Not gonna happen

Well, I totally didn't think of packing clothes for a lunchtime workout.. heck, I didn't even pack a lunch. A lunchtime workout is not gonna happen. And not likely tonight either. It's like a Friday... I wanna party - ha ha, an extra drink or two hanging out on the porch.

Visited the Uptown Y

There's a Y within walking distance of where I work.... I hope to go there for lunch in the future... like tomorrow even! I wanted to make sure I could find it as well as check out if it was crazy zany (it wasn't really). I need to remember to pack a gym bag tonight, and pack a lunch (or more likely two heavy snacks).

At least twice a week, maybe 3 times I could...

  • 11:30 have a snack,
  • 12:30 leave for my lunch hour
  • 12:40 get there
  • 12:45 start cardio
  • 1:15 finish up
  • 1:20 quick shower and back to work clothes
  • 1:30/1:35 be back at work
  • 2:00/2:30 have another snack

I think this is all do-able!!!! I'm totally psyched that it is totally reasonable to lose 30+ pounds in 26 weeks!

Eat Less and Move More!!

Back at it!

I joined the Y last week. It was mostly for the pools they have, to do something fun with the kids more often. I get a slight (10%) discount from work and plus there are locations all over the place I can visit.

Today was my first workout! Woo-Hoo!! yeah, right... I started on the elliptical trainer and I thought I was going to die after 4 minutes. Somehow I managed to push myself to 5 minutes and then I jumped off and went to the treadmill. I did 20 minutes there. I did about 3.8 mph the whole time and I played around with the incline. I really felt like I was working it! That's good. But sheesh, I am so out of shape!
