Will walk on the treadmill tonight for 45 min and do lunges! Those lunges seem to work!

Yay for a fabulous butt! That's what I think of when I see/hear the word lunges. Congrats on maintaining =)

Thank you!

Today was memorial day so my family had a "steakfest" and I had to be very careful about that I ate because the slightest indulgence could set me off track.

B: spinach salad w/ grilled chicken
S: tall white choc mocha w/ nonfat milk and no whip cream
L: 1 bbq stick plus one stick of corn

My mom gave me her 2 8lb weight dumbells so i'll definitely be using those to doing some squats tonight.

I haven't been able to work out this past weekend bc I started my period and was having very bad cramps. booooooo.

B: 2 WW rice cakes + coffee
S: protein yogurt + diet coke

Belly dancing tonight...

That's so weird, I didn't realize that I didn't eat that much today. Probably cause we were so busy in the office.

B: coffee + yogurt w/ scoop of protein powder
S: rice cake
L: turkey sandwich + diet coke

my military benefits recently got cut off so i haven't been able to put in any real strength training just yet but fortunately, the fiance and i were able to obtain membership at la fitness!

i'm sooooo excited, they have a variety of group exercise classes and they feature a swimming pool as well as a sauna room. i can't wait for that.

so this my exercise workout plan for next week:
sunday: strength training - emphasis on lunges & squats
monday: hip hop class
tuesday: possible hip hop class then strength training
wednesday: belly dancing
thursday: belly dancing
friday: rest
saturday: strength
sunday: strength

i know i should be specific about what type of strength training exercises i will be doing so i'll work on that soon enough.

i'mmore excited about getting a swimsuit and going for a lap at the gym!

i love dance classes... I can't wait to start workingout... endorphins and regulates your sleep... I hate tossing and turning at night... keep it up, islandblossom =)

today was the first day that the fiance and i used the facility at our new gym and it was awesome!

Sunday:
10 minute stretching
focused on abs for 10 minutes / obliques, abs, and lower back
3 reps of outer thighs
3 reps glutes
3 reps hamstrings
3 reps obliques
3 reps crunches
then swam in the pool for a little bit, sat in the jacuzzie then spend 10 minutes in the sauna.

it was great! i felt like i was on vacation!

B: 2 rice cakes
S: handful of almonds
S: yogurt w/ protein powder
S: orange
L: ravioli

Exerise: 1 HR cardio hip hop + 10 minutes in sauna

D: oven baked chicken breast w/ corn on the cob and mased potatoes (didn't really eat the potatoes)

Plan for tomorrow:
1 hr hip hop cardio
strength training, emphasis on abs and arms

B: 2 rice cakes
S: handful of almonds
S: yogurt w/ protein powder

Will complete menu by the end of the day.

Exercise: my friend was AWOL yesterday... originally we were supposed to go to hip hop cardio yesterday but she didn't go...so today we're doing that

1 hr hip hop cardio

wth?

I weighed in at 128 lbs today.... what's going on?

I've been working out all week (mostly cardio w/ strength training on Sunday, Monday, & Wed).

Could this be muscle? Water weight? This is a huge jump....


B: cofee + 1 rice cracker (will possibly snack on another one in the next few minutes)

With all the work at the gym that you do I wouldn't be surprised if you have gained a significant amount of muscle, and muscle weighs more then fat, so I would think its just muscle weight.

That makes sense. I'm most likely not going to weigh myself til the end of this week. Jumping on the scale every day is bad for the psyche but sometimes it's just hard not to...

So far this wk:
Monday: 30 min cardio on Cross Trainer machine w/ strength training emphasized on glutes & thighs.

don't get discouraged. weight fluctuates naturally between 4 and 6 lbs daily.

does it really? that's insane!

Today I doubt that i'll be working out, i'm veryyyyyy tired. I stayed up a lil late last night and I've been suffering from it all day at work. =( I just want to go home and sleep.
