The Do You Work Out Zone

Rockinonahigh · 08-03-2012, 09:52 AM

I've been puting in anywhere from 30 minits to an hour of workouts a day,I know my body is changeing but the scale seems to be stuck.So today I started a 30day as near to zero carbs as possable to see if I can kick start more weight loss.

Sylvie, I promise to let you know how it goes. In one more week, it will be in the "record books". This will be my first 5k and I can't wait to see how I do and feel. I have a feeling there will be many more in the future as I know I will get competitive with my own time...I will want to better it.

Worked out hard on Thursday (did an overall body weight lifting session with 15 minutes of treadmill running)! It is Saturday and my pecs/biceps/triceps and shoulders are still feeling it. Guess that means I didn't push my lower body hard enough so tonight, after work, is going to be a leg and abs night.

Did two nights of TaeKwonDo tonight, just starting the process towards my second degree black belt. I will say, it's a good all around body workout. Tomorrow is my day off and I plan on going for a very long bike ride and maybe a run at some point during the day. Only six days to be ready for my first 5i.

What are you up to for the weekend?

Have discovered I enjoy working out using only my own body weight for resistance (rather than machines or free weights). My trainer has handed me my a** several times using these techniques. Getting good results!

right now i weight train 2xs a week, run up to 12 miles weekly... bike about 36 miles weekly.

i adjust my diet accordingly and i'm maintaining right now.

i began my working out career back in 1983. almost 30 years.

for me my routine helps my metabolism, stress level, and i feel that much more empowered after my workouts.

Recently I bought a new digital scale,it give a weight count to the ounce so I can keep a track of it all.I find by weighing every other day keeps me on track cause I journal everything I eat includeing calories and carbs.This way if I am contenue to lose/gain I can ajust my meal plan so I contenue to lose weight.My meal plan has lots of low cal but high protine and a fair amount of veggies,mostly in salads with home made dressing.I have lost 2 and a half pounds over the last six days,I am makeing shure I eat/drink enough so I wont crash,so far so good.Plus i'm working out on the average of four times a week,when I dont workout I make shure I do something dureing the day or evening to get my heart rate up and sweat.When it finaly cools off or I can get a fue minits of somewhat cooler temps I give the walk/jog thing a good go
down the long block infront of my house.

I changed gyms. The new one is closer to the house and we can take Baby Luv there. She's actually old enough to walk on the treadmill or ride the bikes! That was a major bonus for us. They also have a designated kid area where she can do homework and keep an eye on us using the surveillance system, which makes us all more comfy.

We'll hit it hard the next day or so while I have a day off and I'll hopefully have more positive news to report.
