Still going strong

Sorry...I seem to have forgotten to update this thing. We were at the gym last week Wed, Thur and Friday nights. We had to take a break earlier in the week cos Mikey had a neck muscle pull and I didn't want him to re-injure it while on the muscle relaxers.

So I tend to be doing 30-45 minutes of cardio and then 30-45 minutes on the machines down stairs doing a variety of upper body, lower body and ab workouts. It's been fun. :) On Friday I stayed on Cardio cos I figured out SciFi was playing Serenity and that made me all shiny and happy so I stayed there for over an hour. :) Then we went over to Nikky's where I pigged out on veggie pizza. I know cos it's veggie does NOT make the pan crust healthy but sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.

Saturday I wanted to be productive but I just didn't have it in me after a LATE LATE night with friends. Plus there was rain moving in so I couldn't really mow...well the rain never hit us and I felt bad for not mowing...So on Sunday, after another late night with another friend visiting...I tackled the back yard. The rain in the recent weeks made half of the back a total bear to mow. I took a 5 hour Energy and kicked ass on the first 2/3rds of the back yard without a break. That other half...UGH...tried to kill me. But I muscled through it and got it done and even weed-eated. Great cardio work and leg work and forearm work. When you can't make it to the gym...make what you got your gym. :)

So we are hopefully back on schedule this week for the gym. Let's hope my hormones can stay in check this week and I can get through it. Nikky may just join the gym so that will help me out a ton! :) I'm really seeing the results with Mikey's bulking up phase. It is not overnight but he's getting there. :)

OK...that's it for now. I'll try another update with how I'm doing later on in the week.

Doing it on my own and it's going ok

OK...so I fired Wade...Fired is a harsh word but I have completely quit that track. We Went to the gym last night, forked over a ton of cash...well credit card cash...for a full year's paid in full membership for me and Mikey to the gym...then on top of that I got to pay for his 2.5 months of training with Wade. UGH...if that wasn't enough of a work out...least my pocket book is slimmer now...lol

I then went and worked on cardio. I did about 40 minutes up there, mostly on elliptical and some on treadmill. Then I struck out and hit the gym floor by myself. Mike was off working with Wade and I just wanted to do a little bit of machine work as well. I did some of my favorite arm machines and then even pulled in an ab work out. I didn't overdo it cos I was alone down there, and therefor I was a bit overwhelmed. I mean I know a lot of the machines but not all of them. I don't want to fall in a rut...I need a work out buddy for when Mike is training...I have a friend who I text on the phone but it's not quite the same...lol...Mike's making more friends than me in the gym so he's more likely to have a work out buddy...and he probably needs a good male work out buddy to help him pump the major iron...I'm not much of a spotter when it comes to weight I can't even lift myself. LMAO

So we go back Wednesday night cos Wade told him to not even come in today cos he worked him really hard last night and his muscles need to rest. So we'll see how it goes when it's the two of us on the floor. I know Mike needs to do other work outs that don't really include me but it's important that I'm there and trying. And that I don't allow myself to get too overwhelmed.

So...YAY! We have a year's membership paid...can't back down now! And I'm down to my lowest weight in a long time...I'm bout where I was close to 2 years ago now when I plateaued. I can't wait to shatter that and keep going down. Slowly but surely...slowly but surely. hehehe
