30 Day Shred (Day 1)

Well, I have gotten to the gym 5-6 times in the end of August, but I'm not doing anything on a regular basis. ... So I decided to get one of Jillian Michael's workout DVDs - 30 Day Shred. It is 20-minute workouts, centered around 3 circuits of strength, cardio, and abs. I did Level 1 and will probably stay there for a week or so. At least this will give me something to do - NO EXCUSES - when the gym is closed. We'll see how it goes...

The Butt of It all....

I should have known to call "uncle" and just give up when I discovered the dog had started out the morning by snacking on toilet paper. A normal person would know that today was going to be a challenge. I actually have been getting out and exercising-- trying to enjoy summer while it still exists. I've been running/jogging 5Ks to 4 miles. Today I felt awesome and was hoping to run 4 miles... until my stomach exploded. I made it home.... I guess that counts for something!

Okay, I'm STILL behind...

.... I mean really behind...

I have actually been working out a little. Since August started I've done an amazing four...yes count 'em four workouts! This includes two 60 minutes for Wii Steps, a 4 mile walk on the treadmill and a 4.5 mile walk/jog outside. the walk/jog was yesterday.

So, here's to watching summer go away without me putting up much of a fight.... :(

Finishing up July with 4 more workouts

Okay, I'm WAY behind on posts, and I don't have ANY more sloth pictures. I have 4 entries to round out July and I might as well start out clean for August. I ended up gaining back the weight I lost at the end of July ( I was at 11.5 pounds total). Bleck. Now I barely made it to 10. I can't break that barrier.

Anyway, I did one 5k outside, I walk on the treadmill, and 2 Wiifat step workouts --one of which did set a new record of 4500 steps!

Now, I'm going to do better in August.... really!
