Totally forgot to post today. I got on the elliptical twice today for a total of 70 minutes. First thing after waking up for 20 minutes, and then for a second time, later in the morning, for and additional 50 minutes.
I've been on track with my food as well. Not sure where the sudden motivation came from lol.
One day at a time. One choice at a time.
I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.
Today I did the same thing as yesterday. I got onto the elliptical first thing this morning for 30 minutes before dropping the kid off at school. I just got off the elliptical for the second time today for an additional 40 minutes. I also completed my 10000 step goal which is something that I want to be more diligent about doing.
One day at a time. When you have time. I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.
I got onto the elliptical for 30 minutes this morning, first thing after waking up, and I just got off again for an additional 40 minutes. I feel much better about how things went today. It really is all about the choices that we make in every moment (at least for me). I keep seeing videos of this woman jumping around and doing all these plyometrics and calisthenics and stuff and it looks like so much fun. I hope I can do those things again. I know it'll take time but with good choices I'll get there again.
One day at a time. Once we set a time. I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.
When I woke up this morning I got on to my elliptical for 30 minutes.
Last night I promised myself that I would pull out some of my exercise DVDs and I did. I did the 20 minute Turbo Jam workout, in my dress and all lol. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be so I can't use that as an excuse anymore.
I also did an additional 20 mins on the elliptical before bed to boost my step count to 10K.
I have several apps on my phone to help keep myself accountable. I use my Fitbit MyFitnessPal, RunKeeper and of course SparkPeople. I decided to play around with my RunKeeper and I created a training program and I set myself up to exercise everyday at 6:05 a.m. RunKeeper is primarily for running/walking and has a built in GPS mode so you can see a map of where you have gone, but you can use the stopwatch mode which is for like indoor or treadmill. I use the stopwatch mode to track my elliptical training and I can add anything else to it. It's linked to my SparkPeople so all of my exercise that I log into RunKeeper also gets tracked there as well. The same goes with my Fitbit. RunKeeper also crosses over to Fitbit so I just have to be careful not to double track everything or it'll give me false data. At this point I don't do much with my data, but I like knowing that it's there lol.
Of course the best part about all of apps are that they are free :-).

Today I got off to an early start, and then the procrastination bug hit me.
I got out at about 6:30 this morning and walked for a while (45 mins including my cool down) and then later on did my quickfire challenges:
Side Lunge with Windmill Arms--100 in sets of 25
Seated Leg Extensions--100 in sets of 20
and I added in some...
Squats--100 in sets of 25
Doing these 3 things took me about 25 minutes with a little bit of rest in between them.
(I took the picture to ask my hubby which shirt he liked better--this is the one he chose)Today was a late day for exercise, but I was able to get my hubby to come with me :). We walked slower than I usually do when I take the Monkey Boy walking, but I was happy to have him with me :). We walked a total of 3.36 miles, in 2 batches. The first was 2.30 miles in 45 minutes, and then on the way home, we went a different way which was exactly 1 mile and it took us 25 minutes.
There is a water park that we walked to today--it's a kiddie park and it has this section that has water squirting out of the sidewalk and it has rain falls and such squirting out of these really big upside down fish hook looking things. It's not like a typical water park that you (I) normally think of with "water park" (like wet-n-wild) but a park with water stuff :). We probably could have taken 5 minutes off of our route, both ways, because of the traffic lights that we had to wait for, but it's all good :). I'm just so happy that my hubby came with me, and that our son had fun, although it took him a good 1/2 hr to not run away from water spray lol.
I can't wait to go again :). This time I will come better prepared for fun in the water lol.
I hope everyone has a great weekend :).
Make it count!
I can do this. I am a star.
