The morning after Day Three....

Well, here it is...the morning after Day Three of my exercise program at the gym....

       

I am going to use these cute little dancing cows to count down my days!  Aren't they adorable!?

Well, I did thirty eight minutes yesterday, which is more than I have done so far!  I did 27 on the treadmill, 6 on the bike at 80 rpm's (which Kelly says is GREAT! lol!), and five on that horrible, terrible eliptical stairstepper!

My trainer says that the fact that I can't stand that machine makes it my dragon....and not a cute little dragon, like this:

but a mean, scary one like this!!! 

I guess he's right.  I can't stand to get on that stupid machine!  I did three minutes on it the first day, NO minutes on it the second day, and managed FIVE on it the third day... whereas I am doing 25 and 27 on the treadmill!  But he says that just doing the treadmill won't do as much good as getting on the eliptical stair thing...so I guess I just have to face the dragon, like it or not!

You have no way of knowing how proud of myself I am just for doing this! 

This is really just not me!  But I am doing it!  Every day, I am doing it!  That makes me feel really good! 

Well, I don't get to weigh again until Monday, and that sucks, cause I want to know if I have lost any weight already!  Lol!  Instant gratification....a curse to my generation!  LOL!

Gonna go for now and get some work done!

Thanks everyone, for your supportive comments!  Ya'll are GREAT!

The Beginning!

Okay, here it is, Wednesday, September 19, 2007.  I decided on Saturday, September 15, 2007, that I am sick to death of being fat! Sick of it, I say!!!

 

So, I am going to start exercising!

Actually, I already have!  I started at the Fitness Center with a real Fitness Coach on Monday!  I have worked out for two days now!!!

Today is going to be my third day!  This is going to be my weight loss journal!  I am going to update in here about what is going on with my weight loss and my exercising!  First of all, let me update ya'll on the first two days....The first day, I did 6 minutes on the bike, 3 minutes on the eliptical stair stepper (with my coach beside me the whole time saying "you can do this...come on..." and counting down the time for me!  I can't help it, I WHINED!!!  It was HARD!!!!)    Then I did 6 minutes on the treadmill.  Then I quit and went home....that was HONESTLY all I could do! 

 

So I went back yesterday for my second session, and did MUCH better....still not great, but better!    I did 25 minutes on the treadmill and 5 on the bike!!!  So I did a whole 30 minutes!!!!  I was SO thrilled!  But I stayed away from the eliptical thing...it sucked!  lol! 

Well, I am going to be honest with ya'll....that's the whole purpose of a weight loss journal.  I weighed 275 exactly on Monday, September 17, 2007.  My goal is to lose 2.5 lbs a week and 10 a month....we'll see, I guess!  lol!
