Did an extra 30 min Wii Fit step aerobics tonight to make up for dinner out last night. I was good, but not that good.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend.

Saturday and Sunday- nothing

Today-

5 miles on treadmill (ran the first 3.5 miles and did intervals for the rest)

30 minutes strength training (arms)

DH is going to the gym tonight, so I will probably end up going with him and doing some sort of cardio again (probably either walking or stairmaster)

Lol, I modified the outdoor circuit today - I did my squats, lunges and 300 metre runs with Eliza on my back - she's about 50lb give or take and six so old enough to hang on.

I did less, naturally, it was quite intense to say the least.

Whew. I cant afford a personal trainer, but where there's a will there's a way hey?

its going to be above 40 degrees celcius here for the next four days - I was lucky to get in this morning before it started heating up but it wont be so cool tomorrow morning. I think I'll be running on my treadmill and/or maybe do a step or spin class or two at the gym for the next few days as its not even supposed to cool down below 25 degrees overnight.

47 min on treadmill. 3.33 miles (slightly over 5k for you metric folk). I ran 38 minutes of it too. Whee!

6 miles last night

Weight lifting and spin class this morning

Jachut -- sounds like Bikini Weather!

For Americans 40c = 104F (its the Bristish coming out in me)

You could come to Wisconsin..Its -40F which is -40C (thats when the two scales cross over)

Thanks Whosya!

45 minutes of strength training (legs and abs)

Monday - 15 min treadmill, 15 min lower body strength, 30 min elliptical.

I must learn to be more assertive at the gym in the strength training area - all I have to do is say "Can I work in with you?" but I keep either lurking or skipping machines altogether. Bad habit.

Today - no gym - I have a meeting this evening. Thought I'd try the Wii Fit aerobics again instead.

[MacMadame 81]

Stationary Bike, 45 min. 9.5 miles. I'm still trying to get 10 miles in 45 min. but it's not happening.

[TQUAD64 9]

Today: 60 treadmill 4% incline 3.33 miles jogging and power walk mix.

Tomorrow morning back to the dentist to see why my gums are infected in area of the root-canal. Son-of-a-gun still hurts.
