Monday....been at it a week!

Hey everyone!  Well, I have been at this a week now!

Today is Monday again....and I get to weigh and see what has happened and whether this exercising thing is doing me any good.  I am worried, though....I didn't work out at all over the weekend, so what if I UNDID all my good work!?

Oh lord I am worried!!!  But I guess I will find out today....this afternoon.....after work......about 5:10 p.m.

OH!!!  Let me tell you guys what happened this weekend!!!!  Okay, I have been overweight my whole life, always....this weekend I went grocery shopping, and in the thirty minutes I was shopping, TWO people asked me if I was pregnant!!!  TWO!!!  That has NEVER happened!  I have been fat all of my life and NO ONE has EVER asked if I was pregnant!  I work out in the gym for ONE WEEK and now everyone thinks I am pregnant!?!?!?  What is up with THAT?!

*sigh*

Well, I will be on bright and early with my new weigh in tomorrow morning!

How's everyone else doing???  "Breakaway" - how did your weigh in Saturday go???

Bye!!!   

The Morning after Day Four

Well, here we are, the morning after Day Four of exercising!!!

I did forty one minutes yesterday!  My legs are SO sore today!  This is the first time I have been sore since I started!!!

                   

I did SIX MINUTES on the eliptical thingy!!!!!  SIX WHOLE MINUTES!!!!  I am SO proud of myself!  I did it first, and I thought I was gonna die...but I did it!!!   

Then I did five on the bike and thirty on the treadmill with a slight incline.  Today I am going to up my speed on the treadmill.  I have been going the same speed since I started and it is like the cool down speed!  LOL!  What can I say, I am a wuss!  But I do it for a long time! 

I won't be working out on Saturday or Sunday, I don't think.  They have aerobics class on Saturday (I think) and they ARE open on Sunday (I think), but I don't know if I want to drive ALL THE WAY here for it....it's like a forty five minute drive!  If I don't do it this weekend, then I will definitely do it next weekend, at least to say I did!

 

That's all for now!

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!
