I made it to the gym for my exercises. It took me 2 hours to get through everything. I plan on lifting every other day for the rest of the summer.

The workout: Cardio every day. Abs every day. Hard cardio every other day. Weights every other day: all with 3 sets of 12 reps with the 10-12 rep being very difficult to achieve. Leg Press, Toe Press, HS Curls, Glutes, Triceps, Bicep Curls, Lat Pulls, Rows, Chest Press, Military Press, Chest Flys, Push Ups, Abs, Stair Master, Shoulder Ext, Back Ext, Twisty Back, Leginair abs, Stretching.

My physical therepist wrote it all up for me - mostly based on stuff I already knew and like to do with only a few additions. All the leg stuff I do with my right leg only because I am doing 1.5 hours of weights 3 days a week at physical therepy for just my left leg.

Tomorrow is going to be a light day and then back to the gym for a good workout M,W, and F.

Marvin: Thanks for the directions on how to select an avatar. I haven't tried it yet but I will.

Morrigan: That's great that between you and your PT you have an exercise plan in place now. It will be good to know that you can exercise and not hurt your knee.

My update: I didn't work out Friday at all. I had a really hectic day at work and then rushed around in the evening until it was time to go out. We had a babysitter and went out to eat and hear a band. I did pretty good with the food choices and even the drinks except that I had a coffee with kahlua and it had about 4 inches of whipped cream on top. I scraped all the whipped cream off except a real thin layer. Yesterday I swam quite a bit. I did 45 minutes seriously and then I was in and out after that. I plan to do my arm weight exercises and then go swim laps in a little while. The pool is kind of cold today - 75 degrees F. We've had cool nights. After I swim I guess we will put the cover on to see if we can get it to warm up.

Have a good Sunday!

hi guys! I didn't do any exercises yesterday because I went with my husband to the Midwest American Motorcycle race. I think I was the only girl there. It was a total guy thing. We drove 3 hours to get there managing to get a $100.00 speeding ticket on the way up. We walked around quite a bit and I got fried. My nose and arms are burnt. I figure he owes me big after spending the day there.

Anyhow today i plan on doing my arm weights and a half hour of step aerobics. The weather has been so nice (No humidity) so I will probably go to the park tonight for a nice stroll. Hope you have a great Sunday.

Saggy

I hadn't planned on it, but I am going to the gym again tonight with my DH. I am going to do at least 40 minutes of cardio and leg weights and abs. My arms are still really sore from yesterday, so they get a day of rest.

I had a really bad start to the day eating wise (over 800 calories for breakfast) - but have had lots of tea and water all day and am holding steady at 936 so far without dinner yet.
