Day 219

Ok so today was the ultimate lazy day for me.  However, I did have a fairly healthy breakfast, and a healthy supper so it all works out in the end.  I was up at 6:45am to give Jan a ride to the LRT and then the plan was to take the car to the gym and get a good workout in, but, of course, I came home and stayed here.  LOL

I gave sara a ride home, came home myself, had some supper, and then I was off once again to the gym.  I walked in the front door, waited in line to scan my card in, and lo and behold, I was greeted by Jeremy.  He asked me if I was training today, silly boy, and then told me to have a good workout lol.

I quickly changed my shoes and headed straight upstairs to the ladies only room.  I decided today that I would get on that eliptical and try my hardest to beat my sister-in-laws calorie burn of 300 calories in 30 min.  Even though I was successful and did go 30 min on that eliptical without stopping,  I didn't quite catch her.  I burned 273 calories in the 30 min but, I was still pretty proud of that.

When I got off of the eliptical, my calves were still pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted to come home.  I had my coffee from the pit stop at McDonalds (I only had coffee) and started on my stretches. 

I laid on the mat, brought my hands above my head and reached as far as I could while pointing my toes the other direction.  I held it for 30 seconds and immediately went into ab crunches.  I did 25 of those and then took a quick rest.  I put my right foot on my left knee and brought my leg towards my chest, held for another 30 seconds, and then went straight into another 25 ab crunches.  I did the other side and repeated the ab crunches.  I then grabbed my right leg and brought it across my body into another stretch and then 25 more ab crunches.  Did the other side and you guessed it, another 25 ab crunches.  When I was finished with these I though, hmmm, maybe I will try the plank.

I rolled over and held the plank for 30 seconds, rested and tried it again.  I usually can only manage a few seconds the second time that I attempt to the plank because usually it really bothers my back.  I wound up doing it for another 33 seconds!  All in all, I'm pretty happy with the workout today.  I think I did a pretty good job and I can't wait for weigh in on Sunday.  I am hoping to get under that 200lb mark and I am pretty sure I can do it this week!  It would be really cool if the numbers show a -4 or -5 but I will be happy if I lose anything at all.  :)

Tomorrow is the next personal workout at the gym and maybe I may wind up doing a bit more when I get home.  So sorry it's up so late guys, but, at least it's up!  :)
