January 2009 Exercise Challenge

[luluc 6]

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

i admire you jacqui pushing yourself like that - unfortunately i need my trainer to do that to me ..... our gym's prices are going up and it's becoming a budget buster.

our trainer is opening up a sports rehab clinic in april - and DH and i decided to finish out our purchased sessions then pay him directly (vs gym) to train us at the house. it will be half the cost & i really can't give him up just yet:tongue:

got clearance to workout - nothing more than 10lbs for a month.

today - wii yoga...snow/ice out, will try to get to gym w/hubby later in the day for cardio

Today: No work-outs.

The dentist says my root canal has a bad infection, so I am now on a high dose of a different antibiotic. Let's hope it works.

Today: Night off. Taking vicodin for the root-canal infection. But it does actually feel better and it appears to be less swollen.

I am so back on the treadmill tomorrow. Thank goodness the weekend is almost here!:thumbup:

47 min. on stationary bike. It said some enormous miles but the levels were off. I was way higher than I normally go and it claimed my heart rate never went over 112. So something was messed up.

Been off the board for a week now. My mom broke her leg down in IA and I went down from Saturday until Wed to help her out as she has never broken a bone in her body and I have.

So, to update:

Friday: Hit the chiropractor before I found out about my mom. Not able to work out.

Saturday and Sunday: In IA helping out mom. Forgot running shoes so had to buy some new ones on Sunday.

Monday: Hit the Golds Gym in W. Des Moines in the am for upper body and cardio. Ran 2 miles/18:17 minutes after the workout and 35 minutes on elliptical. Went back in the pm to do another 2 miles/20 minutes and 35 minutes on elliptical.

Tuesday: Went in the pm for leg workout and cardio. 2.5 mile/25 minute run followed by 35 minutes on elliptical.

Wed: nothing, drove back home.

Thurs: am-legs really sore due to not lifting w/legs for about 2 wks. Managed 35 minutes on ellilptical and 1.25 mile/12 minute run on treadmill. Then, SWAT training during the day, no lifting.

Today: 4.25 mile/41:30 minute run followed by 15 minutes on elliptical. Into the gym tonight for upper body.

Haven't updated in a few days, so here I go.

Tuesday - Wii Fit step aerobics - 30 min. (not a great workout, but hey, I moved)

Wednesday - 30 min treadmill, 15 min upper body strength, 15 min elliptical

Thursday - 15 min treadmill, 15 min lower body strength, 30 min elliptical

Today - I am taking off this afternoon and going to the gym and staying for a while. I need to push myself, and make up for the fact that I won't be going tomorrow since my daughter has both a dress rehearsal and dance performance.

Woo hoo - made it through January! Appt next week for a potential fill and to see how I officially did. Hoping for a small break from the plateau.
