i think it's the fact that my personal trainer always pushes me that keeps my motivation up...

now i don't know if i could ever push myself by myself, hahaha, jk.

i have company cocktail party to attend tonight so be sure to stay tuned for new pics. ;P

Hi Everyone!

I just got done walking the 5K for the AIDS Walk. We finished in 1 hour and 36 minutes.

I can't believe how much a 5k can wear out your legs! We took a lonnnnggg nap when we got home.

Thanks! I got it from Macy's. It was such a hit that night, I loved the fit too.

Other than that, I haven't been working out for the past 2 wks because I started getting chest pains.

It felt like a 20lb weight was just sitting on top of my chest. I got checked by my doctor (ekg, blood test, and chest x-rays) and she said that everything looked "normal" and recommeded that I got to a cardiologist.... :confused: But the next available time slot at the cardiologist isn't until Dec.

So lately I've just been taking it easy and haven't been working out. Either I've developed a lot of muscle from the 5k and my workout sesion with my trainer on 9/29/06 or I got fat bc I think I'm back to my original weight! gasp!~ I don't feel flabby so I'm hoping it's just muscle.

I'm going back to the gym on Wednesday to start all over again.

S: grande peppermint mocha w/ nf milk and no whip (about 300 cals)

Plan for tonight: walk on the treadmill for 45 minutes

Tomorrow attend a workout class at the gym and bump up my cardio.

I haven't been working out for the past wk bc i've been sick.

islandblossom · 11-12-2006, 02:03 AM #**134** (**permalink**)

I'm still a bit sick but this is pretty much what I did yesterday...

45 mins cardio; burned about 200 cals... it's so hard to workout when you're sick because you can't really breathe normally when you're congested

worked on abs, used the roman chair to do 3 sets of lower back extensions, 20 reps

then 3 sets, 20 reps of obliques

finished with ten minutes on the stair climber

tomorrow i see my trainer and hopefully i'll be able to get back to speed. wish me luck!~

Okay I'm back for gooooood! Work has been keeping me busy, in fact, I wasn't going to the gym for a while because i had so many things to catch up on: work, school, etc. and surprise surprise, in a month I lost 8lbs! What?!? It's probably muscle but wow, how dramatic. It's probably because I opted to stop going out to lunch all the time and cut back on my Starbucks addiction. Wow!

Hope all are doing well.

KAIA · 09-11-2007, 05:27 PM #**140** (**permalink**)

WOW!! that's awesome!! congrats!! so much are you weighting now?

islandblossom · 09-21-2007, 03:20 PM #**141** (**permalink**)

Thanks KAIA! I weigh about 130 lbs right now but I need to definitely get back to the gym in order to tone up PLUS the fact that our company caters lunch on a daily basis doesn't help. Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Tomorrow I will definitely hit up the gym for sure. :]

Thanks to everyone that continues to support me.
