Went to gym this morning and did some weights. I think I need to majorly increase my weights and cardio cause I am not seeing any change- only increase if anything. I find it really hard and mindblowing because I exercise and eat better than anyone I know and I still cant get off the weight.

Still, I trudge on...

Later today- run outside or yoga. Hopefully yoga!
Tuesday- am legs at gym and cardio. Dance class in PM with new boyfriend
Wed AM weights at gym (arms) PM yoga
Thursday- legs at gym and cardiio
Friday - AM run- PM yoga workshop
Sat- hoepfully hike
Sun- yoga workshop

Keep working at it and get a better attitude!!!!

mlillie

oh and I bought a heart rate monitor hoping that will help!!!

kistinbee

Good for you mlillie!!!

I'm headed to the gym here in a few! Looking forward to running!!!:bigsmile:

Happy exercising!!!!:drinker:

kistinbee

oh and I bought a heart rate monitor hoping that will help!!!

I want to get a heart rate monitor SO badly, but seriously is not in our budget right now. I'm thinking about putting it down on my birthday wish list (which is in September). Who knows...maybe I'll have a little extra cash flow before then, but I'm seriously wanting one BAD!!!!!

kistinbee

Happy Tuesday! So far so good...although only been a day! Last night I ran for 1/2 hour on the treadmill and burned 350 calories!!!! I also did my 1 hour Body Pump class which I LOVE! Tonight is a 45 minute Step class and then 15 minute Ab workout! Plus, it's Week 1 Day 1 of the 100 Push Ups Challenge...so if anyone cares to join, see "One Hundred Pushups" thread. It's going to be GREAT!!!!

Happy exercising friends! :drinker: I wish you the best of luck!!!

Thanks for the challenge! I get lazy about exercising and this is a great way to stay motivated.
My goal for the rest of this week:
Treadmill run for 20 minutes, 10 minutes weights (Tuesday to Friday)
This Saturday, I"ll go biking for an hour.

I felt really yucky yesterday so only did some wts at the gym and cardio in the am and a chilled out walk in the pm. I have IBS and my stomach was wacky so I had to take it easy. Today I am feeling much better and plan to run after work today.
I did pushups and abs this morning before work- yay. That felt good.

Wed- am cardio and pm yoga class
Thursday - AM spin class (my first try at a 6:15am one!)
Friday- am wts and pm yoga workshop
Sat- hmmm not sure- maybe a hike
Sun- hmm not sure- maybe wts cardio and then the yoga workshop in the afternoon.

I am bummed the scale isnt moving anywhere but up even though I am keeping track. I hope mixing things up helps and eating more basic so my tummy stays on track too.

great job kistinbee and debsgoal for keeping me motivated too!
I will check out the pushup thread- sounds intriguing!

kistinbee

mlillie...keep at it girl! You'll get there!

I'm headin' to the gym! Whoop whoot!!!!!:drinker:

mlillie

I am back to 140! thank goodness. Now to have those last ones come off is gonna be the goal.

Today AM- legs at gym and 15 cardio warmup PM- 90 min yoga class
Did my pushups and abs

breaking 140 and keeping it under that for a week is my big goal!!

kistinbee

Yay mlillie! See...it WILL get better!

Last night I did my 45 min Step class and Abs as planned. And I also did Week 1 Day 1 of 100 Push Up Challenge.

Tonight is 1/2 hour running on treadmill and 1 hour Body Pump. Can't WAIT to run!!! I get such a high!!!

Hope everyone else is doing well! Keep your eye on the ball!!!!!:drinker:

kistinbee

Well...tonight went as planned...1/2 hour run and 1 hour Body Pump! Yay!!! I'll talk to you again tomorrow!!!

mlillie

I feel great this morning.


Last night I went back to yoga and realized that it was missing from my life. I am a yoga teacher and needed to be back in that community again. I feel like am I starting to make my home here in Asheville now.

Thursday AM- Ran and walked up the hills near my house
PM- yoga class
Friday- AM- cardio and wts
PM yoga workshop

I am going to download some of the classes of my fav teachers in LA and do some yoga at home as well. That is my goal for later today.

I realize that my life feels more settled since moving here but less inspired (except for my wonderful new boyfriend) But I need to find my own path and connect with a spiritual community here as well. That was a big realization for me last night.

kistinbee

Good for you mlillie! You do whatever you need to to feel settled and comfortable!

Today will be 45 minute step class and 15 minute ab workout. Plus, it's week 1 day 2 of 100 Pushup challenge. So...I'm ready to do it!

As I mentioned in my weekly goals, I won't make it to the gym tomorrow OR for my Saturday morning spin. So...I'm planning on hitting up the gym in the later morning on Saturday and doing some serious running and maybe even get on a bike for a while or something. I HATE missing a normal day!!!! But not much I can do!

Have a GREAT Thursday and I'll check back probably tonight or if not, Saturday!!!

Happy Exercising!!!:drinker:

kistinbee

Happy Friday! Well...I did good last night! 45 minutes of Step class, 15 minutes of abs, and Week 1 Day 2 of 100 PushUp challenge! Whoot!!!! So...no time to exercise today (Boo!) but planning on some serious running tomorrow! I'll check back then!

Happy Exercising!!!:drinker:

mlillie

Tomorrow- Gym for weights in the am and then- hmm maybe a hike or walk around town with my boyfriend
