So far today, I picked up my computer....grrrrrr
 Gemme makes me feel like I got my big ol slacker pants on lol I will do stuff soonly and prolly squeeze in some yoga once the floor is clear(ish). I get grumpy when I don't do yoga.... Ohhh and upon conversation with my (potential) employers, they have tried "hot" yoga. And one of the girls is my shape and size. Although I feel oddly about doing yoga in public, until I HAVE that "yoga butt", I realize you can't get that butt without doing the yoga. It's like a friggin catch 22. The girl that is shaped more like me said it's very non judgmental. But it's also a 90 minute class...and I only ever do 45 min- an hour at the most. It's worth a try; there's a studio in Asheville that offers 30 days of yoga for 30 bucks. That's really a steal. I'm gonna suck it up and dig in methinks...plus I will be hiking again and doing low carb...hopefully I can get over this plateau from hell that I hit...

I'm sick so I'm taking a break from working out. I have all of this week off from work and it was going to be a week of great work-outs so I'm bummed about that, but on the positive side, I can sleep in and get well more easily hopefully. I received a gift in the mail from one of the members of this thread (hint: T33), a My Little Pony Puzzle, which couldn't have arrived at a better time. I just finished the puzzle, so I guess that shall be my exercise for the day

Hi everyone,
It's been a very long time since I posted! I am back in the lifting groove again for about two months now, and very happy about it. Today I did compound exercises for my back and chest, using a horizontal row machine and a horizontal press machine. Next, I did more back work with 3 sets of Bent Arm Pullovers. I have been focusing on developing my shoulders. So I did 3 sets of Arnold Presses with 35 lbs and next, 3 sets of Arnold Presses with 40 lbs. I finished with 3 sets of In Back of the Head Military Presses with 40 lbs I like this one, because it hits the traps too! After this, Skull Crushers for triceps, EZ curls for biceps, and finally the Tricep Dip machine set at 100 lbs I find watching uTubes on different lifting techniques and reading about it on the web gets me motivated really well! |

I'm not sure if I will make it to the gym, officially, or not today.
Today is my first official day of PT, so it depends on how that goes. Later, gaters! |

My gym visits were uneven the first half of the year. I'd go regularly and then fall off. Rinse, lather and repeat.
However, once my sciatica/SI joint flared up, I started going nearly every day for pain management. Those days that I could not make the gym in the morning before work, I walked around my neighborhood. That's a lot of gym time. I decided to add everything from the flare up to now and see just how much has gone into the past 6 months. Boy, howdy! Taking strictly just the gym stats I posted.....not including my local walks or the weight training.....I've put in some pretty good effort. In the last 6 months, I've burned (approximately) 24,826 calories, walked/ran 219.76 miles and used 4122 minutes of my time wisely. That's 7.093 pounds, 8.39 marathons and 68.7 hours. Wow. Go me.

The only stat I kept for the year was time exercising. I exercised 45 minutes per day (the mean average for 365 days). I'm way happy with that.

I'm that weirdo at the gym that comes in with a tiny notebook and pen and writes things down after the cool down and before the stretching and any possible weight training.
I'm very old fashioned. While I would love to have one of those diddlybobs that measures that stuff, I don't really want it to sync with anything. I would want it to be independent. Hard to find that nowadays. Everything connects to everything. Happy New Year and welcome to 2015, exercisers! How did your 2014 end?  or  or  or all of the above |

January 1, 2015
My first 2015 workout happened in a packed gym. I can't say it wasn't unexpected, especially since I didn't get there until around 10am.
I was sandwiched in but I got on T34 and gave my best shot at it. I did pretty well! T34, random program, level 9 Stats: 436 cal, 3.46 mi, 65:00 min Intervals: 3 @ 60 sec @ 5.4 mph @ .5 incline Between levels 8 and 9 is when the control line changes. Levels 1-8, the base level is 0. Starting with level 9, the incline increases with each level for the base level. I can't go any further than level 9 and do the running intervals due to the strain of speed and intensity of the incline. My body says no. I did make my three main goals today. 1. At least one hour on the treadmill 2. At least 400 calories burned (approximately) 3. At least 3 miles covered (I've got to say that this is probably quite accurate, regardless of the machine's margin of error.) AND I made them BEFORE the cool down started. It feels like cheating to me if I use the cool down as a continuation of the workout instead of as the time for my body to downshift and relax. I also did lower body conditioning. Maybe about a half hour's worth. Then I took a mat and did some stretches, including something my PT wanted me to work on. Balance things are hard when one side of the body is weaker than the other. At least significantly so. But I did okay. Not great and I didn't have a mirror there to correct my form but the effort was put in and that counts. |

 Well, I'm that weirdo too. All the apps and syncing seems like a lot of extra work to me when I have my own little system worked out. I wear a chest strap for cardio but that is just so that the onboard information from the device I get is accurate. I scribble down my weights and only record the top weight I hit on each apparatus, I know that I do four sets of ten and the last set is my high number. I have a super simple little spreadsheet recording system and as long as that one number keeps going up over time I'm happy. It's too easy for me to get wound up in minutia, so that way I'm still tracking (which makes all the difference) but I'm only tracking results for the most part and not giving up a whole lot of data to some company that might decide someday to sell it to insurance companies, if they aren't already. Today is a bittersweet one for me. I miss the beach and all my peeps and workout buddies from there something fierce. This morning several of them were out on the beach at the same time and apparently got talking about me. They gathered around one of their phones and called me for a Happy New Year catch up. Damn near made me cry. It was so good to hear from my friends and hear the wind and the birds in the background, they all told me about the changes in the beach (it's always changing and I was sort of the go-to for biology updates)and it was almost as good as being there. A couple of the park rangers joined in too. I got a good 90 minute fix and I'm calling that my workout today.(Emotionally anyway) Actually, I'm pulling on my woolies right now and heading out into 18 degree weather with little snow flurries and will do about three miles along the river. It is amazingly beautiful in the snow and I just have to get used to a new "beach". It's good and I'll have a go at the gym tomorrow with who knows how many people. I'm a week away from some hip stuff medically speaking, so I'll go light, but it looks like I'm not broken so no excuse.

Good morning, exercisers!
A quickie today: T33, random program, level 8 Stats: 247 cal, 2.03 mi, 35:00 min Intervals: 1 @ 90 sec, 5 @ 60 sec and all @ 5.4 mph, 0 incline The intervals were HARD today. I didn't sleep well last night and I went to be late so I needed every minute. I think some of my dinner from last night might have been hanging around still. I felt sluggish and weighted down for most of the workout. BUT It's done and I'm better for it. Onward and upward! |
