I got another good elliptical workout in this morning before heading to the store.

Stats: 262 cal, 2.42 mi, 35:00 min

My cool down was the hour I spent shopping!

I increased my incline every five minutes as a way to give myself a challenge. It went pretty well!

This was my first time at the gym since last Thursday. I had a bad migraine on Sunday that bled over into Monday. And then my tummy was feeling terrible this morning so I decided not to try anything new tonight. But it felt good to be back at the gym.

I also noted a very large gun show going on at the front of the room tonight. I'm not sure what the occasion was but there were a lot more men lifting weights then there were on previous Tuesday nights at 5:30 pm. I was glad to see a few women joining in on the gun show.

Thankfully there was a good episode of Chopped on that I could watch while I worked out. Tonight it was the Teenager Edition which I thought it made it more interesting - they seem very willing to take risks!

Default Prince anchored my walking exercise today....

I walked so much today. Probably for over 3 hours, intermittently.

And all the while, I was listening to all of the songs by Prince on my phone.

When Doves Cry kicked off my exercise pursuit today.



But my walking ended when The Beautiful Ones faded slowly as I was returning to my car, after walking all over the down town area.




It was an Purple Rain kind of day, for me, today.

Calories burned off: Probably a bazillion.
Body pain is off the charts, but I'm okay.

30 min. on the stairmaster yesterday, and same today.

I'm watching a Netflix Original series "I am a Killer." What a terrible title but a very well-done show. Interviews with those on death row, including their families and victims' families and life stories. Very moving and thought-provoking.

Nothing to report at this moment (well, 100 steps on my stepper, but the day is far from over yet!), but I'm committing to try to do at least 300 steps on my stepper, 3 short sessions with my light dumbells and one Pilates session each day, from today onwards.

Yesterday we did a lot of deep cleaning and I'm still sore from that but when J (oldest son's gf) comes over today I'm going to walk up and down the stairs until I start to feel winded and then call it a day.

300 steps and 3 sets with the dumbells done. Had to limit how much Pilates I did due to a sore back, but I did some.

I'm glad you're okay and I have to tell you that Purple Rain the album always makes me think of learning how to drive stick shift. I listened to that album all the time in my car when I was sixteen. We had this huge hill that I was always getting stuck at a stoplight on and I was always praying that I could get it to go into first without backing into the person behind me!

You know there's another option... Instead of doing the stairs you can come clean my place. Actually I think that's an awesome at home workout!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As for me I worked out last night at the gym and did the treadmill again. I decided to try adding 5 minutes to my routine and continued on with my mountain goat theme. The only downside was that I saw the first couple of minutes of the next chopped show and got hooked and wanted to stay to watch it. But there's no way I could have done a whole nother hour on the treadmill cuz my legs were noodly already! There was a gun show going on again at the gym so maybe everybody's just back from vacation. I have also figured out that I have a favorite treadmill which I was surprised to discover. I feel like I would like to put my name on it but I suppose that's not allowed.

I feel good about today. J is out of town and not here to help so it would have been easy to make excuses and just sit parked in front the computer all day. I made myself get up, push past the I don't wanna, and got moving. I've lost a couple more pounds but even so I've been finding myself doing a lot of negative self talk. It's hard to keep plodding along. I know that's the best strategy for losing weight and keeping it off – slow and steady wins the race, but sometimes I still guilt trip myself for not working harder.

Hey, just move to a recumbent bike. You can sit down, watch the show and pedal as fast or slow as you want but you are still--technically--working out.

After several consecutive days shorting myself of sleep, I got a full night's sleep last night...thank goodness. I needed it!

I woke up after having not moved around much during 9 hours so my back was tight and I was a little stiff. No circuit training for me today. I love my elliptical because it's so versatile and helps me work kinks like this pesky stiffness out so obvs I hopped on it today.

Stats: 235 cal, 196 mi, 35:00 min

I kept a steady pace but didn't push. I just wanted to get loose and burn some calories. My pace average was 17:51 minutes per mile, which is a bit slower than I usually do.

Another workout this morning.

