I have decided to finally start an exercise journal. My goal is to at least do some form of exercise everyday. (And I'm going to work my butt off (Literally) to do it.)

Melissa

30 minutes of general purpose running around with 25 lbs strapped to my back (No joke!!!)

Upper body lifting to failure (15 lb hand weights)

CD of the day -- Pet Shop Boys - Discography

Melissa

Ran 1/2 mile, walked 1/4 mile

I haven't ran in a few weeks and I DID IT! WOO HOO!

CD of the Day: Pet Shop Boys (still) and Jann Arden

I forgot to do this earlier
Ok, my arms are sore. They aren't really sore, but they're sore. I was hoping that working to failure would make them hurt more, but maybe I'm just recovering faster. Since being on LC I've noticed that any pain from working out (Good pain not injury) Isn't as severe and doesn't last anywhere near as long. (I wish I'd known this 6 years ago.......) Oh well. We'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow after my first run in awhile.

Melissa

Walked 2 miles today. (WOO HOO!!!!!!)
And cleaned the house (Hey, it's kind of exercise!!!!!!)

So far:
10 minutes high intensity kenpo. (i'm taking a water break right now.) I remember when I could do this for an hour without stopping. <sigh> Soon again though!!!!!
200 push ups (goal for today is 200.)
Lower body lifting
45 minutes rollerblading.

I'm going to fight tonight!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!! it's just with my husband, but still, it's better than nothing!!!!!
Well, back to my water!

Melissa

Ok, back on the workout track!!!!!!!! So far today:
100 pushups
yoga stretches
40 side crunches
40 kicks

I'm going to try to exercise little bits throughout the day. I love how I feel when I exercise and with my up coming trip I'm even more pumped!!!!!


Melissa

100 pushups
yoga
50 crunchs

I can't believe that it's (Supposedly!!!!!) 69 degrees out!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! I might have to take hubby and go walking in the park tonight!!!!! WOO HOO!!!! I hope this weather lasts!!!!!!


Melissa

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!
20 minutes stretching
Ran/walked 7 minutes (would have gone longer but there was too much road work and too many idiots wandering aimlessly........
40 kicks
5 minute cool down on the bike

More to come later today!!!! (I've got to get something done around here first!!!!!! )

Melissa

Ok, I'm starting my exercise goals and program over again. I've been such a slacker. The most exercise I got was walking the mall (I love Nordstroms coffee!!!!! ) , walking the beach and running from high tide. Not a lot. )
It definately didn't off set all the crap I had. <sigh>

I'm going to set new goals and I'm going to be pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I've got to.

Melissa

--Get back into Kenpo classes
--Attend class at least twice a week (MINIMUM!!!!!!!)
--Practice at least 5 days a week.
--On non-practice/class days at least some kind of activity (walking, biking, rollerblading.)
--Work out on days I work. I can't be tired from sitting on my butt all day. That is not an excuse!!!!!!!!!!!!
--Regain my flexablity.
--Be able to run 1 mile continuously within the next 3 months without injury.

Melissa

Sparred for 20-30 minutes
basics from Yellow - Blue belt lists
All yellow belt techniques
15 minutes kicks (To see if my pants would rip And they didn't!!!!!!!!!)

Melissa

DAMN IT!!!! I just found out that I've been out ranked my someone that I out ranked before I left the studio. I can't believe that Dave's a brown belt now!!!! I guess I need to get my butt in gear so I can outrank him again !!!!! Sheesh!!!!!!!

Melissa

1 3/4 hours Kenpo: Basics from Yellow-Blue + all techniques from yellow - blue.
I can't believe that I've done about 3.5 hours of kenpo today. No wonder I'm drained. <sigh> I remember when 3.5 hours was nothing............ SOON!!!!!!


Melissa

Melissa-
You've got some GREAT goals! Looks like you are on track and doing excellent!

Keep it up!
