So, I Have Issues
Hello ladies! Happy hump day! 3 down, 2 to go! This weekend and the following will be crazy busy for me...Such is the story of my life huh?!
Well, last night's work out had to be altered. The girl that was giving the butt & gut class decided not to show up but didn't have a cancellation on the door OR tell the front desk, ugh! My neighbor/WW friend went too but when there was no class I made her finish working out, I wasn't gonna skip my workout. So I did 20 minutes on the elliptical, 15 minutes on the treadmill running for 5 minutes then wogging on incline for 10 minutes. That got me all nice and sweaty. After than we did abs. We did about 250 I was going crazy in there. When we left neighbor's mom called her and she told her that I killed her in there, LMAO! I told her before we started I'm a maniac in the gym. She told her mom she'd be skinny in no time working out with me...I took it as a compliment. She texted me this afternoon and said she did the workout we did again today, WOO! I really hope this helps her WI Tuesday.
Ok, it's official! I'm a maniac in the gym. *que I'm a maniac song* I wasn't going to go to the gym at first, I got home from a program late THEN I felt blah due to the craptacular food I ate today, then my mom was on the phone saying it's too late (it was like 10pm) and I told myself "GET UP AND GO! People that really want to lose weight worked out today, people that have lost a lot of weight went to the gym even when they didn't want to. So I better get up and move it..." and I DID! How about that NSV?! Tonight in the gym I did 45 minutes of cardio. I was extra hard on myself today because I had 4 chicken nuggests from McDonalds for lunch (granted it was only 4.5 points) but it was fried, no bueno. Then at my meeting today they had free pizza, of course I didn't turn it down..I had not ONE but TWO pieces of pizza. Lets just say ick, cause that's how I felt. Oh well, it's not my normal eating so it'll be ok. So today in the gym I did 30 minutes on the Cybex on level 5 and burned 460 calories! My legs and arms feel it too. Then I did 10 minutes on the treadmill, running 6 of those 10 minutes (I did 1/2 a mile continuous, then walked the rest) burning 100 calories. Then I ended with 5 minutes on the bike burning 40 calores. Totalling 600 calories burned in 45 minutes! My best yet! Then I did about 150 abs, most with the medicine ball on the incline bench. I'm a beast in the gym!! Lol.
I also read on my Women's Health magazine that it's better to weight train before cardio if you plan to do both in the same workout. When you do cardio after lifting weight it helps the blood flow throw your muscles and loosen them up. When I get to my 20% goal I will start my weight training. That means in 10 more pounds I will start weight training 2 times a week.
There's a lot of good stuff I read in there, you gals should pick it up or read it while you stand in line at the grocery store.
Tomorrow's Valentine's day and bf and I are still kinda on the outs...So I don't think I'll be doing anything special...I'm trying to act like I don't care but I do, it's my fav. holiday. Bummer. He said he couldn't get the night off so he wants to come out here Friday and bring me my gift and spend the night with me...But my mom is supposed to be coming to pick up my puppy (he has to stay with her for a while...it has to do with the big news I can't reveal) so how much QT are we really gonna get with my mom here. She's an attention whore, if I'm not entertaining or spending time with her, she'll get pissy and I don't wanna deal with that. We'll see how this plays out...
Quick question...Who gets those gov't rebate checks and who doesnt? I know you have to make over $3000 annually owe little to no taxes which includes me...Does anyone know if being a student exempts me?
Ok, that's all I got for the night gals. Have a great Valentine's Day with your sweeties! Don't eat anything you'll regret!
