Days behind...again! 3.7 - 3.12.10

Life has been crazy and extremely stressful. Let's see if I can remember what's up with my workouts.

3.7.10 - Sunday morning. I had been up for hours worrying, so I went to the gym for 45 minutes cardio before church. It was a tempo run. At some time in the afternoon, I went for a 50 minute racewalk.

3.8.10 - one hour morning cardio, 1 hr 15 min. Body Boot Camp.

3.9.10 - one 55 minute racewalk, 1 hr 20 min Body Boot Camp.

3.10.10 - Day off. Over stressed. Sinuses acting up. Miserable.

3.11.10 - One hour morning cardio - elliptical & stationary bike. 1 hr 20 min Body Boot Camp.

3.12.10 - One hour - 45 min elliptical, 15 min stationary bike.

I haven't been getting a lot of sleep due to the whammy life dealt us. I'm going to work on relaxation techniques and try to stop worry in its tracks. After all, the Bible does say, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything with prayer and supplication make your requests known to God."

3.5 - 3.6.10

On Friday I woke up with a cold and figured I'd make it a rest day. But as the day wore on I felt physically better but emotionally stressed and absolutely *needed* some cardio to burn off the angst. Ended up at the gym at 7pm for 40 min on the elliptical and 20 min on the stationary bike. Once again all the good treadmills were in use.

This morning I got in 10 minutes on the elliptical and then led a 1 hr 20 min boot camp class. I think we got a great work out in, 'twas very sweaty indeed. :) The day is still young and it has warmed up a bit, so I might go for a walk or even a RUN!!

3.3 - 3.4.10

3.3.10 - One hour of cardio - 50 minutes on elliptical, 10 minutes on the Stairmaster (someone was using it most of the time and *all* of the treadmills were taken). 30 minutes of yoga in the afternoon.

3.4.10 - One hour of cardio - 40 elliptical, 20 stationary bike. 1 hr 15 min Body Boot Camp. Today was a Thursday Three Hundred and it definitely helped me burn off some serious stress.

I've been sleeping LOUSY lately - my GWF testifies to that. Way too much stress!

Another Catch Up! 2.26 - 3.2.10

Life has been crazy...again. What else is new? Let's see if I can remember what is what. Before that though, I checked out the S.W.A.T. boot camp style workout DVD and it is soooo simple compared to my class. I was bored - it was very, very boring.

2.26.10 - Stressed out, fried - I think I took this day off.

2.27.10 - Body Boot Camp 1 hr 25 minutes. I seem to remember doing a little extra cardio in the evening. 45 min or an hour?

2.28.10 - An hour of cardio while watching the US & Canada play hockey.

3.1.10 - 1 hr cardio in the AM, 1 hr 20 min boot camp class in the PM.

3.2.10 - That's today! 1 hr cardio - elliptical and stationary bike. 1 hr 25 min boot camp class.

2.24 - 2.25.10

2.24.10 -- It's sad to think that I can barely remember what I did yesterday already! Life has been crazy to say the least. I got it an hour of cardio and a quickie back set. My back felt like it needed some work.

2.25.10 - 55 minutes on the elliptical and recumbent bike, working like crazy to get that "vigorous activity" goal met on my GWF. Lots of running hither and yon, then body boot camp tonight. It was a killer workout - a Thursday Three Hundred with a couple of tabata sequences thrown in. We did the stairs, I had a fun playlist. And boy, oh boy, did I have some stress to burn off. Class lasted 1 hr 25 min.

2.23.10

32 minutes on the elliptical and 26 minutes on the treadmill this morning. 10 minutes of a quickie back set.

Body Boot Camp was 1 hr 20 minutes. Did a "Tuesday 200" as part of today's plan. My right hip has been "out" since the other day, just nagging and annoying me. I had everyone doing "ugly crunches" (an oblique crunch where your knees come up to meet your elbow, looks ugly) and my lower back popped out...just like when the chiropractor does it. Had a little residual soreness and then it was A-OK. I'll have to try ugly crunches next time it wigs out.

2.21 -2.22.10

Sunday was a rest day. I'm starting to take the GWF off on Sunday mornings and leave it off all day so that I don't feel compelled to meet those calorie burn goals. Off day means OFF. Now it doesn't mean I go beserko with food or anything, just a day to give my body a rest. Nap in the afternoon after church, if possible.

Today, 2.22.10 - was up bright an early for some cardio at the gym with my girls. 45 minutes running on the treadmill then 15 minutes on the elliptical. It was mostly a tempo run but I threw in a couple of minute sprints.

Boot camp tonight lasted 1 1/2 hours. I was teaching the group another level of the "full body blaster" and suddenly someone was showing a great partner exercise and we were all trying stuff out. It was already 7:15 - so by the time we cooled down and did a "stretchy stretch" which is an extra, extra stretch, tick tock, all the time had flown. It was more like 7:35 and then stuff had to be disinfected and put away... It was a fun class though - fun people, everyone all chatty and happy, even in the midst of the intensity. One new girl said, "Darn! They should've made us sign a waiver!" LOL, but then she said that oh yeah, she's coming back!

2.19 - 2.20 (so far)

Friday, 2.19: 45 minutes on the treadmill, tempo run. 30 minutes weight training - leg day. Later on I got in the mood to do some old school Tae Bo for about 40 minutes, then I wanted a nice even number on my GWF so I did 15 minutes on my home elliptical.

Today, 2.20: My Body Boot Camp lasted 1 hr 20 minutes. Used the slides today, as well as lots of body weight and dumbbells. The class was full. Used to be that people wanted to sleep in on Saturdays, but lately Saturdays have been packed. It's nice.

I'd still like to get at least a 30 minute run in. I'm going to see how the ice situation is at my favorite running spot and maybe get 3 - 4 miles in.

2.16 - 2.17 plus playlist

Wednesday I managed an hour of good ol' cardio in the morning and had time for little else the rest of the day.

Today (2.17) - an hour of early cardio, then working with my youngest daughter on an upper body split.

Boot camp class was 1 hr 20 min and it was a Thursday Three Hundred along with a tabata series that kicked butt. Seriously, there will be some sore bodies tomorrow.
