I did 45 minutes of water aerobics today. It felt great!

I got off the couch to eat and potty a few times today!

Fireswan - girl, you RAWK your workouts. I want to be you when I grow up - fitness-wise, that is, LOL!

Hubby and I did our LBWO today - managed to get in 3 sets of lunges, squats, deadlifts, step-ups, and calf raises. This was my very first lower body free weight workout, and I felt like a total dork trying to do these exercises I'm definitely not familiar with! I am sure I will feel more confident in my form as I get a bit fitter and more comfortable with the exercises themselves.

I did wear my weight belt to support my lower back - and I can tell it helped. There were a couple of times that I felt a slight "discrepancy" in my back, one that from experience I know would have turned into a major spasm episode if not for the support of the belt!

Won't have time for a lunch-time gym trip today, so will attempt to get my steps in doing incremental walks throughout the day at work - and climbing stairs one building over every time I have to go to the bathroom. I hope everyone has a wonderful active losing day!

Sorry I've been absent y'all-lots of work to do for my upcoming mission trip and for my Seminary application. But I"m back! Yesterday I moved! I did water aerobics for 45 minutes for about 350 calories burned! I LOVE WA to start my week!

Today I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and started weight lifting, too. Nothing major, just the 30 day shred level 1 weights, but done in order without the rest of the killer workout and after my cardio. Since my heart rate was up the whole time, I count it good! Total burn for both activities: 450!

I missed my strength training yesterday. I hate that, but I was sick and missed training altogether. Back to it today. I did water jogging for one full mile-45 minutes. My intent is to do my strength training either this afternoon or tomorrow.
