More Than You Think You Are.
 
I used to be a runner. I would get up and run at least 1 mile every morning come rain, snow, or hotter than Hades temperature. After a knee injury I had to cut back on my running. Then somewhere along the way I came up with the wonderfully lame excuse that I didn't have time to run, walk, go to yoga, go to pilates or even go to spinning class anymore. Today is the day I change all that by starting a gym log!

Exercise has not been happening other than my daily walking (I've been averaging around 5 miles a day plus up and down 6 flights of stairs for the past week and a half ), but I think my body is catching on. Once things settle down, which I'm hoping will be by the end of the week, I'm going to be hitting the gym hard. I want to get to my goal before this summer. It would be nice to hit it before spring break, but I'm not expecting miracles. :lol:

Still no real exercise beyond the walking and some occasional yoga. I've had a cold for the past few months that I just can't seem to shake. After I get home I just want to crash (after my homework that is).

Finally an actual gym log entry!

2.82 miles on the elliptical machine - 360 calories
Weights - back, shoulder, side and squats to failure.

Too sore to hit the gym and I don't want to hurt myself (the squats killed my legs), so today was strictly yoga.

Amelda Sun, Feb-05-06 07:53

Still no gym today. My legs are feeling better, but my chest and arms are killing me now!! Yoga off and on all day to stretch everything out.
