Signed up with Brian for another 10 visits, we are going to continue to lift weights next week, but the next week Brian wants me to take that week off and not lift any weight, but do my Cardio. Then when we begin again he will have a new program worked out. Brian said that everyone needs to take a week off from weight lifting from time to time, then when we start again, my muscles will be sore like they were in the beginning, when I had trouble sitting on the throng.

Wow Joan--You are really doing great! Are you looking forward to a week off from lifting??

Hope you have a good day tomorrow doing cardio!!!

I am totally awe struck and impressed! WOW!

Alice, in some ways I am looking forward to having the week off, but in other ways, I'm not..now does that makes sense??? I'll still go out everyday and do my Cardio.

Orchid, thanks so much for stopping by, I love new visitors.

Okay, I did 35 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes on the bike this morning, and I'm so happy that today is Friday

Good finish to the week Enjoy the weekend off

Hugs

Joan--

You make absolute sense to me. I wasn't going to do any exercises today and felt guilty all day like I had messed up--so after dinner- went out to our pool and did 50 laps under the stars and beautiful moon. Guess I have developed a habit or something huh??

Tomorrow I am going to swim another 50 laps to make up for Monday as they will be here and I won't go to the gym then either. Where the h--l does this guilt feeling come from????

Hope you have a good evening there. Hugs!!

August 28 & 29 are my ''no exercise" days. It has been proclaimed here in Louisville

August 31, 2004 Tuesday Cardio

Elliptical machine keeping strides 114-116 per minutes. 30 minutes

Bike keeping rpm's at 79 for a time of 15 minutes.

Total Cardio time 45 minutes. Calories burned 786

Got to the gym at 6 a.m. cause Bob and I are expecting someone around 8 this morning, so I wanted to make sure I got home in time. In fact the traffic was so light on my way home that I've decided to start getting to the gym by 5 a.m. to get my Cardio in. This way I can just leave Bob in bed until I return.

wow and all of this so early!!!! Good for you

September 01, 2004 Thursday

Went to the gym at 5 a.m. this morning, it was great being able to come home without dealing with school traffic.

Did a total of 45 minutes of Cardio. 40 minutes on the elliptical machine, and then 5 on the bike. Off to see the doctor this morning.

Great going Joan!!! See your Doctor and you now have something in common too---workouts!!! Neat. I have to get my Mammogram set up this month too. More squishing and squashing. Maybe I'll lose a bit if I get Margaret to squish them a bit harder.
