Day 40

It's Weigh In Day!  YAY!  Was awake to get ready for the gym this morning at 7am and it was pretty slow moving this morning.  My right leg is a little bit sore from the eliptical yesterday and therefore when I was coming down the stairs, I had to take it really easy so I wouldn't fall down the stairs.  However, I made it to the basement just fine, turned on the wii and jumped onto the balance board.  I wound up hitting 251.5 lbs!  To date, total weight loss is 12.5 lbs lost!!

Once finished doing the "wahoo dance" in the basement, I went upstairs and got ready to go to the gym.  I came down to the kitchen and realized that Jan had left the car keys and registration on the counter and I thought I would drive to work but then stuff happened that I don't feel like sharing at this point and I wound up walking to the gym.  I got there at 8:40 and at this time Nikki had finally texted me back and was on her way.  We met at the esso to have a bite to eat and then headed over.

I first used the hamstring machine and stretched each leg for 1 min and then putting my right ankle on my left knee and stretching that way on each leg for a min as well.  Then I moved over to the flexibility machine and stretched each leg for a min each and grabbed the 7.5lb barbells.  Sitting on the edge of a bench I did 10 side arm lifts and 10 curlups and then switched to the 5 lb barbell and repeated.  By this time, my legs were ready to hit the treadmill.

I started off on the treadmill at a 12 incline and 2.0 speed for four minutes and then slowly dropped the incline by .5 every minute until I reached 7 incline.  From there, I tried going for two min and again dropping the incline down .5 every time.  Once I hit a 4 incline I had a small little break and then hit the incline up to 4.5 and the speed to 2.1.  For every 30 sec I upped the incline by .5 and got the speed up to 2.4.  By the end of my 30 min, I was at a 9 incline and 2.4 speed.  Not to mention the fact that I had burned about 281 calories in 35 min.

Once finished with the treadmill I was still feeling pretty good and went over to the eliptical for a bit.  I did 12 min on there, which I wanted to do at least 15 but, I went longer than yesterday so it's all good.

From there I went over to the rope railing and did the cross body stretch on each arm, went to the rope pulley and lifted 50lbs with each arm 10 times, and then the split rope I pulled 50 lbs down 10 times and then repeated the cross body stretch on each arm.

Finally we decided to get some more stretching in so I got down on the mat and stretched my legs out with my right foot against my left thigh and leaning forward, repeating on the other leg and then with both legs extended bent forward a little bit to stretch the back.  Then laying down on the mat I pointed my toes across the gym and reached above my head and held on for about 30 seconds and then did the spinal extension on each leg for about 30 sec.

It was an awesome workout and we wound up staying for an hour and a half!  In total, with my walk and workout, I did 2 hours and 10 min today!  YAY!

Tomorrow is my session with Jeremy and Jenn is coming to work out while I see Jeremy and then we will be coming back here to chillax and other things.  It should be a groovey day!  I will more than most likely post roughly around 1pm tomorrow :)
