That dvd really kicks my butt. I love it though because it works a whole bunch of other muscles that I don't get to work by running on the treadmill. I always wake up real sore the next morning. Especially in my butt and back of my theighs.. Even if I only do 20 minutes. I'm pretty sure it's the darn squats that do it.
Anyway, I hope to lose atleast 4lbs by the end of this month. Febuary is a short month so I have to have a little more motivation.
I've also decided to try the Special K challange. It says that you're supposed to lose up to 6lbs in 2 weeks. I started that today. But I have to look it up online to folow through with the rest of it. I had one bowl of it this morning and I bought the granola bars yesterday so now I just have to find the right plan..
So figure this diet on top of exercising, I should be able to reach my goal weights each month.. we'll see!

maaannn
Yesterday morning, I hit up the gym. First time in two days. I'm really slacking and finding myself unmotivated alot more. Not sure why.
But I didn't eat anything before I went and I think that might have contributed to how awful I did -
I ended up running the 2 miles in the end but I'm not going to lie, it sucked and I didn't do it all at once like I normally do. I did one mile w.o stopping and the walked for 2 minutes. Did another half mile, and got off and did the bike for only 2 miles. Then I did my arms (two sets of 10 on each but I added more weight on some) and then hopped back on he bike for what I thought would be another mile but I only had another half mile in me. So all in all, I edventually did the 2 but just broke it up a little..
So on a day like today, when Aaron's home in the morning, I'll usually go to the gym but I'm still sitting here on te computer. I have yet to give the boys their breakfast and have yet to take a shower. Soooo, I'll end up going tonight probably..
In other news - I took Noah to teh doctors the other day and he wouldn't get on the scale so they had me get on and then had me get on with him so they could figure out the weight... now this is going to be depressing - it said that I weighed 144! UGH.. PUKE! WHAT?! I think that I need a set of doctors scales cuz apparently our are off 4lbs. Or atleast that is what I thought until I got home and weighed myself on ours - the SAME! How on Earth did I gain 4 pounds? Ugh.. I don't know but it's a big ego killer..
I weighed myself this morning and I was 141.. but you're always lighter in the morning anyway, right?
Annnnd I bought my first bikini yesterday. Man, that was a mistake. Buuut it gives me more motivation to keep going at it.

Pasta = motivator?!
Ha.. so it seems like every night that I have pasta, I kick ass at the gym.. strange, right?
Tonight I did 2.27 miles on the darling treadmill and 4.50 miles on the bike. Also my normal arm workouts. 2 sets of 10 on each machine. So I think I did pretty awesome.
The gym was the most popular place on the Earth tonight! When I was at about 1.50 on the treadmill, Tiffany came in. She started using the elipitical and I knew that she was waiting for the treadmill cuz that's what she does - (runs 4 or 5 miles) but I kept on trucking. And about 5 or 6 cars pulled in outside(cuz there is a huge window that looks from the gym to the parking lot) and left. I'm sure it was all people who were like,"darnit, I want to go in there and work out but I can't because there are two other people in there!" Which is fine by me. I think that 2 people should be the max in this gym. It's really small.. like Ive said before. .
Sooo here is my new goal - to run 3 miles (without stopping) by the end of Febuary. I know that I can do it.. and it's going to be a piece of cake. I HAVE to do it because if my Dad ( who happens to be over 50) can do it and then some, I can too! Plus, I want to run in The Turkey Trot next November which is 3 miles.. so by then, lol I hope to be over 3 miles.. probably 5-6ish.. then I would kick ass on that Trot! And I get to run it with my Dad and probably Aaron so that's cool..
So yes, that is my long term goal - to run in The Turkey Trot in November..

lame-o
So Ive missed the gym for 2 days now. Mainly because Noah's been sick. So hopfully I can go tonight when AAron gets out of work and continue my 2mile streak. Maybe I'll push myself a little farther who know... hopefully I can push myself to just the two mile mark lol..
That's te bad thing about taking a day or two off.. I have no motivation to go back. But once I get there, I'm in the zone. It's just the matter of getting there that I have no motivation for.

To the gym!
Well, it's 9:30am on Sunday and I figure that I should get my butt to the gym before the Superbowl. So hopefully, after two days away, I can continue my 2 mileness.
More to come..
So I'm back after a nice long well deserved shower.
I ran 2 miles which took me 20 minutes. (burned 150 cals) Then did my arms. 2 sets of 10 on each and decided to try the bike fo 20 minutes. Normally I hate the bike just as much as the eliptical but I pushed myself on the hilly workout for the whole 20 minutes. I went 5.1 miles. Burned 100 cals.
I think I did pretty well. I didn't do my workout dvd lastnight because Noah wouldn't go to bed. He was up until 10:30! So I had to push extra hard at the gym. Not sure if I'll go tomorrow or not. Aaron will be home all day so there really isn't any reason not to. I think I'm just tired now. Tomorrow morning, I'l be ready again..
In other news, it's 55 out! We'll probably be taking the boys for a wagon ride, too later on. Plus, I think I'm goin to get my hair cut and then watch the superbowl..
NOt eve sre who I'm rooting for. Probably the Cardinals
