Thursday workout with result

Thursday I did this workout and apparently did not do a couple of exercises correctly (squats and incline dumbbell curls). 1. I am glad I am doing them correctly and 2. my butt/legs/arms got a good work out because I am still hurting after 2 days. I nearly fell down when I went to stand up at work after sitting for 2 hours.

yesterday and today

getting late so I am not detailing any. I did the first two workouts and tomorrow is a cardio day, as long as it is not raining I am going to see how many laps I can do at the school's track......The contestants had to do a mini marathon (13 miles) and the used a school's track, this is what inspiring me to do this. I am pushing for 5 laps of walking but hoping for a lot more....

I will check in later.

Update on physical changes

Unfortunately, there has only been a few changes to my body. I have maintained my weight at 181 lbs, few less or plus...normal. But I am most proud of is my biceps and hamstrings. My goal is to have Jillian Michaels arms, I love her arms but she scares the living day light out of me. OH my hamstrings, I actually can feel the different muscle, and I am so amazed. Believe or not I used to be a gymnast and I didn't have muscles like I do now. I am trying to get the calories under control too. I really need to start counting and losing.

Thats my update.
I will take a pic, hopefully this weekend.

Keep moving, smiling, and reading

4th day Wednesday

Well, today I got my goal. I am a HUGE fan of Twilight Saga....I finally decided to open a twitter account and looked up the people from Twilight. I can only hope that these are the real ones...I know, good luck. But, I received an email from Twitter stating that Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen, my fav) is now a follower of mine. He is my first follower, so I nearly screamed when I got this. So, this is giving me motivation. Because, who wants a HOT guy view your blog,twitter, and see that I have NOT made any progress.

So my motivation is Kellen looking at my twitter/blog.
goal: to meet in person Kellan

Really!! A 3rd attempt

Damn it! this is the 3rd attempt at losing the weight. I have no motivation, just a simple goal that really doesn't matter at the moment. Yesterday day, I walked a trail in the woods and did it at a speed better than a stroll (actually, I would try to jog up the steps when I came across them). I got my heart rate up and started to sweat, but I completed 3 laps were about a mile long. I wanted to do more but my knees were starting to give out. I did have my 2 youngest (14 and 16) with me and I was amazed that they were running the course. Yeah I know they are young and should be able to handle it. But I never see them run around outside anymore.

Anyway: Meals, were not too good. I know I ate more than my calorie intake should be but trying this week.

Activity: Hiking for about 45 minutes.

Music: Hey Monday
