Exercise... Exercise

I've decided that I am going to share, in addition to my success and failures, what I happen to stick in my mouth every day and also what & how much physical activity I do for the day. I'm really hoping that this will really help me keep accountable to myself (and everyone else who may be reading this!)

So far my workouts are pretty much the same. My "coach" at the YMCA has me on a set routine to just get accustomed to physical activity (that makes me sound really pathetic!). So, my daily routine (until he decides to change it) is:

Treadmill-
5 minutes at 2.7 (warm up)
15 minutes at 3.1
5 minutes at 2.7 (cool down)

Bike-
5 minutes warm up
20 minutes 50-65 (speed)
5 minutes cool down


Eliptical- (my nemesis!)
10 minutes (it actually isn't as bad as I remember it from a few years ago, my legs don't feel like they are going to fall off 2 minutes into it!)

Walking-
2 laps around the track at a slow pace
2 laps around the track at a medium pace
2 laps around going fast (arms at 90 degrees and hoofing it) on the straight aways and take the curves at a slow pace)

Lunges-
2 sets of walking lunges (roughly 8 all together)

I've only been doing it for a few days but I really feel like I can push myself a little more. However, for now I am going to stick with Craig's plan (unless he will let me up it?!).

I did step on the scale today while at the Y and I noticed that I am now down to 200.8. I'm not too excited about that yet though because different scales measure differently. I'll need to make a trip back over to my in-laws to use their scale (since mine is broken :( ). Maybe I'll see about investing in a good-quality scale this weekend!
