Day nineteen - 05/21/08

I hadn't been to boot camp Monday or Tuesday. Frankly, I got enough of a workout this weekend. I think we must have walked 20 miles. Or at least it felt that way.

I went this morning and I'm glad I'm back. I'm sad that next week is my last week.

My legs (thighs) are becoming shapely! I can't believe it. I mean, I expected my tummy to slim down a little and my arms to tighten, but I hadn't given much thought to my legs. :-) It's a nice feeling.

Today we did a circuit of running, jumping, walking with bands on our ankles (forward and backward) sit ups, crunches, arm work, push ups. You name it, we did a little of everything. It was gooooood.

I believe we'll be running our mile this week. Not sure if we'll do it again next week.

By the way, our class started with 25 people this session, today we had 12. It's too bad we lost so many, it definitely is worth the effort to keep going.

Thanks for checking in on me.

Day Fourteen - 5/6/08

It's the day before my birthday. I went in to work out today instead of tomorrow because I'm working late tonight and so I could sleep in tomorrow. We are hoping to spend the day working on the garden tomorrow. That will be plenty of exercise!

Today we concentrated on arms. They felt like Jell-o by the end of the hour. We also ran, did dips, crunches, cardio, etc. It was an awesome work out. I learned some new exercises for the flabby part of my arms. I will add that to my work out routine at home (along with bra-fat exercises...LOL).

We run a mile on Friday. Wish me luck. I'm hoping just to keep the same time that I had last week.

Thanks for checking on me.

Days off

I've been trying to make sure to keep active on the days I don't go to boot camp and for the most part, it's been pretty easy to do. Now that it's Spring, it's even easier with lawn work and gardening that needs to be done.

I've now added doing 2 sets of 25 crunches and 2 sets of 25 cross body crunches - every night before I go to bed.

I should incorporate some arm work, but haven't yet. I need to get that into a routine, too. I need to get some 5lb and 8lb weights. Right now I'm borrowing Tricia's 5lb weights, but I need to move up the lbs.

I'm looking forward to working out tomorrow. I'll be heading to bed early and I'll be ready to meet the morning with a smile.

Thanks for checking in on me.
