Success

I hit the gym Thursday - Sunday, but rarely do I make it 4 days, however I'm really hoping to accomplish that this week. My other half has parent teacher meetings today, but hopefully I'll still make it to the gym in time to get a workout in before it closes.

Thursday I started my new routine.. and it felt great !  I started with 10 minutes of light cardio, followed by 2 sets of circuit training. It's all upper body ( arms, chest & back) which is great since my workout on the treadmill really works my legs & bum. After I completed the circuit twice, I did a 5 minute warm up on the treadmill and did the random program I usually do and increased my level to 6 this week. My speed varied between 3.2mph & 3.4mph. I've done my highest incline yet of 5.0. After my 45 minute random setting workout, I cooled down for 10 minutes. Boy, did it feel awesome !!!!

I'm so excited to get to the gym again tonight. Please God D's home so I have enough time to do at least a cardio workout, though I'd really like to get in my weights, so we'll see!

Saturday we're celebrating D's birthday since it's on Tuesday, Saturday makes for a better day to celebrate, plus it's my 'free' day in terms of Weight Watchers, which is when I get weighed. Fingers cross the scale is showing a decrease in weight, however it's not uncommon for weight to go up in people who have recenlty begun a workout regime, so I'm not worried even if it's the same, even up.. I know what I'm doing during the week - I'm eating within my daily alotted points and I hit the gym ( as far as W. W. is concerned) Sunday, Thursday & Friday before I'm weighed.

Happy Friday, all ! Have a fab weekend :)
