Monday Walking 45 minutes

In the snow! I had both kids with me, but we did a pretty good pace for snow walking. 2 miles total.

Thursday Exercise Bike + Marching in place (30 minutes)

I did 20 minutes on the exercise bike before my belly got too tight, so I marched it out for the full 30 minutes. I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to exercise outside of a pool!

Wednesday JM 30 day shred workout 2 (25 minutes)

With 10 lb free weights. I was so tired this morning! I'm glad I got up and got moving though. We have the great post-holiday toy purge still to do today, and I think I finally feel up to it ;)

On a paved trail. Cold today! 

Also- cooking and laundry all day ;)

Friday Swimming Laps (35 minutes)

That was pretty much all I got done today. This cold is still getting me down.

10 minutes back stroke
10 minutes freestyle
10 minutes back stroke

Whoops!

I forgot to post yesterday!
This week has been stupid busy.  Been doing some, *ahem*, Christmasing.  (can't go into detail, the kids can read and all)
I did 20 minutes on the machine yesterday, and 20 minutes of running today.  Today I ran .8 miles, and most of that was running.  Go me! :D

Just raking leaves and using a big shovel to re-arrange my compost pile for me today. Whew! Time for a nap now ;)

Oops, spoke too soon! 40 minutes of walking while pushing the double stroller also. The older kids skated and scootered with me as I pushed the 2 year old.

Wednesday Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred (25 minutes)

With 10 lb free weights. I think I will take tomorrow off. I am so tired!

Night run! I could not go swimming today, so I had to do a run. Plus- laundry day!

Monday JM 30 Day shred workout 2 (25 minutes)

With 10 lb free weights. I could not do all the walk out push ups and I'm pretty much modifying all the moves. Still, it gets my heart rate up and gives me a good strength workout. I did NOT feel like working out today, so I'm proud of myself.

Also- walking with the kids for 45 minutes.

Last Thursday and Monday

So, I got busy, and forgot to post my last workout last week, and since I was busy, I didn't get a workout in Friday or Saturday.  Last Thursday I went to a Zumba class I found that is literally walking distance from me!  Score!  It was an hour long class. :D
Today I did thirty minutes bike/elliptical, much heavier on the elliptical, which is really good.  Means I'm getting stronger. 
I was going to run today because on Friday I went to Fleet Feet and got new shoes!  And inserts, and let me tell you, they have changed my LIFE, lol!!  I knew I needed arch support, I just didn't realize how MUCH I needed it. ;)  Anyway, the running didn't work due to the fact that it is literally FREEZING outside.  I need to get some long spandex so I can run in cold weather.  It's supposed to be warmer the rest of the week, though, so I'm sure I can still get a run in.

Saturday Running 30 minutes (paved trail)

Plus, 5 minutes walking to warm up and 10 minutes walking to cool down.

Friday swimming 35 minutes

5 minutes breast stroke
5 minutes freestyle
10 minutes back stroke
10 minutes freestyle
5 minutes back stroke

Plus, following my 2 year old around the smaller (and warmer) pool afterwards. I over did it the last two days, so I literally felt like I did NOTHING else today.

Thursday JM 30 day shred workout 2 (25 minutes)

With 10 lb free weights. I was going to run today, but the thought of getting all the stuff together for the jogging stroller was a little too much. 

Also- wrapping presents for several hours!

Wednesday Pregnancy Yoga (30 minutes)

Plus, walking for almost 2 hours around the mall while (literally at times) chasing my two year old. I'm not sure which one I should consider my "real" workout for the day ;)

Tuesday

I ran today.  I'm not sure how far I went because I didn't drive up to Shaw and run on my regular trail.  I did the same route I did yesterday on my bike, so it was uphill both ways.  I got almost twenty minutes.  I had to quit early because my ankle was killing me.  I'm not going to be able to run again until I get new shoes, these are going to end up maiming me.  I'm looking into that this week.

Catching Up

I started my period last week, that's why I've been MIA. 
So, a week ago last Saturday, I did two and half hours of roller skating with John and the kids.  It was a BLAST.  Not much of a cardio workout, but my calves and thighs definitely felt it the next day!
I weighed in last Monday, and I had gained a few pounds over Thanksgiving, and was definitely retaining because of the girly cycle.  I did no working out last week, it was impossible. 
Today, I weighed in, and I lost 3 lbs last week, putting me at 127.  So all I need to lose is 2 lbs to be back at my goal, and I would like to do that before Christmas so I'm not packing extra when THAT feast rolls around.  More wiggle room.  It's easier to lose five pounds twice than ten pounds once.  That's what I think anyway. ;)
I also biked this morning for almost twenty minutes, and away from the house was mostly uphill.  Surprisingly, the way back was just as much uphill.  How is that possible?!!
Still, not bad for a first post-period workout, those always suck, and this one was better than usual.  Go me!
