'almost the big day' exercise thread.... check-in 5/7

oh good grief.... totally sick! I had to stay in the lab really late on thurs night, and by sat night, I was ill. Didn't exercise then, like I was supposed to....

Ignoring better judgement, Sun FH & I kept our 'revamp mom's jungle', I mean garden appointment . There will be a lot of wedding related events at her house, so it was really important. We did a TON of physical activity, and her whole yard is pretty now.... but we also topped it off with giant chicken parm heros ..... oh, but they were sooooooo goooooood.

Now I'm sicker than a dog.... shocker! Eating my salad, but losing my appetite. Obviously not exercising for a few days... sigh. Hopefully, I'll be better by thurs or fri, and back in a routine.

How are you doing?

I went to the gym and did the weight circuit today!! And attempted to do some cardio but felt light headed for some reason -- so I'll do a little extra cardio tomorrow

Keep it up ladies!!

Haven't check in for awhile so:

On Friday morning I started my new plan of working out in the morning. I dreaded my workouts after work in the evening and would come up with excuses not to go such as, 'it's too nice outside,' 'I'm too tired,' 'I'll go tomorrow,' and 'Shoot! I forgot to pack socks in my gym bag, oh well!'

I got up at 5:45am on Friday and went to the gym - did 35 - 40 mins of cardio.

Then Saturday morning FH and I took a walk around our neighborhood since it was so nice out. We had to go to a wedding and I had a 9:30am mani/pedi so the gym didn't happen.

Sunday, nada.

TODAY - I got up at 6am and went to the gym. Did triceps and biceps workout, interval training on the eliptical and treadmill for 20 minutes. That's all I had time for.

I feel so much better going to the gym in the morning. Then all I have to look forward to after work is going home, having dinner and taking a walk with FH.

Honestly, my eating habits are really not that bad. I eat very healthy for the most part.
I do have a little mini dark chocolate bar once in awhile from the candy bowl at work. Chocolate, especially dark, isn't bad in moderation. They say it's actually good for you! YAY!

Saturday, was at work til 2, ate Sushi and went to dance class. Dinner at moms for Pasta (bad but for good reason)
Sunday got up at 4am and traveled to the city for the 5 boro bike tour. Biked 42 miles and rewarded myself with 3 slices of Papa Johns pizza. (i know I know , I totally went overboard but hopefully offset it with bananas and water during the tour)
Today,
Didn't work out this morning, was way too tire from yesterday, but wheaties for breakfast, grilled chicken salad for lunch, and brown rice, and turkey kilbasa for dinner.

I am so upset, I was just starting my cardio workout a taebo tape and was distracted by someone and landed on my ankle and now I can't workout because I sprained my ankle I hope that it gets better before 9pm tonight so that I can workout. I have been doing so good, this will just ruin it for me.

Not going to the gym today. Theres just no time. I just got home from work and have to leave for church in about 1/2 an hour. I hate when I miss two days in a row at the gym.

Didnt eat bad today though. I had about 15 grapes for breakfast, and turkey and cheese whole wheat wrap, and a 100 calorie granola bar between the wrap and now. Trying to figure out what were doing for dinner right now. All I know is that it WILL be something healthy.

I just started my exercising....

I did a 30 minutes work out video including a mix of pilates, cardio, yoga, and aerobics all in one.

I will do this 6 days a week only taking Sunday to rest.

The fourth day the video increases to 45 minutes.
