Week 47 Great week

Sat Feb. 12th. Have an event in New Haven this morning. Danielle and I drove together. Topic was Sustainability in regards to graphic design at Yale, after we went to gym together. I did the treadmill but felt my breathing was labored......probably from the anti inflammatory. did 1.32 on treadmill. Disappointed myself took a break then got on the elliptical for 25 minutes...going 2 miles with avg heart rate between 161 and 164...so I made up for the lack in distance on treadmill. I really liked the elliptical, will do it again next time but do a set program they have on machine.

Tues Feb 15th. upper body very tough, Jon is pushing hard, but when does he not. I am looking forward to just doing weight trainings with him 3x a week and cardio on my own.

Wed. Feb 16, canceled morning cardio, had half day at work, went in early, went to other gym in afternoon after my appointment and was on fire. Did 1.39 on treadmill and did a program on elliptical. Great work out.

Thurs Feb 17 lower body....new lower body routine..YIKES lunges. killer. this new lower body is kickin my butt. Told Jon he would be so proud of me seeing me at the other gym, kickin butt doing cardio. Feel good for weigh in tomorrow

Fri Feb 18th weigh in. Lost 3 pounds.....and had lowest body fat % reading...yeah, and now the most weight lost...must keep going down, down down! Did a walking incline cardio with Jon, and it was brutal, holy cow, I was soaked with sweat. Going to go to other gym tomorrow with Danielle. Who would have EVER thought I would like to sweat my ass off. I certainly never did :)

Pinched nerve, "that time"

Feb 7th Went to other gym for my cardio right after work, felt great! Need to try more than just the treadmill my distance went to 1.37...yeah in 20 minutes

Feb 8 upper body I have a pinched nerve in my upper left side from chopping ice on back deck and shoveling it, so no position or exercise is easy. If doesn't get better have to call doctor.

Feb 9, got out of bed in pain, got dressed for the gym but changed my mind. Canceled gym. Found some old anti-inflammatory going to take it. tonight had a 50th birthday dinner at my favorite Thai restaurant. I went off my nutrition tonight, I hope it doesn't effect the scale on Friday. Called doctor, he called something in for me. OMG can it have any more side effects.

Feb 10 Lower body. forced myself to eat something so i could take the pill, it was difficult, i never eat before the gym. I made it thru. Told Jon, I no longer want to run on their treadmill. Don't know whats different, it is a big difference from the other gym, he will make me walk the incline

Feb 11 Cardio Weigh in. I gained 2 pounds....All I will say is I have "cramps" and Thai food on Wednesday. The cramps is most likely the cause, next week will be better. We did the walking incline....brutal, it sucked, sweated my ass off. Tomorrow will go to other gym.
