- Spent over 4 hours in the pool today.
I did a few laps, but mostly did aerobic exercises in the water when I wasn't busy playing with the kids.
- 4 miles on the Nordic Track.
Over 1200 calories burned, might I add, in less than an hour, to boot! According to the Nordic Track I burned 1200, but according to this calculator here, I burned almost 1500. Nice :) BTW that calculator is wonderful for almost every exercise you can think of! Random: I sooo want one of these.
- 150 regular crunches
I am kind of looking forward to my break tomorrow from crunches :)
- 50 reverse crunches
Mhm, done & done.
- 50 bicycle crunches
Ouch, these bad boys hurt.
- 20 REAL push ups
Did it, and it wasn't easy. I've never been able to do REAL pushups before! This was definitely the hardest part of my whole workout.
- 30 Day Shred
Done. I only did Level 1 because I didn't see a need to go all out since I did so much other exercising besides the DVD.
Other accomplishments for the day:
- Took my vitamins & supplements
Fish Oil, Super B complex, Chromium, Multi vitamin
- Consumed 120 ounces of water
I have started tracking my water & this is the most I've had since tracking began last week.
- Woke up at 9 & will be in bed by 1:30
No problem, I am exhausted! Andrew is working late tonight so I am not waiting up for him. I am taking a shower and headed off to dreamland. Looking forward to a solid 8 hours of sleep & getting up at a respectable time tomorrow!
- No soda.
Easyyyy! I do sometimes miss soda, but when I think about what is more important, health or soda, well - soda always loses.
In addition to all of those things, I also was very careful about what I ate. I wasn't nearly as hungry because of all the water I was drinking, but I forced myself to eat one thing, even if it was just some fruit or a piece of cheese or something, every 3 hours. I didn't go crazy at dinner time, and I haven't had any late night snacks, either. I'm proud!
I am looking forward to an easy day tomorrow. I only need to do 4 miles+ on the Nordic Track. I am taking a break from all other exercises tomorrow. All my goals & accomplishments are still going to HOPEFULLY be fulfilled, but so far so good!

Wow, you do really good! It's amazing! I love pool exercises, I use the water weights, that's how I lost 50 pounds 2 years ago. That ring is so cool.
ReplyDeleteI love your calculator...it says 65 min on the elliptical kills 1,065 calories! But since it doesn't take speed, resistance, or incline into consideration, how can it be accurate?
ReplyDelete@Weight&Stuff I love pool exercises too! Swimming is such an amazing way to tone your arms, along with pretty much everything else. I even looked into some exercises I can start doing in the water in addition to what I do now. It's hard to do laps because it's the pool that everyone in my apartment complex uses & now that kids are on vacation, you can't get a clear shot from one end of the pool to the other. I do a lot of jumping around in the water with the kids. I will do pushups on the side of the wall, and various leg exercises since I can do those with ease and people won't really know what I'm doing, haha! I soo want that ring!
ReplyDelete@ Laurin, I don't know, that's why I mentioned that the Nordic Track's results were very different. But it does give you a decent idea, I think.
