Posts: 7,037   Plan: Keto IMO Atkins 72 Induct Stats: 283/229/180 BF:mini goal 250, 225 Progress: 52% Location: St. Pete, Florida Made it to the gym today ... My stats are not quite right - they are lower b/c I accidentally hit 'STOP' on the treadmill and lost my stats. So I guesstimated - low. lol 33 minutes; 1.75 miles; 250 cal; 1.0 incline 27 minutes; 1.46 miles; 196 cal; 1.0 incline - without cooldown 32 minutes; 1.65 miles; 225 cal; 1.0 incline - with cooldown. Totals: 65 minutes; 3.4 miles; 475 cal; 1.0 incline I didn't get up to 3.8 mph ... but I hit 3.7 a couple of times - but not for as long as I did on Sunday. It's a work in progress.

Posts: 7,037   Plan: Keto IMO Atkins 72 Induct Stats: 283/229/180 BF:mini goal 250, 225 Progress: 52% Location: St. Pete, Florida Ok ... after a couple of hours worth of procrastination, I made it to the gym. I'd wanted to go between 7 & 8pm but I finally cruised into the gym at 9:20ish. This actually worked out kinda nice because then I got to watch the second half of 'Don't Forget the Lyrics' while I walked on the treadmill. So here are my stats ... 60 minutes; 3.41 miles; 443 calories - sans cooldown 65 minutes; 3.60 miles; 473 calories - includes cooldown I made it up to a speed of 3.9 mph - maintained it the first time for slightly more than 2 minutes and the second time for a minute. This was the FIRST TIME I've walked that fast! I'm proud of myself for that accomplishment. I've found that interval training is working for me ... 3.2 for a bit, then a short time at 3.5, then 3.3, then 3.7, then 3.3 or 3.4, then 3.8, etc. Last edited by Gypsybyrd : Thu, Sep-13-07 at 21:01.

Posts: 7,037   Plan: Keto IMO Atkins 72 Induct Stats: 283/229/180 BF:mini goal 250, 225 Progress: 52% Location: St. Pete, Florida 3 days in a row to the gym!!!!!!!!!!!! The treadmill I've been using this week wouldn't let me go longer than 60 minutes ... so I had to pause and re-program it. Annoying. lol But my stats for today's foray to the gym are: 90 minutes; 5.01 miles; 684 calories; 1.0 incline 95 minutes; 5.21 miles; 713 calories; 1.0 incline with cooldown. My kudos to myself today was maintaining 3.5 mph for 35 minutes. That's a first - usually I have to slow down.

I'm thinking about trying out the sauna after my next workout. Never tried the sauna before. I seem to have a pattern - work out then stop by Steak & Shake for a double burger - hold the bun. lol I nearly stayed on the treadmill just to watch the last quarter of the Bucs game ... lol Last edited by Gypsybyrd : Sun, Sep-16-07 at 20:41.

Posts: 7,037   Plan: Keto IMO Atkins 72 Induct Stats: 283/229/180 BF:mini goal 250, 225 Progress: 52% Location: St. Pete, Florida DAY 5 in a row!!!!!!!! 30 minutes; 1.5 miles; 208 cal; .75 avg incline 8 minutes; .53 miles; 100 cal or so So I cut back the time on the treadmill today. I did add a little elliptical cardio. And now I remember why I dislike cardio - including running: I end up with a cough. After a LOT of research I've self-diagnosed it as exercise-induced asthma. Anyway - I'm debating whether to buy a treadmill or an elliptical. I've read the t v. e debates. And I think I'm leaning towards ... I have no idea. I believe the treadmill burns more fat and the elliptical is better for cardio. I'm thinking I like doing the treadmill at the gym. And I could do short bouts of cardio via the elliptical at home. The elliptical is definitely easier on my shins. Gypsybyrd View Public Profile Send a private message to Gypsybyrd Find all posts by Gypsybyrd Add Gypsybyrd to Your Buddy List

Maybe I should take a day off but I don't really want to. I have this idea that if you do something 15 times in a row it becomes a habit. We'll see if I can make the gym a habit.

Posts: 7,037   Plan: Keto IMO Atkins 72 Induct Stats: 283/229/180 BF:mini goal 250, 225 Progress: 52% Location: St. Pete, Florida I finally missed a gym day. Yesterday was quite the emotional roller coaster and I was just too drained to go after work. Today I went hiking. We covered 4.1 miles in about an hour and a half. Not bad for the terrain. While not in the mountains, there were challenges. The trail was a mix of sand, boardwalk, rocks, shells, dirt, grass, and needles. It was really pretty - next time I'll take my camera. We didn't see any wildlife except the spiders -HUGE. But it was fun and I met some new people.

I guess I need to work on getting up earlier. Yuck. Gypsybyrd View Public Profile Send a private message to Gypsybyrd Find all posts by Gypsybyrd Add Gypsybyrd to Your Buddy List

I can see that the new TV season will be good for my gym time. I don't have a TV and the gym does - that means I can treadmill from 8-10pm and watch a couple of my fave shows every night.

But I promised myself I'd go. So I went. 47 minutes; 2.51 miles; 328 calories Had issues with the treadmill. I was trying for 3 miles - but the damn thing kept slowing down and speeding up on me and I was worried I'd miss my footing and fall. I kept stumbling as it was. So I gave up for the night. I'll be interested to see if it is out of order in the morning. I reported it. Anyway - that's 4.5 miles today!
