Back on Elliptical machine - 20 min and 5 min cool down. 1.72 miles.

All in all - I had a GREAT workout on my Lower Body - I was thinking I didn't have that great of workout at first, it was about 5 hours ago that I worked out, My rear is hurting and my hamstrings. I thing the lunges (even though I could only do one set) really worked. Will start working those in more often. However, I feel that I will be really sore tomorrow.

Also - today is my 1 month anniversary with joining the gym. I never thought I would actually start to like exercise. Actually, I guess I should say I don't like it, however, I like the way I feel when I do exercise and I hate the way I feel if I miss an exercise session. I can't wait until 3 months from now to see the progress. On the 8th, I will get measured again at the gym, and I will post my numbers. I know that I have lost inches - today my sister in law told me "wow, your really losing weight".

Last night at dinner my brother in law told me "Your looking good". Yes, please tell me that some more, I love the compliments, even though I have soooo far to go, I feel that I can do this and I don't care how long it takes me to get there, I know I will get there!

Sunday - March 26th
SORE - SORE - SORE - can barely walk and sitting on the toilet was pure torture this morning. My Butt and hamstrings are sore - my quads are very sore to the touch. I love this feeling.

Yes, I will say I had a good workout - maybe a bit too much yesterday. Not able to do anything today.
NO W/O

Hi Sunshine, just dropping by to say hi. Great job on your days of cheat free (wow 83!) You are an inspiration. Keep up the good work. Sara

Monday March 27th

9 min stationary bike (warmup)
upper body workout
25 min treadmill

I think I need to spend more time on my upper body workouts, it seems I finish in about 20 min. I do my back, my shoulders, my biceps, my triceps. But I do it in a circuit training mode, I jump form machine to machine, keeping my heartrate up, but I always do three sets of 12. But just thinking its going too fast.
