Looks like today has been a pretty good day so far. It is official that I have made it 1 complete day smoke free! Yay! This morning Julia and Shelley came over to do a makeup makeover for me, compliments of Melanie. It was fun, got a lot of new tools and makeup and it seems like I will be doing things a little differently from now on.
Once we were done, Julia gave me a ride over to the Esso by the gym where I grabbed myself a coffee, read my ereader for a little bit and then headed over to the gym. I changed my shoes and headed up to the ladies only room. I did 12 forward weight lifts, 12 the other way and 12 trunk rotations on each arm. I rested for a min and then went right back into it.
I decided that I was going to try and do as much as I possibly could. I went over to the eliptical and put it on a level 4 and cruised for about 15 min burning 147 calories. I wasn't quite ready to leave and went on to do the treadmill starting at a 2.9 speed and a 2.5 incline. After a min I increased the speed to a 4.2 for a min and then alternated this for about 5 min. I then wound up decreasing the speed of my walk just a little bit to a 2.5 but continued the jog where it was. I burned 188 calories in 30 min here and went over to the bike.
I had every intention of only doing 15 min on the bike, but as soon as I hit that 15 min mark, I didn't quite feel like I had done anything so I went for another 30 min. I alternated the levels here as well in between an 8 and a 4. By the time I was done, I wound up burning 164 calories here. I figured that was enough for the gym today because Jan and I are planning on going for a walk later on this evening after supper and I wanted to make sure that I was still able to go.
When I got home, I wound up doing my stretches, with the addition of 20 ab crunches and I held the plank for 50.24 seconds. This is the longest that I have been able to hold it so far so I am fairly pleased with that. I think when we get back from our walk I will be doing the stretches one more time and this time I will try the plank, ab crunches and pushups as well. Just to get a little bit extra in. I am not sure what is going on or even how the scale will read tomorrow but, as I have been sort of watching it in the week it doesn't look good. Hopefully the numbers are good tomorrow otherwise I may have to kick some butt this week. My own, but well worth it! :)
Other than that, I am very excited to be going to my session on Wednesday with Jeremy. I have missed him and his evilness. I am hoping he pushes me hard and gives me the workout that will give me the good numbers I want for next week. I will be heading to the gym tomorrow again for awhile, not 1 1/2 hours like today but probably an hour because I will have to walk home when I am finished. Here's hoping everyone has a great day! :)
