April 10, 2011 - Saturday workout/ weekend update
Hello everyone,
I was on the computer today cleaning my roadrunner.com account. I have a long way to go. I deleted 1000 emails but I have 5500 left. Looks like I will be taking the time to delete and clean out the account.
I went to the gym yesterday. I did ok. I got on the treadmill and proceeded to walk the 1st minute at 3.5, then increased it to 5.0 for 2.5 minutes. What I did differently was I ran at 2.5 grade for 1 minute and brought it down to 0.0 grade for the remainder of the minute and a half. Then I walked at 3.4 for 2 minute recovery. I kept doing that until I completed the 30 minute treadmill workout - 2.65 miles. Bri, I tried to continue with the 1.5 grade but I just ran out of steam. I'll get back to it in a few weeks. I really need to purchase new sneakers and a stop watch so I can get outside and practice. Thats 1/2 my problem right now. We aren't on the 2.5 min run and 2 min walk yet but I want to be 1 step ahead of everyone. Again, there are a few people in the group who are trying to practice 3 min run and 1 min walk. I'll get there - just not ready for that yet. Almost.
By the way, I weighed myself and Im down to 184. Thats a plus. My clothes are fitting better. Just going to continue to continue to eat my salads every other day. Fruit and veg for 2-3pm snack. Thursday is group exercise, so that is my carb day. Biggest winner doesn't weigh in until the 20th. Thats next Wed. I need to get my t shirt. Hopefully I still can get it. Thats what I get for getting down there promptly at 9am, they didn't have anything ready except for the scale and about 10 of us weighed in only.
Sunday - I was suppose to walk 2 loops around the park but I had some work done to my car (breaks and rotors). Found parts for about $90.00. Tom went and picked up the parts so I owe him $$ when I get paid on Thursday. thats ok. I tried to get my car tire rotated but it would have been a 3 1/2 hr wait. I needed the tired torked. The guy was an idiot, he said to me "nuts are looking pretty loose" Well...Duhhhhh! I said to him "thats why Im here so you can tork them" I will have to try again tomorrow or during the week. Went to Wegmans and spent about 70.00 worth of groceries. A small fortune but at least I am carrying a list of things I need (making sure I go by the list only).
Well, wanted to beat the monday morning busyness at work and write this now. I think if tomorrow is a nice day - I might go to the park and walk 2 times around to make up for today (I am abit tired and my lower back hurts). Better luck tomorrow. The temp went up to 77 degrees here in Buffalo Today! Thats a milestone after the winter we had. I still have my shovel out on the porch. Im not putting it in the basement until May 1. Tom put his in his workshed. I told him if we get snow in the next week - its all his fault.
