Here is yesterday's thread for you. I had a super super lazy day yesterday, and ended up not going to the gym because I had a bit of a headache. We'll see if today goes any better. Would you guys like it if I tried to find something to post everyday? Whether it be a workout, inspiration, healthy recipe or meal idea? Or better yet, what would you like to see from me? I am open to suggestions. Have a good day, and sorry this is up so late. If I'm up super late again like last night, I'll post the new thread before I go to bed in the future. |

Hi Annie! If you want to take the time to find something to post, that's a great idea. There's a ton of food and fitness blogs out there with some great ideas every day.
I had a good workout yesterday, my trainer is out of town and I had a sub, who I really liked. It was different than what we usually do, in a very good way. I've learned so much having a trainer, I'm a little sad this is my last month with her (it's just too expensive for me to justify). I know I've learned how to work out on my own in a different way than I was working out before. It's amazing to me how much stronger I look and feel after 2 months.

I totally understand about money. I got a credit when I joined my gym last month. I could have used it either for one session with a trainer, or pay a bit more and get a group class with a trainer for a month, so I chose the class to make my money go a bit further. I wish I could afford a personal trainer to kick my butt into shape. I love when you actually can start seeing the changes though. It makes it all worth it. |

I know about working out with a trainer. I did it for a year and couldn't believe what kind of shape I was in and what that guy could get me to do. I know I will never work out that hard on my own. I had a great day yesterday. Went on a very long walk with dh. Got in almost 15,000 steps on the day. Eating was fantastic. Hoping to keep that going. |

Glad to see this thread! I've been AWOL from any gym or real exercise for too long. Last year I was training 2-4 times per week for a triathlon. I have been a major slacker this year so far.
I have decided to re-join a gym. I like this one that is really out of my way and there are 3 other gyms / wellness centers that are closer for me but I have several really motivating friends that go to this place. They have some great classes and great times so I think I'll actually GO. I work 3 twelve-hour shifts or more each week and have to be in by 0630. I'm not going before or after my shift and I really hate getting up at 0500 just to go to the classes on my off days. I just can't.
The classes run pretty much all day long at this place and it looks like they will really fit with my routine. I'm excited!!
I hope to be a regular on these fitness threads!

I did a great workout yesterday. I burned almost 400 calories in my hour. My eating was great, I got in the pool. So overall it was a great day. I stepped on the scale this morning and I was up 3 lbs!  I know my body fluctuates but man, I hate seeing it up that much after a good day. Doesn't bother me too much though because I know in the grand scheme of things, I'm doing my best and I'm seeing results. Today is supposed to be a hot one here in New England...90s. So a friend and her girls are coming over to swim after lunch. Her youngest is a little fearful of the water and I told my friend I'd stay in the pool all afternoon unless her dd feels comfortable with me getting out. So it looks like a fun day ahead for me!  Dinner tonight is chicken tacos for the kids and dh and I'll have a taco salad with just a mix of lettuces topped with the taco chicken, light cheese and 2 hard shelled tacos. One of my favorite summertime dinners!! |
