Poop
You'll notice over there to the left that I've updated my weight stats. Yep, you read it right, folks. But I'm not too discouraged because I know that weight came from my nutritionist's efforts at resetting my metabolism. Now that it's back on track to actually *work* for me, and with my added exercise goals, I should be getting rid of those stoopid three pounds shortly. And the ten beyond that, too.
So. Two months and some change to lose thirteen pounds. Let's test my sticktoitiveness, shall we?
As far as following last weekend's plans, there was no exercise on Friday night. Saturday was much walking, as anticipated. Sunday was much walking, as well, followed by about 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. I had grander goals than that, but as I was telling a fellow Cornocopia blogger, at least I did *something*.
Due to the latest Fitness magazine which I received in the mail, I have a re-vamped exercise routine that I feel pretty confident about. Really, that mag is pretty darned useful for coming up with new and more interesting ways to work out, or to juice up your workout if you've reached a plateau. I don't know why I keep planning out a week's worth of workout routines, when I know I'm not going to follow it, but having something planned on paper makes me feel better. So I do it.
Sunday - Cardio - ramped elliptical routine, varying resistences, increased RPM's. 51 minutes.
Monday - Total body weight routine, additional arms focus.
Tuesday - Cardio (jogging, jumprope, elliptical, whatnot). 45 minutes minimum.
Wednesday - Total body weight routine.
Thursday - Cardio, or ramped elliptical routine if I'm up to it. 45-51 minutes.
Friday - Total body weight routine, additional arms focus.
Saturday - Pilates or Yoga DVD (probably Yoga, since it's my favorite!). Or if I'm pooped, a day of rest and do the DVD instead of one of my cardio days.
Last night's cardio was half successful and half non-successful. It was non-successful in that I wasn't able to do more than 20 minutes of the routine, but it was successful in that at least I did something. I'm hoping that as my athletic ability increases, I'll be able to jam through the whole elliptical routine. Five minute stretches of 95 RPM's at a level four resistence is *tough*, though.
