This morning I walked/jogged a 5k in Roseville at Maidu Park. The National Honor Society at the school I teach at put on the event to benefit The Gathering Inn which is an organization that helps homeless people in need and gets them medical help and feeds them and all that great stuff! It was a great day for a run, the weather could not have been ( Read more... )

I will be the first to say that I did not think it was possible, but I had a loss this week! I am down 2lbs to 175.6lbs! It feels so great to see that 5 after the 7 again. Now, if I can just keep it up. Tomorrow I am jogging/walking a 5K, hopefully it doesn't rain! I am so glad it is Friday and the day is even better because of this loss! :D

I did an hour long kettle bell class tonight. Oh geez! I feel good, but I know I will be sore tomorrow for sure! I weigh-in in the morning....we shall see. I don't have high hopes for a loss, but I can dream can't I? 

I did about 40 minutes today at the gym. Go me! 15 minutes on the elliptical, a circuit, and then 10 minutes on the bike. I am feeling pretty good. I am going to have my gym bag packed and ready for tomorrow so I don't have to go home and have a chance to sit on the couch, because if I do I will not make it to the gym, just like yesterday. Today I ( Read more... )

177.6lbs. That is yet another gain, though this time only 0.2lbs, so I guess it could be worse. I'd like to think I will gain first before I lose because muscle weighs more than fat? Yea, I am stretching it. My arms are so sore from yesterday. Now it is time for girl's night at Morgan's!!! :D

I had my first official, hour long group session today at the gym, and I am still alive! I am sure I will be sore tomorrow! More than anything my hands hurt! LOL In the class they had us using TRX straps that are connected to the wall and you grip them and do exercises using your own body weight. They are awesome, but my hands are aching! I am ( Read more... )

Even though I was still sore, I did get myself to the gym yesterday for about 35 minutes. I did a 10 minute warm-up on the elliptical, a circuit around the room, and then a 10 minute cool-down on the bike. It felt pretty good! I also signed up for the 10 group training sessions for $149. I felt that it was better for me because if i did the $89 a ( Read more... )

177.4lbs. That is a 1.2lb gain. Boo! Though I am sure I lost it in my trial group class at the gym tonight! The class was called "Hurricane" and boy was it! Scott, the trainer, was really motivating and made things really fun, which helped me not think about the fact that I was sweating and shaking and in pain. I definitely got my butt kicked! I ( Read more... )

So, 3 weeks ago I recommitted myself to eating better and exercising for like the umpteenth time...let's just say it hasn't been going well...at all. Today was the first time in 3 weeks that I have been to the gym, but I am glad I went. I met with a trainer and we did a mini personal training session and he kicked my butt! It felt really good! ( Read more... )

I am down to 176.2lbs. I think that is a .4lb loss...I have been so bad this week! The last time I went to the gym was Saturday...almost a week ago...so much for re-committing. I did really try to stay within my points, but beer and pizza cannot be passed up. Well, there's always next week!