Stats: 90 cal, .65 mi, 10:00 min on the elliptical.

Then I moved onto circuit training for about 40-45 minutes and ended with several minutes on the mat, stretching.

Yesterday....

I hiked for over 6 hours. A lot of uphill. Some bushwacking (it should burn more calories; it’s so arduous)

After that I geocached til dark. Most were park and grabs (where you pretty much drive up to it) but some took some walking. 300+ft x 2 adds up.

I’m pleasantly sore today. I’m also determined to do this more oftener. My soul just needs it.

Yesterday I kept up my little regimen, but today I was helping at a local dogshow held in a park, helping with setup and takedown, as well as manning the desk for the little competitions that were run. I suspect i burned rather more calories today than usual!

Great minds think alike! I looked around to see if I could do just that thing when I finished on the treadmill but unfortunately the TVs near the bikes were not showing my show.

I don't know what bushwhacking is but it sounds exhausting! I'm sure it burns more calories!

Oh my gosh getting your exercise while getting to spend time with dogs seems like the best way to do it! How fun!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Today I went to the gym and thought I might attempt to get on the elliptical.

I learned that I am but a small grasshopper and cannot yet attempt such a feat. I was on there about 3 minutes when my muscles were screaming, "Get off! Get off!" That will have to be a goal for me to achieve in the future.

So I went back to my beloved treadmill.

Today I walked 35 minutes and made it to Incline level seven. Woot! I don't know if it was the three minutes on the elliptical or the going to Incline level seven but I had extremely noodly legs that felt like they were not attached to my body once I got done with my workout.

Maybe next Sunday I will try the rowing machine that might be more my speed.

It's easier than you might think and is actually more gentle on your joints than slamming your feet onto the treadmill but technique makes or breaks you and not all ellipticals are equal. You will get there, grasshopper.




So I went back to my beloved treadmill.

Today I walked 35 minutes and made it to Incline level seven. Woot! I don't know if it was the three minutes on the elliptical or the going to Incline level seven but I had extremely noodly legs that felt like they were not attached to my body once I got done with my workout.

Incline 7? That's awesome!!!

Maybe next Sunday I will try the rowing machine that might be more my speed.

lol

The rowing machine is much harder than the elliptical, even if you are sitting down. It's a full body workout because you're engaging your core, arms and legs at the same time. I get winded after about 5 minutes at a normal pace and at about 2 minutes at a faster pace.







I like the 3rd video the best. The guy's personable and he shows you ways to fix the mistakes that make sense.

Now, I didn't watch every second of each of the videos so it may have been addressed but if you row, don't lock your knees. Locking your knees in exercises will inhibit blood flow and could, over a continuous period, cause a drop in blood pressure, which means night night, which is not good.

4x100 steps today and 4 sets of dumbell exercises. No Pilates because of aching side muscles, but I did some gentle stretching exercises.

Yesterday I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster, and today I did the same but followed it with 30 minutes on the weight floor (weights, stretching, abs, etc).

Prior to yesterday (Sunday), I had not exercised since Tuesday. Last week was my first week of school, and it was a rough week. I had my period and I had tried increasing my antidepressant (I lowered it back to my regular dose), so everything was just off with me. Luckily I am off today and Tuesday due to the Jewish holidays, so I can continue getting my groove back.

I saw the best friend of the perfect daughter today. Her name is Hilary (with one "L"). She's an interesting character. She does double work-outs, something I've always thought sounded cool and maybe will try out some day. She goes to the gym twice a day. Needless to say she is one of the regulars. She likes to go in the sauna with Taylor, the faster. And she and the perfect daughter study their college materials together in the locker room. So anyway, I saw Hilary on the weight floor. She was with a trainer just starting a session. I ignored her so that she could focus but she noticed me and said hello. I had JUST finished and said, "I'm just finishing." She said, "I'm just starting." I didn't know what to say. I felt bad for her because it's easier to have just finished than to be starting. I felt guilty that I was in the advantageous position. Yet I also wanted to be positive. So I said, "Work it!" and giggled, and she returned the giggle. I'm not sure it made much sense .

Happy exercising!
