Cardio 45 min legs/abs Feeling good.... I went to the gym 5 times this week. I upgraded my membership, so I can now go to the gym any day that I want! I'm now up 2 pounds, but I know it's only from working out, so I'm feeling fine. Also I had my body fat measured (so I have something to aspire to besides the scale) I was at 24.7%! I was shocked. A month or so ago I went in and I was at 32% So this was a nice surprise. I think I lost about 10 pounds since then and this last week I've been hitting the gym regularly, so I feel good about it. Although I did make them recheck their measurements. Well, chicks I will talk to you later. Happy 4th!

Beth- that is amazing. I thought doing 45 min a day was pretty good.

Mandy

Mandy, 45 minutes is GREAT.... Thats cool about the gym, if I lived closer id join one but since im at least 30 minutes from anything I know I wouldn't go very often... 3 days a week to COD is bad enough..lol

chicks!!!!!!!!!!! you are doing so great!!! Well yesterday morning when i got up (slept in it was great) I told my mom dont forget today we have to exercise since i let you off friday. Well lets just say that by the time we got all our stuff done at the house ( and i colored my hair) it was time to go to the cookout!! So i had planned on being home by 8:30-9pm so that we could still do our exercise but i started playing a game and before i knew it, it was 9pm and we watched fireworks so when i got home i told mom ok thats it no excuses tonight when we get home we hit the mini gym lol. So if i can ever get STARTED i think it will be great. So who all is doing the bootcamp or the baby bootcamp?

Hey Ladies,
Today I did 35 minutes of cardio (running short on time) and Legs. I talked with a trainer (who tried to get me to buy traning sessions). Sounds like I'm doing enough cardio, so that is good to hear. Anyway, I feel good. I had gained about 1 pound over the 4th of july weekend, but lost it after a day of eating POP and making sure to get all of my water in. I can't believe how much that helps. I wish I would just do it everyday. Water, water, water. I'll talk to you all later.

Back to the gym - 30 minutes treadmill and abs - wanted to start back slow....
Will pick up pace tomorrow. Will be able to work out before and after work, cuz DH is up at our lake place this week and I'm home alone........
Good to be back to the grind....lol

I got some exercise this weekend.....

I mowed the yard with a push mower for about 4 hours on Saturday. My shoulders are sunburnt, but I was surprised that I wasn't sore on Sunday.

karen,
Sometimes that home maintenance type exercise is the best..........way to go.

Cheated today on the exercise thing - stayed in bed, I am still pooped from vacation.
Anyhow, I watched HSN and ordered a body shaper from Rhonda Shear. It goes from under your boobs to below your thighs and is suppose to make you look 10 pounds thinner. Well we'll see and if it works I'll order another one and that will give me a loss of 20 pounds and I'll be below goal.....

Hey fit chicks,

I've been MIA from the board but not from the gym ;-) Monday it was swimming and walking, tuesday was 3.5 miles in the neighborhood, last night was 30 minutes on elliptical, 30 minutes on treadmill and 20 minutes of weight training. I overdid it a bit yesterday and am a little sore today, but hey...let's me know I'm alive ;-) Tonight is probably treadmill...it's been pretty rainy here in the Ohio Valley (fallout from Dennis), so it's indoor activities for me.

Take care,
Jen

Jen - I see you are in the 160's....way to go girl - so close to goal. Hum......could it be all that working out?
anyhow, I have missed you, but understand now where you've been - working out 24/7! I think I have room for one more chick idol on my list.......

Okay for me - Went to gym this a.m. did 45 minutes treadmill - easyday still trying to get back in the swing of pre vacation life.....

I couldn't sleep last night/this morning, so I went to the gym around 4:30am. It was hard to get going, but after about 5 mintues it was ok. I did 35 minutes on the elliptical trainer and 15 minutes on the bike. Then I did my upper body and abs. My husband looked at my legs today and said they are getting more toned. Woohoo. It's nice when someone notices. I didn't even really notice until he said something. I'm going to get up early and go to the gym again in the morning. Although it will probably be 5:30 instead of 4:30. It feels good to get up early and get the working out out of the way. Now that I'm planning on it, I probably won't be able to get myself out of bed.

Mandy

Mandy - Congrats on the hot legs.....lol It is AWESOME when people notice and actually comment on it.......It soooooooooo reinforces all the good we are doing with our exercise.
Working out early in the morning is the best for me too, drag up out of bed, change into workout stuff, drive to gym, workout...done by 7:30 a.m. Have the whole rest of the day to play.....Now that's a plan!

7-18-05 Change of routine at the gym......startig today.
Changed up workout to light lifting M-W-F - about and hour..with abs and thighs.
Cardio - 45 minutes treadmill - T-T.......
Gonna try and add in some after work stuff too, which will be cardio, probably riding my bike......
Started weighing my portions again on Sat and I think my weight showed a loss on my scale today......Hey maybe when you follow the plan it will work, duh - think???
LOL.......

Hello fit chicks.....Well i just got back into my exercise routine yesterday i did 30 min on the treadmill 1.4 miles, 100 crunches and 3 sets of 8 (5 different moves with my exercise bands) I have decided to use them instead of the weights at least for now. So i was pleased with my new exercise plan and will be doing the same again tonight.
