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
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 Not very definite or focused...but it is a start.

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.

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 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

Today I did a total of 2.75 miles:

1 mile on the treadmill
1 mile on the indoor track
0.75 miles on the elliptical.

I also did 4 minutes...2 minutes at a time....on the rower. That used some different muscles!!!

Tomorrow...walk at least one mile and call about my swimsuit.

1.5 miles on the treadmill...first time went to 3.3 speed for a short while.
.5 miles on the indoor track.
I wanted elliptical...but they were all in use every time I checked.

I did call on swimsuit...it is backordered.

.75 on treadmill
.20 on elliptical
.30 indoor track
total walking miles=1.25

1.5 miles on the recumbent bike--a new experience!

Ok--I've not been to the gym or exercising or anything other than some very minor stretching exercises...can we say LAZY

Today I made it to the gym:
1 mile on treadmill alternating incline between 1 and 0
3.5 miles on the recumbent bike

I had to stop as one of my knees was making itself very clear...it hadn't worked that hard for a long time and it was not happy

Gym today:

2/3 mile on elliptical
1 mile on treadmill
5 miles on recumbent bike in "Fat Burn" mode

20lbs Bicep Curls 3x10 reps
20lbs Tricep Extension 3x10 reps
10lbs Shoulder Press 2x10 reps

Go Mercy, Go Mercy!!! Look at you and your gym log!!! I exercise every day now, except Sunday's that's my day off (not from diet though).

I really feel lost if I don't get my exercise in first thing every day now. I really enjoy it and it's only 48 minutes long. I have 2 aerobics class at night thru the week, but I still do my exercise on those mornings too. It's habit now because I have done it for so long.

I never would have thought I would be exercising, dieting and not smoking/drinking!!! Ok, what aliens have invaded my body and what have they done with the old me? Personally, I hope they keep me. I LOVE the "new" me!!!

Have a great evening hon....
