How could I forget about my old workhorse? I was thinking running and swimming would be it, but then I noticed what had become a clothing rack sitting in my living room that I could use as well!
15 minutes medium tension
15 minutes lower tension
Plus, 1 hour shopping clearance sales at Sears with the two youngest. It was fun, despite some 2 year old melt downs and having to take a break to nurse the baby.

Tuesday Swimming 35 minutes
10 minutes breast stroke
10 minutes freestyle
10 minutes back stroke
5 minutes kick board
Slow swimming, but it felt good. Plus, almost two hours carrying the baby around the house while doing light housework to get him to sleep longer. So far, he only sleeps on me while in the sling, or if I lay down with him (which is not always possible with a mischevious two year old running around trying to clog toilets and such).

Monday and Tuesday
I forgot to post yesterday! Well, it was more of a busy busy busy day and ran out of time/forgot kind of thing.
So, weigh-in, no gain, no loss. I might need to shave off a couple of Weight Watchers points here. Hrm.
I did the machine yesterday (and yes, that's the elliptical/bike hybrid that I have, and lately I've been doing 5min bike, 5min elliptical cycles) for 60 minutes. I upped the tension, and honestly, I could have gone more, but I had things to do!
Today, it was raining, so I did the machine again, for 70 minutes this time. It was actually longer because I forgot to hit start on one of those five minute intervals. Whoops!
So, here's what I'm thinking. I do like having those long workouts. The extra points for eating is nice, and it's also good for my stamina. But I don't always have time. So, sometimes I'm going to keep the tension where it is now, or later as I get better, up wherever it needs to be, and other times I'm going to skyrocket the tension and get a good hard resistance workout in.

Monday Running/Walking 45 minutes (3 miles)
2 miles slow running- 27 minutes. 1 mile slow walking- 20 minutes
Plus, took the two smaller kids to the grocery store for the first time! The 2 year old predictably gave me more trouble than the 6 week old.

Friday
I did 80-yes *80*-minutes on the machine today. I could have kept going, but I needed to get through the shower and cook dinner. On the up side, freaking 80 minutes!!! On the down side, I think maybe it's time to up my resistance. Lol!!

Wednesday
I went to Zumba for an hour, and walked Bronx for 40 minutes, between 1.5 and 2 miles. That means, for Weight Watchers, I got to add 500 more calories for the day!! Yumyumyumyumyum. I am epically hungry, so yay for workout calories!!
