds.

Going to the gym after work and I'm going to really push it.

Until tomorrow!!! "Keep on moving"

Missed a couple of logs this week, I will sum up the past week as memory serves me.

I attended the gym all last week, weekend included.

I've been walking all the way to work instead of half way now. It takes 1hr & 25 minutes I walk at a pace that is about 4mph. This morning I got a late start so I could only walk half way which is 45 minutes.

I'm doing 1hr on the bIke now instead of 30 minutes. since I've been walking to work I usually do 30 - 45 min. on treadmill if I'm pressed for time, that way I can incorporate some new exercise equipment into my routine.

Overall I've been really, really pushing my exercising!!!
Bad part about it is I don't seem to be getting any closer to my goal weight of 145. I feel that it is because I've been getting home from the gym between 7:30 & 8pm and that's when I'm eating my meals. Need to make some changes somewhere.

Overall my exercising is going great, I try and get to the gym 7 days a week. The days that I can't make it there I exercise at home.

Last week I was so tired after working two long days in a row.

When I got off of work Friday I went straight home and slept.

This past Saturday I went to the gym and switched up my routine a little bit, I had a lot more energy after getting some much needed sleep.

I did the stair climber for 15 min on manual at level 6 I'm starting off slow every week or so I will up the time and the level - You can really feel the burn.
45 on bike random level 8
30 minutes on treadmill incline 12 ~ 4mph
15 min weights - I would have stayed longer but I fugured I needed to get started on my Christmas shopping (My gym is in the mall-very, very handy)
60 ~ home on gizelle - Thought I put some of my energy to good use
15 min on ball

Sunday pretty much the same. I think this is why I went down a pound.

I'm going Chrismas shopping after work so I'll be exercising ~ home tonight

Just felt like I should add something to my gym log today.

been tired this whole week didn't go to the gym much, will be going tonight. I need to work on getting my energy levels up. I love to go to the gym when I'm not tired and feeling burned out. I'll be getting some rest over the holidays by January I should have all the energy I need to get down to my goal weight. I find that when I don't have energy I don't want to exercise and I end up eating mindlessly - which is a set back in working towards my goal.

Until tomorrow

whoa! that's a lot of exercise! keep it up and make sure you're eating enough calories--the weight may start moving if you take in a bit more! good work!

Thanks for looking in on my exercise log. Some days I think I take in way too much calories. I can feel more muscle in my legs. I need to always remind myself that muscle weighs more than fat.

Did pretty good last week the week before was a little better.
Those of you looking in on my gym log will notice that I do a lot of cardio and lower body exercise. I've lost most of my weight in the top half of my body, now I'm working extra hard on the bottom half I do try and switch my routine every month or so. I have as they say a pear shape body. Every night I also do crunches,squats and ball exercise before bed.

M - 60 min. elip. level 12 manual
30 min treadmill 4mpr incline 12
15 min weights
burned 1186 - not including weights

T - 60 min elip. - stomach ache
burned 802

W - 60 elip level 12 random
30 treadmill 4.2 mpr incline 12
30 strength - various machines
burned 1150 - not counting strength

T - Day off

F - 45 elip level 12/13 random
45 treadmill 4.1 mpr incline 12
15 weights
burned 1124

S - 60 min. at home gazelle
burned 506

S - 60 min elip random level 13
10 treadmill 12 incline - got to the gym late
60 min gazelle ~ home
burned 1456

I know that all machines aren't accurate when it comes to calories burned. Didn't weigh myself today not until Friday.

Here in toronto, Canada there is still a lot of snow on the ground, looks like it's started to get a little warmer so I'll start walking again. I need to buy a new step counter mine has finally had it after falling in the tolit for the third time.

Well the snow is finally gone and I did purchase a new step counter I'll start my walking again. I've been really busy but I've been still going to the gym.

Overall the last 3 weeks I may have missed about 4-5 days.

I usually do:

60 min ellip
30 - 60 treadmill
15 - 30 strenght
30 bike every other workout

I'm burning anywhere from 900 - 1300 calories a workout now if I could only keep my food consumption down I will be able to reach my goal.
