New Year's Resolution

I didn't post yesterday. It was a "rest" day... ok, it wasn't a scheduled rest day. It just turned out that way. It was my daughters open house for 2nd grade. New year, new excitement and adventures. I really like starting my new year in the middle of the year with the school year. I mean, why not really. So my New Year's resolution is to stop. That's it. I'm a very go go go go go go go person. This year I'm going to stop. Stop and smell the roses. Stop and play with my kids. Stop and just breath. Just stop. So what about you?  What's your New Year's Resolution?

Short post, it's time for bed. I went to the gym tonight, by myself. Tuesday is Frank's rest day. So it takes a little extra umph to get myself in there. So it was super nice to see Alice in the gym tonight. It really helps to see a friendly face to keep me going.

Gettin' back in there

 I'm back on it. After 7 very very long weeks. I went back to Zumba tonight... NOPE!!!! They're redoing the floors this week. boo.
But I did go to the Y tonight. Hubby and I ran a little over a mile loop from the Y. I felt really good about it considering it's the first time I've run in forever. It actually felt like a relaxed jog. And then when we got back to the Y I did my strength training. The strength training I'm doing is the Jamie Eason's Live Fit 12-week training program. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-trainer.html. I've done it before and love it. I find that it is very difficult to do the third phase without a workout partner. So that's where I stopped last time. Hopefully this time around I can find somebody that is willing to work out late with me.

So this is tonight's session:
1.13 miles - 18 minutes (not timed. just guessing)
Wide pushup(on knees): 3 sets: 12/10/7
Barbel Bench Press: 3 sets: 20lbsx12/ 20x12/ 20x12
Cable Flys: 3 sets: 20x12/ 15x12/ 15x12
Tricep dumbell Extension: 3 sets: 10x12/ 12x12/ 10x12
Tricep Pushdown: 3 sets: 15x12/ 15x12/ 15x12

See you tomorrow.

That's all...

Walked to the track tonight. I walked a mile around the track and each 1/4 mile I went up and down three flights (24 steps each) of stairs. And then walked back home. Took about 40 minutes. I felt really good about it. Challenged myself but didn't hurt myself.

*Turning the page*

My stomach is killing me. It's not surgery hurt, it's more of a didn't eat enough when taking a pill hurt.  But I haven't taken any pills. Gotta keep an eye on that.

*Turning again*
My 2 year old had her first imaginary friend last night. It was Lion. She was so cute.

That's all.

Weigh-in Day

This morning I weighed myself in at 233.6. Very proud to be mantaining during this non-excercise time. Of course, I would like to be losing. But the fact that I'm not gaining while I haven't been working out is reason enough to be happy for me.
I did walk today, on the treadmill. 2 miles.  I felt good about it. Tomorrow is stairs.

This week's plan

My goal for this week is to do something physical every day.  And since I still can't really work out-workout.  I'm going to have to keep it easy but do something. So...
Monday night: I will go to the gym with Frank and while he is doing Zumba I will walk on the treadmill.
Tuesday: I will walk up and down the stadium at the school track
Wednesday: I will do yoga in the morning with Caroline. (something going on Wednesday night)
Thursday: Swimming
Friday: Rest day
Saturday: Walking at the park with the family.

And writing down all my food.  I did pretty good last week with writing my food down. Didn't necessarily keep me from eating crap, but baby steps.  Keeping myself accountable is a big step.
