alrighty, now i have started a gym log. I dont expect to be using it like crazy until March 1st and the biggest loser LC challnge starts though. Today, i did 100 jumping jacks just to get the red teams goat i also assembled a proform exercise bike. i dont know if it counts but i worked up quite a sweat by the time i was done!

5 miles on bike burned only 114 cal, 20.1 carbs. will do better and longer time when there is resistance. Sears is coming on the 20 th repair the problem
i love my bike though!!!

WTG......I will do 101 jumping jacks for the blue team !!!

All kidding aside WOW !! You have made some great progress so far.When did you start LC ?

I am on my way to take a walk now,I am going to challenge myself today to see how many jumping jacks I can do.I am also going to attempt a sit-up.

Stacy,

Thanks you have been doing great too riding with wee ones !!!!
I started last July, BUT i fell off the wagon in sept and just got back on a few weeks ago i was down into the 220's but went back up after the holiday hoopla was over. *sighs* I know that if the people from the biggest loser can do this amazing change in just 12 weeks, i can too and i am GOING to. My fat pictures are up and staring back at me! Jumping jacks are uncomfortable when all the flab is bouncing along with me! LOL but since my bike isnt fixed yet, and my dvd isnt here yet, i have to do SOMETHING in the meantime. it feels pointless riding my bike with no resistance .
1.5 weeks to the challenge start watch out red!!!!!!!!!!!!

February 20th 1 week until challenge begins. I want to be cardiologically (is that a word?) fit enough to do all of the exercise i want to do each day so i am building up. The bike (the new one is put together and already in use. So far i have kept it on resistance #10 (the hardest one) for a little over an hour . I have burned 1525 calories and 257 carbs by the digital readouts measurements. Sweaty but not too sweaty. Hard but not too hard. I am aiming for burning off at least 3500 calories today. I could have stayed on the bike but i had things to do. I will go for it again this evening. GO FOR THE GOLD SELF! hahaha my dvd workout should be here at the end of this week. Hopefully i will be ready for it and have burning 3500 calories on the bike everyday into a rhythm already. I will edit this entry tonight with my addidtional calories/carbs that have been burnt. nice to know that my body is burning almost just as many just to stay alive..... whohooooooo

Add edit here
was 1525 cal and 257 carb burned
add to that 400 cal and 72 carb burned
total:1925 cal 329 carb burned,

ADD EDIT:

Congrats, Brennabug, on your exercise start; it will get easier. And if you end up doing 3x per week, that's still good. I'm looking around in the posts for some inspiration since I've had 3 nights of excessive snacking, including one night off the low-carb (which I felt generally accepting about until the 3rd night of excessive snacking - now feel too full and a bit negative - not complete crisis guilt, but not great). ANyway, this is your journal not mine! Congrats again on the 10 pound challenge.
