Ok!
I'm starting this gym log today.

I have recently started working out with my home gym- it's a Sears Cross Bow (similar to the Bow Flex)
Here is my tenative schedule for now:
Monday- Heavier weights with fewer reps- 3 sets of 5 reps
Tuesday- Lighter weights with more reps- 3 sets of 12 reps
Wednesday- Rest day- maybe walking or something but no lifting.
Thursday- Repeat of Monday
Friday- Repeat of Tuesday
Sat & Sun - no lifting- just odds & ends- ie: yard work, walking or what ever.

Today- I worked out on the gym for 30 minutes then walked the dog for a little bit before work.
That REALLY woke me up this morning too! I SO didn't wanna get out of that bed- but I'm glad I did now!

Got my tail out of bed at 5:30 again & done my work out- actually went for some extra time on accident! lol
An extra 10-15 minutes over my normal time of 30 minutes- Didn't realize it until I checked the clock & it was 6:30~!
It takes me 15 minutes to crawl out of bed & get some work out clothes on! ha ha How SAD is that??? So I'm NOT a morning person. ok! Once I'm up- I'm good to go usually- but it's crawling out of my comfy bed that presents the problem.
Anyway- so then I took Josie- my pooch out for her pee break & let her scout for froggies by the creek for a few minutes- WISH you could see that! It is FUNNY looking! Especially when she actually SEES one hop! HA HA

Today made my 2 week mark for working out on a "regular" set schedule.
So I am patting myself on the back for that one.
I am going to get the hubby to take some pics of my bosy NOW- before I get too far into this thing so that I can see what difference it makes. I didn't take any pics of myself before I started losing weight- until I was 30 pounds in & now I wish I HAD.
Oh well. I don't see me gaining it back just to take that picture! LOL
What is done is done.

Started week 3 of working out 4 days a week on the hom gym 30 minutes each day.
Got up this morning & worked out as well.
I STILL haven't taken any pics~ Grrrr
Keep forgetting until I'm in bed or something! lol

Tomorrow I plan on walking early in the AM 1.5 miles.
This is the first time I have walked in about a month- as I was having shin splints pretty bad for a while & had to give that a rest.
So we'll see how that one goes!
Wish me luck!

Walked 20 minutes this morning-
Not as much as I'd of liked to have gotten in- maybe later I can walk again or something.
I have my hand weights here- maybe I can do something with them while I'm here today.

Today- I got up at 5:30 & done my work out (3 sets of 12 reps of each movement that I do- I think there are 11 or 12 movemeents best I can mentally count right now)
Starting Monday- I'm going to start using a workout schedule from the site that pammie posted- it has a whole selection of beginner/ intermediate / & Advanced workouts progressing by the weeks- so I'm starting on week 4 of the beginner ones on there- since Monday will be the start of my 4th week anyway- & that schedule is more along the lines of what I'm already doing as far as # of reps etc.
I'm excited about starting that routine! Thanks again Pammie!

Anyway- I worked out for a little OVER 30 minutes- it was more like 35-40 minutes- I didn't realize it until I checked the clock & it was 6:22 already! I started at 5:45 AM~ I had to rush the dog on her walk & potty break. HA HA
Then it was in the shower & off to work for me!

Feel REALLY good today. YAY!
