Here's a quick glance of that I did:

chest press
shoulder press
lateral raise
seated flys
dips
tricep kickbacks

When I worked out my legs I didn't fatigue my muscles as much I wanted too - no soreness whatsoever. booo! i like feeling sore because then i know that i did the workout correctly.

we'll see tomorrow if my shoulders hurt a lil'. i swear they were burning at the gym.

btw, here's the fiance and i.

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

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.
hmm.gif
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 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.
