Feb. 20th

--Cardio Treadmill 32 min. Did 2 more sets at 10% incline of 5 min. each

I think Brent and I are going to go back together tonight for a weight workout.

Feb. 19th

--Cardio 30 min. including warm up and cool down

--Weight workout--chest and bicpes

Feb. 18th

--Cardio, 30 min on Treadmill. W/in the 30 min, I did 2 5 min. sessions at 10% incline. That burned, and it felt like my heart might leap out of my chest....you know, in a good way,I suppose!

Feb. 15th

--warm up, 8 min on treadmill

--heavy weight workout tonight. We missed a couple days of weights, so we tried to catch up. We did shoulders, legs, and abs, all around. Too wasted to do cardio after that.


Weighed in tonight, against my better judgment, Brent was weighing in, so I decided to also, even though I had decided to do only every other Friday. Well, I'm glad I did weigh in! I am down 3 more pounds! Official weight is 296.5. YAY! Something I'm doing is working. I just wish it was the in-n-out burger I had this week. But I have a sneaking suspicion that wasn't it. bummer.

Feb. 13th

--Cardio-treadmill 35 min. total including warm up and cool down, alternating inclines and speed.

--weight workout, tri's and back

Feb. 11th

--Cardio, Treadmill--30 min. total, alternating between 2.5 mph@ 7% incline and 3.0 mph @ 3.5% incline

--Weight workout, chest and biceps


felt good to be there with Brent. But I was bad today. I had In-n-Out for lunch with Tami and the kids. but that is life, right? so I had limited calories the rest of the day.

Feb. 8th

--Treadmill total 30 min. alternating, again...

--Weight workout, legs and abs

I decided to weigh in tonight. I haven't weighed in for 2 weeks, I was really nervous, but I lost 4 pounds!! Which also means, I'm under 300! I weighed in at 299.5. It felt great to not see 300-anything! I never want to go back there again! So, this is working, slow as it may be. The lesson I have learned so far is that the more strict I am with my food and calories, the more I'll lose. It's been hard to stay disciplined, and I'll have to admit, I haven't been counting every single calorie, mostly ballparking it. which leads to this thought process "well, I have about 300 calories left (when I really only would have 260) so I can have that!" multiply that times 3 or 4 times a day, and I go way over. so I really need to start being diligent about being honest with myself about what I am actually putting in my body. I also haven't been getting quite enough water everyday....so I have alot of things to work on...but I'm definitely on my way!

Feb. 7th

--Treadmill 30 min. total including warm up and cool down alternating every 5 minutes with 2.6 mph @ 7% incline--and 3.o mph @ 3.5% incline

--Upper body weight workout, some back, chest, tri's, and a couple leg machines.


one thing I noticed today...exercising makes my cramps go away...for a little bit anyway. That was an unexpected pleasant surprise!

Feb. 5th

--Warm up Treadmill, 10+ min.

--weight workout, shoulders and abs...

--Cardio, Treadmill 17 min. 2.5 mph @ 7 % incline


The abs workout made me feel like I was going to throw up...but the good side is that I felt no neck pain this time!!! So I think I'm cleared to start back up with my regularly scheduled workout routine! It was kinda hard to get back into it, and i took alot of my frustrations out on Brent (what a wonderful man he is....he loves me even when I yell at him at the gym for trying to motivate me). I love you Brent, I'm sorry!! Back in the saddle again.

Feb. 3rd

--Cardio, Treadmill 30 min. back and forth from 2.6 mph @ 7% incline & 3.2 mph @ 3.5% incline.


Felt good to get back into it today...but then I pigged out a little too much at the Superbowl party on some artichoke-spinach-parmesan dip w/ baguette slices....

a weird week....

It's been just that. It's been hard to get to the gym, for both Brent and me. With Judah being sick and not able to go into the kids care, and me with the whiplash and a semi-stiff neck still, I haven't been to the gym as much as I'd have liked to. We were supposed to have our weigh in last night, but once we found Judah a babysitter ( thank you John and Christy), we both realized we'd rather go on a date instead of going to the gym. So I think we'll either skip weigh in this week, or do it separately today when we go to the gym by ourselves today.

We'll be back on track on some point....I swear!
