Did arms today and only did 1 rotation of arm machines at 30 reps with 2 minutes at treadmill in between.  Increased my weight as well.  My arms are very weak so its frustrating.

I’m trying to increase my cardio so I can build up some stamina.  Did 1.96 miles today.  The first 0.75 before I start on the machines is the hardest as my shins are still sore even with insoles in my shoes.

Yeah, it’s Monday!!

Mixed things up a bit and tried to get in a bit more cardio today then normal.  Only did 1 rotation on the leg machines but tried to increase the weight a bit this week.

I’m having a terrible time with shin splints…..I think I’m going to try some arch support insoles and see if that helps a bit.

Today I walked 1.74miles in total and got 32.31 minutes of cardio!

Happy Friday and Happy SysAdm Day!!

Today was leg day and I LOVE Leg day.

Walked my usual 0.75miles to warmup and then did all the leg machines (2×30) with 2 minutes at the treadmill in between.  Wrote down everything I did today so I could figure out exactly how many miles I was walking and keep track of the weights I’d doing on the machine.

Have a great day!!

So, I weighed myself before my workout this week and the scale said 271#……..that’s down 9# from last week.  Yeah!  I’m sure most of it is water weight but I’m glad anyway….gives me hope that I may be able to lose some of this.

So, today was arm day………..I hate arm day!  Walked 0.75miles did all the arm machines with 2 minutes at treadmill in between…….for a total of about 1.75 miles.

I think next week I’m actually going to write down exactly how much I’m walking.

Happy Wednesday!

Well, today was #3 of 3 days in a row……I’m amazed I’m still alive!

Got new shoes yesterday and they’ll definately need some time to break in.  My right foot no longer hurts as much but now my left foot is hurting………  I think I’m going to get some insoles for additional arch-support.

So, walked 0.5miles today and then did the leg machines with 2 minutes in between at the treadmill.  All together walked about 1.25miles.

I think I’m going to take a break tomorrow and try and get back on my regular routine!

Happy Monday!

Wooh……tired today!

Walked 0.75miles and then did my arm machines (2×30reps) with 2 minutes at the treadmill in between.  Continued with the increased speed of 3.4 at my “in-between” times.   In 2 weeks I hope to up my regular walking speed from 3.2 to 3.4.

Met my goal to workout 4 times this week!  Yeah me!.

Next week’s goals will be:

1.  Continue with 4 workouts a week

2.  Keep a food journal so next week I can start counting calories.

Missed my workout on Friday this week due to some family obligations but I’ll work out both today and Sunday to get my 4 days in this week.

Today I walked 0.75miles and then did all the leg machines (2×30reps) with 2 minutes at the treadmill in between.  Up the speed at my “in-between” times to 3.4 so now I’m walking 0.11miles between machines.

Did some stretching at the end as well.

Happy Saturday!

Wow, today was my 1st morning workout and I like it alot better!

Walked 1 mile on the treadmill and did all the arm machines (2×30reps) with my regular 2 minutes at the treadmill in between.

Worked out for 65minutes and had enough time to get home shower and get to work on time!

Weighed myself after my workout and 3/4 of a bottle of water and the weight was 280#.  This is going to be my regular weigh-in time and routine so hopefully I’ll start to see some change.

This should have been posted last night but I was way too tired.

Went to the gym after work.  Did 1 mile on the treadmill……little slower than normal, for some reason my legs were sore yesterday.  Also, was missing my socks……dumb me.

Anyway in addition to the 1mile of walking I did all the leg machines (2×30 reps) with 2 minutes of treadmill in between each machine.

I’m planning on going again on Wednesday am.

I’m thinking of doing a 1 mile Walking off the Pounds DVD on my off days.  Has anyone used that program?
