The Biggest Loser League

I signed up for the Jillian Michaels diet and fitness plan.  I now follow her advice on work outs.  She combines weights and cardio and it is tough, but I believe it will all payoff!

5 - 6 days of 1 hour workout at the Y.  Also walk the dog at 4:00 for at least 4 days this week.

Rich didn't want to do the Y today so I went to the West Y.  It was pretty crowded at first but I didn't have to wait on anything.  I walked 3 laps, did the eliptical for 15 minutes.  I got my pulse up to around 125.  Then I rode the recumbant bike for 15 minutes and may have gotten my pulse up to 135.  The heart monitor wasn't working on the bike so I was guessing.  Then I worked out on the youth weights.  It felt great to get a good workout.  My clothes were even sweaty!

Rich and I went to the Y homecourt which is not my favorite but Rich likes it because it is less crowded.  Since it was my first time to the gym for awhile I didn't over do it.  I got on the treadmill for 15 min., kept it slow at first then worked up to 3.7 at level 1.  I worked up to a pulse of 108.  Then I got on the recumbent bike for 15 minutes and did the "variety" course.  I got my pulse up to about 121.  After that my legs felt a little wobbly so I walked a bit.  Then I used a 6 lb. medicine ball on my arms and then did 3 sets of sit ups with 10 reps each.  It felt good to be back in the gym and hopefully I won't be too sore tomorrow.

Today I took my walk with Sunnie.  I had some errands to run today and by the time I got home, it was pouring rain, so I did not go on my usuall bike ride.  But it will be ok because I ended up eating 3 points less than normal so I believe it will all even out.  I did do my challenge exercises of 100 v-crunches, 100 oblique twists and 30 push ups. On a different note, a life changing note, Rich got a call for a job in Ferndale, Washington.  It's not for sure yet but it will be interesting to see what God might have planned for us.  At this point in my life, I'm just going with the flow.
