Don't Know Who You're Calling Lazy Kid

Today kicked my butt. I have been skipping the morning workouts and annoying as it might be for FS2, sleeping in helps me to eat less because I am awake less hours. Anyways onto what I did today. Around 4 I dragged myself to the gym after a few days of light workouts and started on the elliptical. This was just to get the heart rate pumping and then I went to Body Pump. I decided to bump up the weights to see what it was like and it was greatness. I feel every muscle in my body. I ran into JJ at Body Pump and then we decided to stay for Body Combat which nicely handed my ass to me. It was a sweat party with all the cardio we were doing. Afterwards I thought I could keep going but I decided to spend some time at home relaxing and having some grub. After an episode of The Big Bang Theory and Whitney I began to feel restless so I decided I had one more trip to the gym in me. I powered through an hour of biking and walking and now I am completely exhausted. I burned about 1250 calories today and I'm feeling good. Wish I didn't have to take my weight for weight watchers once a week but it is nice to see the results. Just keeps getting better :)

No NO NO!

Oh no FS1... you don't get to get out of being a lazy kid and not wanting to wake up at 0515 to go workout. lol.  You shall work out with me again!  I haven't weighed yet.  I'm determined not to do so until I feel fit.  Then I can surprise myself with weight loss and/or no weight loss (meaning I would have picked up some muscle).  There's no way I'm not losing fat working out this much!  I'm back to 100% according to my PT unless something flares up so look out gym, here I come!  I looked in the mirror today and was like... oh is that my tummy?  It seems smaller.  YAAAAAY!


Jessi is going to be a big help though.  On Monday (my day off) we worked out not once, not twice, but THREE times!  We went to three hour-long classes and it was great though my calves are still sore :(.  Yesterday I was a morderate lazy-kid, but I jumped on the Body Pump early this morning and raised my weights across the board (sore already) so I'm feeling good about it.  I may go for a run at lunch... who knows?  :)


Anyhow.  I've got to work and such so I'm done.

Still Going Strong

It is week 2, day 1 and we are still going strong. I have found that I enjoy working out more by myself at night. So FS2 and I have separated in a lot of the workouts that we do but our roommate JJ has stepped in to fill my spot. Overall since we began I am feeling a lot better health wise and it gives my anger a healthy outlet. Plus I am already down 1.7 lbs. I do need to kick up my cardio so I am thinking about biking everywhere until I feel like it is where it needs to be. I think that this was a very productive first week and I look forward to the many more weeks to come! Getting in shape has never felt this good.

From 3 trips to....

So I made it to the gym three times yesterday. First trip included a half mile jog and the Zumba. I didn't remember how difficult it was and how uncoordinated I look when I try to follow along. It may have looked like I was a big weirdo but it was a blast and then I ended the day with a couple of laps in the pool. My second trip, I dragged the hubbs along for a workout but I could only bring myself to do about a half mile jog and some abs. Lastly I got FS2 to go along for her first workout of the day and we did a few more laps in the pool. Overall I think that it was a fairly productive day. As far as today goes, I am slacking a bit... I think I will pull through and find the motivation to make it to the gym though. Wish me luck... And send FS2 lots of frowny faces, just because :)

Day ??? Who cares?

Hola!  It's Friday.  woot!  That means I can summarize my week [M2, T1, W1, Th1, F2]

I'm getting into the groove of this new workout/work/class schedule.  I had to break it down by hour into the 168 hours a week to fit it all.  I'll share my schedule on here later.

I haven't been able to do two-a-days much this week. Got one in on Monday, but I don't have classes Monday and that means I'm off from 1730 on.  That's the same thing today so I'll get my rear down to the gym post work.

My diet's been a bit iffy.  I've been eating the majority of my meals while driving or while at work due to the constraints of my schedule, but once I pick up a few things from the grocery store this weekend (1300-1200 on Saturday lol) I will be ready to tackle this week without stopping to grab some comida rapida (fast food).

Anyhow, the rest of my life's going good.  I took Thursday off to get caught up in my classes.  Biology studying with SGT Lemos this weekend should get me ready for this test on Monday.  Work's going good and I'm feeling much better since I started my physical therapy about 8 months ago.  I'm finally able to work out 100% and I've progressed to the above workout schedule with my back pain staying below a 1 or 2 on the pain scale.

I'm optimist about life!

Wiped

I didn't think that I could ever be this tired. Went to Body Pump this morning and it was a blast, I think that I finally figured out the weights I need. So at least I can walk but FS2 has tomorrow off and I'm thinking that it is about time that we get to sleep in. We will see though she is kind of a nut about getting up early. Now I just have to decide what to do at the gym tonight. It is either Body Combat, a swim or a run... I guess all three is also a possibility. Ahh too many choices and way too tired to think! Good news is we get our shirts tomorrow or Friday, we will post pictures. They are going to be so awesomely obnoxious that you wont be able to handle it. You're welcome.
