so far, so good...i'm doing great with my workout and even enjoying it! but now i must confess that i was very glad that the cardio room i choose to use was relatively empty today because i had an awful case of gas and just couldn't help passing it nearly the whole time i was walking on the treadmill! apparently all that walking i was doing did a great job of moving things around in my stomach and intestines and such! i also nearly fell off the treadmill a couple times while i was laughing at the podcast of yesterday mornings ace & tj show...the people who were in the room around me probably thought i was some kind of nutcase!
so, it was another great workout day and i'll be heading back tomorrow for more!
workout: 60minutes on treadmill at various inclines and speeds
eating: pretty well, i've accpeted the fact that as long as there are homemade tollhouse cookies around, i'm going to eat them!
water: equal to my body weight again...or atleast feels that way!

made it through day 2!
well, it's day 2 of my new workout plan and i actually have developed some kind of plan to follow! i didn't make it to the y after dropping off stephen, but i did go a couple hours later and got in another good workout while jordan played in the child care. i worked out for a little more than an hour on the stationary bike and elliptical...my butt is not very happy with me or the seat on the bike that i chose to ride!
so i figured since i really like cardio more than anything else i would stick to that at least for a few weeks to see how i do. my plan is to do the bike and elliptical mon, wed, and fri...then i'll just walk on the treadmill on tues and thurs. that would make me workout a little more 3 days of the week and hopefully improve my backside a bit in the process! today was good with the bike but i'm going to have to figure out how to make the seat more comfortable since the only sore part i have now is from the seat! i really like the elliptical, too but can't ever manage to use the ones with the moving handles without looking like a spazz! so i generally steer clear of those unless they're the only choice!
tomorrow i'll try going later in the afternoon, i was told that between 12-3 it's pretty much empty. my plan is to go around 1:30, workout, shower and then go straight to get stephen after school...don't know if that'll work but i'm gonna try! i'm not really much into locker room showering, but whatever...i'm a big girl now so i should get over some of my old hang-ups!
i had a good exercise day, but again not so good eating...those darn cookies and busy night with soccer and cub scouts just didn't feel like cooking healthy!
workout--45 minutes on stationary bike and 25 minutes on elliptical
water--drank what feels like my own body weight!
eating--not so good...no pop tarts, but couple chocolate chip cookies and waffle fries from chick fil a! can't beat myself up though since it really doesn't do any good!
tomorrow is treadmill walking for an hour. the kids cooperated enough for me to get a good nap in today, hope i can get one tomorrow, too if i need it!

day 1 of new workout plan!
we joined the ymca as a family yesterday and today i started on my exercise plan! it's not really a plan yet, but it will be...right now it's just me going and using the cardio machines in no particular order for about an hour. today was a good enough workout to make me sweat and turn my face all red (that's my criteria for a good workout). i plan on going everyday during the week after i drop my son off at school...that may change if it's too crowded at that time of the morning. my daughter went with me today and loved the child care area so she'll be fine with me going everyday which really is a good thing.
i've been on weight watchers, for the third time, since mid july and i've not been happy with the results so far. so joining the y seems like the perfect thing for me and will hopefully jumpstart a better loss pattern...if there is such a thing! so i'm starting this blog to keep myself more accountable for workouts, eating, and all things related to that. i can already tell that today will be a bad eating day, but a good workout one!
Workout: 21 minutes on treadmill; 35 minutes on elliptical
Eating: I had pop tarts for breakfast (i just can't break that habit) and will be eating some of the chocolate chip cookies that my husband insisted that i bake!
Drinking: not enough water and too much coke zero...but it's zero calories so i don't really consider it a bad thing!
I felt a migraine coming on so i've been drinking lots of caffeinated beverages to try to help...it's worked but don't know if i'll get to sleep tonight!
my legs aren't too sore so bring on more exercise! can't wait for tomorrow...and i don't normally say that about exercise, as time goes on that will become very evident!
