Big Day!

I actually ran a full mile with no walking!
It was a treadmill day cus it's so cold outside.

¼ Mile walking
1 Full, Complete, Total, Entire MILE RUNNING
¼ Mile walking
¼ Mile (more) RUNNING :0)
¼ Mile walking

2 Miles total

I know it seems small...but it was a big day for me :0)

Oh My Goodness!!! 3 days

Ok... so it's called an ArcTrainer, and I really love it. The program that I did today worked in intervals. Warm up, intense / recovery (repeat), cool down.
30 minutes
349 calories
Then I got on the recumbant bike for another 10 minutes and killed another 60 caloies.
Not bad for today's work :0)

2 days in a Row!!!

I know... hold your hat! Monday AND Tuesday. Maybe I've started a roll :0)
Anyway...
I went the 2 mile route that Kathy gave me from my house up and out to 102nd, up Yorkshire to 98th, down to 40th, back to 102nd and use Dobbin back to my house. 2 miles.
So I...
Walked all the way to Yorkshire.
Ran all of Yorkshire.
Walked 98th.
Ran all of 40th. and
Walked the rest of the way home.
So while I was doing it I thought that I was running so much ... I was sure that it was more than I had done before... so I hop in my car when I get home to check the distance and realized that Yorkshire and 40th are 0.5 miles each and I ran only about as much as I had done on the treadmill. (a little bit of a let down)
BUT still I did it.

As Promised

Well I procrastinated it till the last possible moment...but I did workout today!!! So I went to the gym tonight and spent 20 minutes on this strange machine that I really liked. It's not an eliptical, but that is as close as I can come to describing it. It is the motion of running... all the bouncing of running (lucky me) but no impact. So I spent 20 minutes and burned 200 calories. I was wasted after those 20 minutes but did a couple of laps around the track and called it a night.

Long time no Work outs

So...Hi there!
I know, I know, I know! I have slacked in the worst possible sense. I really want to follow that statement with a BUT ... but I have no excuse for last weeks behavior. Or of Monday's behavior for that matter.
I did however get back on the horse (as it were) today. As ALWAYS I spent my Tuesday evening watching The Biggest Loser. I am a total addict. Anyway... I decided that I would use that 2 hour block to get my workout in. So during every Commercial break I was stepping and sweating on the BOSU ball. All in all I put in about a half an hour in short spurts. It really had me sweating and breathing hard. I have no idea how many calories it burned but I feel pretty good about it.

Also on the food front. I have made some progress there. I have been successful for the last few days (it may actually be a week) in not eating after 7 p.m. I am really realizing how many calories I was eating just before I was going to bed. Just in time for them to distribute themselves equally across my backside :0) So I really feel good about that. My next hurdle with food is choosing good (healthy) choices for the hours that I do eat.
