The Do You Work Out Zone

sylvie · 05-15-2012, 04:19 AM

i just finished packing my gym bag...
i have an appointment at my daughter's school at 830, and then i am heading to meet a friend i work with at his gym..

He's going to walk me through a great arm workout with weights, and a core workout, because those are two areas i need to really focus on along with cardio to lose the rest of this weight and tone loose skin. Especially the arms, i am so self conscious about them after having lost weight. i am very grateful he's willing to do this, when i priced a personal trainer, there is no way i could afford that right now..

wish.me.luck.

feeling a big difference in how i am feeling these days..
i realized i can sit and wallow in my challenges in life, or i can use them to my advantage and allow them to shape me into a stronger & more confident being..

so, these last few days i've noticed an increase in energy..this is GOOD.
so i have many ways i can get off my ass and do something, regardless of the work shifts i work, etc..

So my work out goals for the next few days are:
- get to the gym tomorrow & friday.
- thursday, i work a split shift (7-10 & 130-7) so i will walk the 30 min way for each shift, that's 2 hours of walking right there.
- i will start a SparkPeople activity challenge (30 days) and follow through.
- i will try something 'new' at the gym either tomorrow or friday, whether a new machine or a new class or something..

Also, i dug out my Training to Run book again, and am reading up on everything i need to know to do this properly.. Gear, breathing, posture, intervals, all of it. And Monday i will start my program and do it safely, no rushing through it.. my goal is to run a Marathon once i complete this program..

i have all of the tools necessary, i have the friends willing to help & train and i have a spot in some running clubs once i am ready to join waiting for me..

How exciting is this!

I have had a membership to Element Fitness but because of the pain I have had I havent been able to take full advantage of it,so today I went to a chiro to see what he can do,already I feel some better but he said it would take a fue appointments to hopefull get as much of the pain gone as possable.I know me when I hit the gym I want to be in the weight room more than anywhere else so the less pain the more I can do to change how my body is and hopefully into a healthy buffed body.I know it wont happen over night but one day and step at the time.
