April 18 2013

Gym again today. I am really pushing my cardio. Trying to anyway.

I did 10 mins on the bike. 30 mins on machines and free weights. 12 mins on the crosstrainer. 5 mins on the stepper. 10 mins on the treadmill.

I was kinda tired after.

My wee bro works as a trainer and looked over my programme. He says it is ok.

He is staying in my house tonight and tomoro. I am going to Donegal tomoro so will have to do my blog before I go. Or when I come home. Do u mind if its late? Does anyone even read this?

I packed my bag for Donegal. It's a carry on size rucksack. And it's full! For one night! All cos I need to bring a dressing gown!

It's gonna be my first night away from R since we got married. In fact my first night away from him in three years. :-(

Do u spend nights away from ur partner?

How do u cope?

I am so tired tonight. I went to the gym again today and having decided I really want to go for it during this biggest loser time I upped my weights, and my time on bike, crosstrainer and treadmill. Only to 11 mins each but the difference is really being felt in my muscles tonight!

I just want to win. Is that so bad.

But I also want to eat chips and chicken goujons! So I did!

Just don't tell the girls at the gym haha.

I went to my tutorial today too for my last assignment before the exam. I still don't like the course. But sure I will finish it!

Baby girl is away out again. She is becoming a real party animal. But she'd is only young. So that's the way she should be!

April 15 2013

I went to the gym after work. I have lost another five lbs. that's pretty good going.

This weight loss thing is going slowly,but it is coming off. It's hard work tho. I slog my guts out when I go to the gym and come home sweaty and sore.

I am up to 30 mins cardio and 30 mins weights now.

Considering when I started I couldn't do 10 mins cardio I am doing okay.

I wanna push myself more now. I wannabe doing 45 cardio by the end of next week.

Two weeks for an additional 15 mins. 5 mins extra on each of the bike, crosstrainer and treadmill. I think I can do it. It will be sore tho.

I entered the biggest loser in my gym I want to win.

But it is a win/win thing anyway.

If I win the competition that's great.

If I don't win I will still have lost weight so that's great too.

I am tired tonight tho.

Early night I feel.

Catch u on the flip side.

I am so wrecked tonight. I really don't have the energy even to type. However I have done this daily so far I wanna stick at it and see how far into this #365 project I can go.

Today I think I might have overdosed a little at the gym. I went this morning and really pushed it. I worked so hard on the crosstrainer then one of the girls asked if I wanted to do Tone and Core. Well, who am I to say no? So I did that.

Then I walked up to work. Walked home. And was so tired I fell asleep for a couple of hours.

Then I got up and went to the gym again with baby girls cousin S. It was her first time there. I probably shouldn't have signed her up for the hardest class first. :-)

Legs, Bums and Tums.

Oh my giddy aunt

It kills

The amount of squats I did today would make a gymnast sore! I don't like them. I appreciate I need to do them tho.

I came home and was so tired I made R go to the chippy for dinner.

We all watched Monsters Inc and now it's bedtime.

My legs are sore.

So it seems I forgot to post yesterday, today being the 5th.

Sorry about that.

I went to the gym again. I did my workout, with the extra minutes on the stepper and crosstrainer. Then I did the Zumba class.

The first time I did the Zumba class I thought I was going to die. Now, I am not saying it was easy this time round, but it wasn't as difficult. I really think this is working.

My fitness levels are going up. I am still no Jane Fonda. In fact I am nowhere near fit even. But I am getting there.

It did tire me out tho.

I have went to the gym Saturday, Sunday, then Monday. I am tired. I came home from the gym Monday and thankfully baby girl had made dinner. As soon as I ate I was ready for bed. But me and R watched TV for a bit. Then went to bed. I slept from ten o'clock right thru.

I guess that's why I forgot to post yesterday.

Hope your day was a good one.

Today I went to the gym. I did seven minutes on the stepper. Now. I know that doesn't sound great. But four weeks ago my legs were killing me and my heart was racing after two minutes.

I did seven minutes on the crosstrainer too. Again, four weeks ago I managed two and had legs like jelly.

I also ran on the treadmill. Admittedly only for a minute. But it was actual running. Well jogging. I did ten minutes fast walking too.

Overall I am very pleased with myself. I have tried hard over the past four weeks. I have a way to go BUT I am getting there.

I also went and did some bag packing for a local charity. Four and a half hours standing packing other people's bags. Some people were luvly. Some not so luvly.

Overall it was a great day.
