just a cha cha cha chugging along...

Weight 174.4

Awesome time for me lately. I have been going to the gym at work 4 times a week! Rockin it baby! I am thinking maybe I don't hate exercise like I thought that I did. I think what I didn't like was the act of going. It seems that it is easier for me to handle going at lunch more than before or after work. I feel that I am already trapped here so I might as well go. I have been doing the treadmill or eliptical, then hitting the bike (3 miles total). Then I do a circuit on the weight machines.

Not much going on really. I watched The Prince of Persia last night. It's a so so movie. We liked the new Hawaii five 0, I would recommend watching that on TV if you have a chance. Oh, we also watched the Biggest Looser. Eh, we will see if I keep up with it.

No exciting plans this weekend. We might go to the Ocktoberfest tonight, but I am not sure yet.

Have a safe and healthy eating/excercising weekend peeps!

A nice longggg weekend.


I am looking forward to the extended weekend. Nothing special planned yet. I am sure something fun will get worked in there. I have been thinking about riding my bike but my butt hurts for two days afterwards. My hubby says that is because we are old and our butts can't take it. Do I need a gel seat or will I get use to it?

Tuesday was my youngest daughter's 15th birthday. She wanted to go to Hooters for dinner. Holey macaroni, I gained 3 lbs from dinner and cake! Yikes, I couldn't believe it. My digestive system was out of wack for 2 days afterword. Eating a whole hamburger and fries was not worth it. I had my tiny little angel on my shoulder telling me to stop eating at 1/2 but the little devil won and I ate the whole thing. So as a result a three lb gain and feeling measurable for 2 days. Live and learn.

I have my workout clothes with me so that I can hit the gym at lunch today. Going forward my goal is to hit the gym everyday at lunch. We have a free gym to use here at work. I just have to walk across the street to use it. This will be in addition to doing Yoga at home. I have been wanting to try Yoga at a real Yoga place but I am nervous about going. I can do most of the simple poses but the more difficult ones I still can not do because I am either not strong enough yet or my fat gets in the way.

I hope everyone enjoys their long weekend. Take care and be safe!
