Thursday

I did 40 minutes on the bike (trainer) today. It's been 4 weeks since I started on spark people. So far I've lost the 5 lbs that I put on (in one week). I've lost one inch from my waist and pretty much nothing anywhere else. My hips measured exactly the same. They didn't have me measure my bust, but I wish they would have. I bet I've lost weight there. lol! It's getting easier to stick to a sensible diet. I'm totally not starving myself, if anyone is wondering. I'm just trying to keep it under control. I'm sticking to about 1800 calories a day, plus I'm trying to make them mostly healthy, but I'm so not giving up chocolate. I give myself a bit everyday. All in all, I'm happy with how this is going.

Wednesday JM 30 Day Shred Workout 2 (25 minutes)

I used the 10 lb free weights, which makes workout 2 even harder. I like it better though. I know I'm burning lots of calories and building the muscle I enjoy having. I might have to buy this DVD ;)

Wednesday

Jillian Ripped in 30, Week 4. Tough! I'm afraid to say that the diet is going well, because I'm due to crash any day now. Probably today.

Tuesday Yoga 40 minutes

I felt too yucky to do the whole hour :P

Tuesday Running 3 miles (35 minutes)

Still fast for me, but not a long run like I wanted. I sprinted the last 1/8 mile or so. I still am hitting (hopefully) the tail end of this cold.

I might try to do yoga later to work out some kinks.

Tuesday

I ran the hill route with the group again today. I felt pretty good today. Of course that may have been because most of the fast people were missing today, so I wasn't killing myself trying to keep up. I do think that I have pretty much recovered from my 2 months off. Yay!

Monday Swimming 1 hour

10 minutes breaststroke
10 minutes freestyle
10 minutes backstroke
5 minutes freestyle
10 minutes backstroke
5 minutes freestyle
10 minutes kick board

Also- took a screaming toddler through a grocery store. The writhing child workout? I had to take three days off due to some horrible version of a cold that one of my children cursed me with. I hate taking breaks from exercise! I was still feeling yucky today so I did not get much else done.
