End of the Month

This month was productive but could've been better. I didn't get really into the last month, of the Oxygen 3 part series like I wanted to. But it now time for a change. I've taken all the exercise, that I've done over the last 3 months and put them in a binder. Each one is section off for each body part. I'll be taken this to the gym with me. My eating habit was way off. So guess what? I'm starting back over. I haven't weight myself but I'm thinking I've regain the 5 lbs lost
due to me sabotaging my eating habit. But I'm stll learning and best part is I can always start over.

So see you guys next month!!!!!!!!!

Aerobic class cancel off to the gym!

Josalyn and I was to attend the 3:30p.m.- 4:30p.m. body blast aerobic class. But was disappointed to find out that the class was cancel. So We went to the gym tonight from 6:30p.m.-8:30p.m. We did an hour of Cardio on the Elliptical machine. 3sets of 12 rep per sets of chin up,(shoulder), push ups(arms) and sit up with throwing the ball.

Josalyn and I have been admiring this guy, who work out at the gym legs. He gets on the Elliptical machine and go to works for an hour. He give 100% effort pumping them legs hard and be dripping sweat. I told her(which she didn't believe) that I heard he use to weigh 255 pounds. She was in doubt so, I convince her to lets go talk to him about his routine .

We ask about his leg routine? He say he do 1 hour of cardio six days a week, either on the elliptical machine, treadmill, running outside for one mile backwards or forward and 10 minutes of jump roping.
Did he have a set schedule ? Yes, everyday at 6:00
So Josalyn said so there is hope for me. He then explain to her that he used to weight 255 pounds. He began doing cardio and it took him 6 months to loose 40 pounds. It help that he explain that to her because she weight 258. He told her to stay focus, pick a time to work out and stick to it no matter what. Give 100% effort. Josalyn then state well since you work in the gym it should be easy uh? He said no it's a challenge everyday. But since fast food is my weakness I know that I have to workout twice as harder to eat what I want. Plus it help that the ladies that work out at the gym plus him all do it together and encourage each other.

My toe is heal and I'm training someone!

I stayed away from strenuously activity for a week so, that my toe can heal 100%. The swelling is completely gone, no tenderness and I can wear a shoe. Today was my official day back in the gym:). Guess what, I'm training someone. She is 18 and ask me would I help her get back in shape. She want to workout with me Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

I ask her what was her overall goals and what areas she wants to work on.Today she wanted to work on Abs and Arms. She did really good after, getting her to stop worrying and thinking about people looking at her. I had to explain to her that the people in the gym are in there for the same reason she is. One is to lose weight, maintain or increase their muscle. I even made her close her eyes when she did sit up. Because each time her eyes would be wondering around looking to see who looking at her. So we started today doing the following......

Cardio
Treadmill 30 minutes
ABS (3 sets of 12)
Bicycles
Sit ups
leg raises
Arms(3 sets of 12)
Triceps Curls
Triceps dips

Swelling going down

The swelling in my toe is going down. But i'm not able to put a shoe on my right foot. Nothing is broken but I just have to stay off it.

Hurt my Toe

Saturday,I hit my pinkie toe on the side of my kitchen cabinet. Didn't realise it was swollen until, I took my shoe off. I can move it and walk on it, but I limp when I do. My last day of exercising was friday.

Cardio

Today husband and I went to the gym. I did 1 hour on the elliptical machine. I took advantage of getting out and enjoying the sun. Not to often that you get sun in Washington.

A relaxing /fun vacation

Hey Bloggers I've made it back from my vacation!! All I can say is I had a marvelous time. It was very relaxing and fun. I found out that I could really, lived without the Internet, land line and my cell phone . I limited my phone calls only to DH or the kids. Everyone else that I talk to daily or every other day was told not to call me. Guess what It was such a pleasure not talking on the phone:D! I spent time with my mom/dad, my brother and his family and my best friend. . She was surprise and happy to see me. She found out that I was coming two days prior. But was a lil disappointed that I didn't bring her grandsons.

I ate breakfast everyday. Lots of fruit and veggies. My BM was regular (tmi) and the weather was perfect. I spent two days finding and going Thur parents paperwork(financial paperwork )putting it all in one spot. Making sure they have adequate insurance coverage, talked about getting LTC etc..

I arrive in town on
Wednesday. I spent time with my mom, dad and brother. My best friend and I went to a Mexican restaurant for Margaretta's and dancing afterward(Aerobic).
Thursday I relax around the house spending time with my mom and dad. Took my dad to get a hair cut. My dad and I went for a walk that a.m.. Although, we didn't go far because of his knees are bad. But I was proud of the distance he did walk.
Friday Spent timne with my dad that a.m. My best friend and I went out to eat that p.m.. I had a spectacular tasty dish of Salmon, mash potatoes and green beans. We sat around and talk.

Saturday I attend a dance class with her from 12-1. All I can say is within 15 minutes of dancing sweat was pouring. The music was pumping, the guy teaching it was very energetic and fun. We did different line dance(electric slide) and other dances. We attend a 20 minutes AB class.
Sunday arrive at my hotel. The hotel did have a lil gym. They had one treadmill ,an elliptical machine and some other machine. While waiting on my room mate to arrive I ran on the treadmill for 20 minutes.
Monday I attended class from 8-4 with breaks in between. Later that evening went to Wild Bill. It was close down just for our company. They provide an all you can eat buffet and we had a great time parting(dancing) from 6-9. Although, we left at 8 and went to some Irish restaurant called the leprechaun. I got back in at 10 and went to bed at 12.
Tuesday attended class from 8-3. We went out to eat around 6 p.m.and talk. Got back to the room at 9. Re pack my bags and went to sleep.
Wednesday arrive back home. Happy to see my family and be back in my home. But I've been sneezing every since. The weather here is cloudy and cold. But I happy to be back home.

Today Thursday husband and I went to the gym! Hope everyone is having a great week. Enjoy your day,

On vacation from April 2-9th!

I'll be on vacation from the 2ND - 9Th. Yes, I will maintain my workout program while away. I'll probably have limited access to the gym and Internet, but have plan workouts that I can do outside of gym. This will be the first time that I'll, be leaving the kids with their farther. Don't get me wrong. I have left them (sons) at home for 3 days by them self. But of course husband was in Iraq. But this is the first time leaving both (kids/ husband). They will be missed but at the same time, a lady got to do what a lady got to do:D !!!
