A good day, after a long plateau I'm down a couple of pounds to 152 - 140s are in sight and that hasn't been the case for 25 years!
30 min rowing
30 min crosstrainer
30 min bike
Yesterday, I cut down a tree with a bow saw (ie, hand saw). Ok, it was an 8 yr old softwood, so not that big a tree, but it took me a good 2hrs to saw up the trunk into fireplace size pieces, and to snip off all the little branches etc - judging by the way I feel this morning, I did get a good workout! Plus, at the end of it, I have one less ugly tree & space to plant a nice tree. Since I have 10 acres of scrub to clear, I figure that by the end of the summer, I'm going to look damn hot in a tank top!
I went to the gym on Mother's Day! Yep, after dealing with the committments of the day, I headed out but found that my workout buddy didn't make it. Initially, I was disappointed, but I made a point of working out harder and pushing myself with weights. Had a great workout and it was great to have most of the gym to myself!
I went for a 30 minute walk at lunch time with a co-worker, but I wasn't up to working out tonight. Not enough sleep last night, and my back was hurting more than normal.
Thursday and Friday was Curves, something new I started. Then I did my normal WATP video on Saturday. Sunday, I thought I'd try a light jog and see how it went. Though the baby sits on my bladder and I immediately felt I needed a bathroom break LOL, I pressed on. I slowly jogged for a mile and walked another half mile. Then I did Curves again today.
I went swimming this morning I did 24 lengths in 35 minutes, earlier this year, in february it was taking me 45 minutes to do 12 lengths! I even did back stroke, now that I have my super supportive Speedo swimsuit!!! (I had an accident involving back stroke and a tankini about 8 weeks ago when I really started to lose weight around my back, very embarrassing!!!) Now I am off to the gym for a quiet workout.
I had a 1 hour strength training class at 6am. It's getting easier and easier to get up in the morning. I know that if I don't go in the morning, I won't go. I will probably swim in my pool tonight to get some extra cardio. Kepp up the good work everyone!!
