DC's Tueday

I went to Curves and worked up a great sweat. Hallelujah I've finally gotten to the point were I want to work out. I look forward to it all day! This is a new thing for me but I love it!

Breakfast: 2 pieces turkey bacon, Greek yogurt w/ granny smith apples, walnuts, almonds, flax seed

Lunch: Lean Cuisine meal

Snack: 1/2 granola bar

Dinner: Chicken Marsala, Green Salad

Dessert: Brownies & fresh strawberries

p.s. I've always had a little bulge on the outside of my thighs. It was so noticable whenever I wore knit pants. Well it's gone! Yay!!

Tuesday walking, lots of hills

Walked today in a neighborhood with BIG hills. Pushing a stroller with two kids up and down steep hills was a pretty good workout. My calves hurt big time tonight. Guess I had better stretch out a little before bed.

Tuesday- Running OUTSIDE 30 minutes, March in Place 30 minutes

I actually ran for 10 minutes, walked for 10 minutes, and then ran for 10 more minutes. I covered 2 1/2 miles this way (in 30 minutes). I thought I did pretty good since this was my first time running OUTSIDE. When I got home I marched in place 30 minutes. It was kind of a fluke, because I got my wires crossed with my friend, and apparently I did not have to get up at 5:30AM, but I was awake, so I decided to try running since there would be less people to see me that early.

The sorest thing afterward was my chest because I forgot to put on the high impact sports bra I had bought for running. Gotta remember that for next time. Ouch! I also really need to get some decent running shoes. I have a pair of Asics Gels I use for walking, but they are getting pretty old anyway. I'm saving up My Coke Rewards points to get a $10 off at Foot Locker, so that should offset the cost of a decent pair of running shoes.

My First goals for running- Get up EARLY and go running at least once a week in the morning. Run 30 minutes straight without stopping. Run 3 miles in 30 minutes instead of 2 1/2 miles (I know that's slow, but please remember I am short with short legs).

Made a deal

I made a deal with the husband that when he gets home, after we eat dinner, I get to have "me" time. This used to include sitting and surfing the internet. Now I am going to run... we'll see how far I get. Last night, the boss made hubby work super late. We'll try again today- you hear that, UPS? Send my husband home!

But I did get my pilates in.

DC's Monday

I worked out at Curves. I worked both the machines and recovery stations pretty hard. I followed up with sixty crunches.

Breakfast: B-fast scramble: 2 eggs, potatoes, green peppers, onions w/cheyenne pepper, chili powder, red pepper flakes

Lunch: Lean Cuisine dinner

Snack: 1/2 roasted chicken Sub

Supper: 1/2 roasted chicken sub

Tuesday---Keeping it going

Last week was a good one except Friday I didn't get up and get my workout in. I didn't get to bed the night before until 12:30 a.m., but I have a good excuse, I went down to the Tuachan (Performing Arts Theatre) and saw Les Miserables. It was so good and worth staying up the late hours.
Yesterday and today got up at 5:30a.m. and did my treadmill and weights yesterday, ab work today. We are going camping this weekend, so I am going to try to keep my workouts in, it shouldn't be to hard.

I was rather busy last week, so I had a bad week exercise wise. I ran 4 miles with my sibs in Nauvoo which included some hills.

I ran today with the medium group. We ran 4.5 miles with the Challenge of the Bluff hills added in. Let me tell you, we have some MEAN hills around here. They are called bluffs, and running up them is not fun!

Then I had a COLD shower. Miserable. Our water heater broke. Getting a new one today.
