day 142 (day 2 / week 21)

Today is my strength training day (from sparkpeople) so I decided to exercise at home instead of walking with Logan (which I might do later anyway) or jog/walking by myself.

I did Turbo Jam's 20 Minute Workout and Ab Jam for my cardio, and this for my strength training (using a 5# hand weight):

Crunches with a twist -- 2 sets / 15 reps
Back extension -- 2 sets / 15 reps
One-arm dumbbell rows -- 2 sets / 15 reps
seated dumbbell concentration curls -- 2 sets / 15 reps
lying adduction -- 2 sets / 15 reps
standing adduction -- 2 sets / 15 reps

I did a little math yesterday and am excited! I am losing on average about 1 lb a week, so by the time Jan 1, 2010 rolls around, I should be around the 160's! That is amazing to me because it will be a total of 80 lbs that I have lost total. When I reach 190 lbs (I'm 5 lbs away!!), I will have lost a total of 50 lbs since Jan 2007 but 25 lbs of it will be lost from Jan 1, 2009--the start of this blog. Hope that's not confusing! I don't really count my weight loss before this blog, because that was in the past, and I am trying to move forward. Besides, it doesn't seem fair to my blog to count that lol (cause I didn't lose it in 2009). :)

Hope everyone has an awesome 3 day weekend! My MIL signed us up to do some artsy stuff at church tonight, so I'm excited! I think I will be painting a bowl so my mind is busy thinking of all the stuff I can do with it (I'm an abstract kinda gal :)). Spending time with my MIL, using God given talents, with other like minded people, in His presence, is such a blessing! I can't believe He chose me to be the artsy-fartsy type! He has blessed me with so many talents, it's just amazing to me :). I wish I could find a job doing something artistic...a gal can dream! I'll post a picture of it tomorrow, when it's done! Should be lots of fun! :) :)

Make today count!

I can do this. I am a star.
