Life is good - The scale is steadily moving down, although the 2nd time around trying to lose this is a lot SLOWER. I'm losing a steady 1 pound per week, I wish it was more, but I am just glad the scale is moving down!

 

I had a great workout last night, was in the gym about an hour and 1/2. I did 45 min cardio and about 3o to 45 min on the weights, worked my biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, and chest. Did a total of 45 on the elliptical. I am doing circuit training these days. Below is about how I do my circuit training:

 

15 min - Elliptical (I get my heartbeat up)

Jump off Elliptical - did some Pectorial Flys (works the chest) 3 sets and then jumped on the tricep machine and did another 3 sets.

 

Jumped back on the Elliptical machine - for another 10 minutes - to get my heartbeat back up

 

Jumped off and worked my biceps (did curls) and shoulders (a killer workout)

 

Jumped back on my elliptical, this time I did 20 minutes = a total of 45 minutes

 

Finished the evening working my back.........

 

I figured out I burned around 550 to 600 calories last night - 450 just on the elliptical machine - I love the elliptical machine!

I wish I could do the elliptical more but it makes my left foot hurt. Weird I know but I just stick with the treadmill for now.

How is your foot?

great food choices!!

Foot is doing better - doesn't hurt as much, but still black and blue and swollen - werid. I think I must of popped a blood vessel or something and my foot has swollen upwith blood?

I think you should stick with whatever works for you - It seems for me, the treadmill pounds on my knees too much and I get off in a lot of pain. The elliptical is easy on my knees I think.
