July 20, 2009

We went to Pro Health tody and I started off on the recumbent stepper - did my 1000 steps in a bit 0ver 10 minutes then I looked for a treadmill. None available. So, I dcided to keep moving and I sat down at a rowing machine and did 2 minutes worth until a treadmill opened up.

Then I did a mile on the treadmill in about 22 minutes and then did a few minute son the bike.

So, today we went to Pro-health for JOhnny's class and I started out on the recimbent stepper. I like it, it gets my arms and legs moving and warmed up. I did 10 minutes and 1000 steps then moved to the teadmill. I was able to go faster todat since I as warmed up and I spent most of the time cycling up between 3 and 3.3 I was so excited to go that fast. My heart rate went high, 143, and I slowed down, then cycled up again!

Somehow I weigh 287 today but I am thinking that if I ever have a BM I will weight aboit 10 pounds less!

My body was exhausted today and ached all over. We took Johnny to his first swiming lesson and he ended the lesson holding his ear from pain after diving down to pick up a ring. Scary, I forgot about his ear tube since he is new to the whole underwater thing.

No exercise today. No weight today. I feel lousy and wish I could go to the bathroom.

So today was Johnny's speed and agility class and David and I went upstairs to work out. We did treadmills - I did a 1 minute faster, 1 minute slower thing and did a mile then started cooling off because I was feeling sore in my calves. I also did some ab crunches on a few different machines and did some stretches. Then we headed down to the pool for 45 minutes of floating and playing.

Didn't weigh today

Did a deep water aerobic class today and it was ok. Interesting to float.

Weight 282 at pro-health and 292 at home.

1 straight week of exercise. GO ME!!!

July 13, 2009

We all went to Pro health again today so Johnny could go to his first speed and agility class. David and I went upstairs to see the place. Every machine had a TV monitor attached. I tried the "newest and most dificult" machine in the place the precor multi motion eliptical for a few minutes, then did 8 minutes of recumbent eliptical, then did 20 minutes on te teadmill but I started feeling nauseaus so I slowed down and got off at 1 mile.

I think I started not feeling well because I was reading the closed captioning on the TV. Next time I need to remember my headphons. I had the Ipod, just know way to listen to it. David wandered around and did a few 10 minute spurts but he wasn't totally involved with exercise today. That;s ok - he's going to judo too.

Didn't weigh today

We went to family swim time again today and again Johnny astounded me with his ability to make quick progress. He is swimming half way across the pool underwater now. It's amazing. David came with us today!

No sustained exercise - just 1.5 hours of catching johnny when he jumoed in and swam to me, swimming with him, and having fun with my family!

I tried to figure out if my scale at hme was weighing correctly and it is about 2 pounds off.

Johnny and I went to the Viera pro-health todayfor a swim level assessment. He needs to learn how to swim and we haven't been able to get him into lessons yet. So, he was looking afraid, chewing his nails, and when the trainer (his term) asked him to blow bubbles in the water he had a hard time doing it. There was no crying though and he followed all the directions. The trainer dunked him, and he was ok. He was listed at level 1 and I asked if we could do private lessons. So we are on the right track there.

We went back to the family swim for an hour and a half after a productive trip to Target. Johnny and I had a great time, however I didn't much sustained working out done because I had to watch him. He didn't want to wear a life vest any more. He started to put his face in the water and swim!!!!! I was so proud of him!!!!!!!! He freaked me out at the end of the time because he started lying face down in the water and not moving - I thought he was drowning but he was practicing!!!

My weight today was 285.

Went to water aerobics today at 10:30. The instructor didn't seem very happy to be there and we kept doing the same things over and over. I did keep moving for the whole class, and then walked for 10 minutes in the water afterwards.

I keep weighing myself every day before and after exercise hoping to see a huge loss... my brain is seeking something unreal and I need to stay focused on exercising.

Bought soem exercise clothes that fit and look good. Half the battle.

I decided to do water aerobics today at 10:00 am. Johnny went with me to go to the kids area. I realized after 5 minutes how much of a full body workout I was getting. We did 30 minutes of non-stop full body cardio aerobics then 15 minutes of strength training with dumbells. Then 5 minutes of stretch. My arms are very heavy and sore. I know it is hard work and I will make it through and exercise tomorrow.

We went to Pro-health today for the first time in a long time. I walked 4 laps around the indoor track with David and then we went on treadmills. I walked for 30 minutes at between a 2.5 to 3 incline and between 2.7 to 3.0 mph. It was a lot to do the first day back buut David was walking next to me so I get competitive. He burned a few more calories but I did a set of machines afterwords that he didn't do.

weight at Prohealth 288 weight at home 296 - I like the pro-health scale better
