Eldaweesda's Diary

I know I didn't post yesterday. Just too busy.

Yesterday was a cardio day for me. I worked from 9-12pm then I worked out at the gym at 3:30 till 4:30. I jogged for 20min at 5.0mph then I did 25 min on the AMT Precor machine level 6 for a total of 45min. My legs were killing me by the time I finished as they were still sore from my weight training the day before. I didn't go for a power walk in the evening because by the time we sat down to eat dinner it would have been too late and I didn't want to miss the Biggest Loser as its almost to the end.

Is it just me being insensitive or what? I am so sick of watching those two brothers Mark and Jay bawling!!!!! I think one of the girls is gonna win. Next week is the last week so we will see.

I worked again today so I have to go back to the gym at 4pm to do my upper body weight training. I will post later on perhaps after our power walk.


Go Blue!!!!
 
I am sick of it too. I thought it was sweet when they used to cry...and now its like... ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? They are the only 2 left that actually have their original "partners". Everyone else went through the loss... you can deal. You'll see him in a week or 2 anyways. JEEZUS!!!!
 
I did my upper body work out last night and managed to jog in intervals for 30min. I also did my 3km power walk. My legs were still fatigued from my lower body weight training on Monday. Today I am taking the day off from exercise as my legs are KILLING ME!!!!!:cuss: I have a personal training appointment this afternoon with my husband and my trainer. He wants to start incorporating weight training into his lifestyle change. While he is learning his new routine, I may jog on the treadmill. It just depends on the fatigue I feel in my legs and how bored I get watching him. He asked me to go with him as this will be his first experience in a gym setting and he is very nervous that he is going to look ignorant. Silly guy! I told him, people are not judging him, they are happy to see new members trying to better themselves! And if there are people judging him, Karma will get them in the end!:iagree:

Have a great day everyone!:seeya:
GO BLUE TEAM!!!!
 
I'd be scared to get into the gym setting too. I don't have the money for a gym membership, and I think I'd want my boyfriend to come with me for support. Don't get me wrong... the MOMENT I have the extra money for it... I will go with or without him!! lol. You have been an exercise machine!! And its definitely paying off for you! Keep it up! And I hope the next time you do the lower body routine it won't hurt as much! But you know what they say... No pain, no gain. ((I personally like to ignore that! lol.))
 
I totally agree about the BL sob fest..lol I mean, you'd have thought they were sending someone to their death or something the way they were ALL carrying on. :rolleyes:

Work it girl, work it! :hurray:

I don't have a bad back, so can manage those planks. I'm going to start doing them several days a week and see if I can work up to a minute. :D

Good luck at the weigh in tomorrow!
 
They tried to get me to work today as someone called in sick, but I couldn't miss my last chance workout. Yesterday, I didn't do any exercise at all as my legs decided enough was enough!:cry: So I felt bad because the daycare was absolutely swamped with screaming babies and they only had 3 workers on instead of the usual 4 (because I couldn't fill in) but I had Doctor appt. as well at 11am so I just had to so "Sorry, can't come in!":(

So today I did my upper body work out again!:willy_nilly: my legs are still pissed off and I felt they couldn't handle the stairs again. I talked to my trainer and she said she only does one day a week of weight training on her legs as well, and not to worry about it. I did the usual jog at 5.0mph in 5 min intervals between weight sets. On my last 2 intervals of 5min I ran at 6.0mph for 1min at the end and 2min at the end. That surprised me that I was able to do that:hurray: Watch my legs go on strike again!!!!:cuss:

When I got home from the gym and weighed myself I had a pleasant surprise! DOWN 2LB!:D So I am extremely happy with that. So I guess it is true, no pain no gain!:biggrinjester:

Brandy, thanks for your support. Believe me if I hadn't been offered the job at the gym I probably still wouldn't be going as I was paying $98 a month $50 membership and $48 childcare for 2 kids. Now I get my membership free and my husband so the perks are fabulous. And because I work there now, I almost feel like I have to fit into the health club mold and the company does expect it's employees to have a healthy lifestyle. I'm very lucky that I had this opportunity just fall into my lap.

BB -- glad to see your determined to keep at the planks. They do get easier with time and they are such a good core exercise! Good luck with the weigh in today!
GO BLUE TEAM!!!
 
Hey Elda! CONGRATS on the awesome loss! You're kicking butt with your workouts, and I'm so impressed! Get the hubby to the gym - just remind him that he's there for his own benefit, not someone else's. Everyone starts at some point. :) Have a great weekend!
 
Up early this morning!:banghead: I have to jump and scream to get my kids up on a weekday but for some stupid reason, they ALWAYS!!!!! get up about 1 hour before my alarm on the weekends and wake me up to serve them breakfast. I need new kids!!!! I can't wait until they are teenagers! I am gonna get them back big time!:smilielol5:

Today I went with the gym with hubby and he finally got some weight training routines from my trainer. He was very fatigued by the time we left, so he had a good work out. I chose to do cardio and keep an I on him to make sure my trainer wasn't killing him! He has never been an active person so I was quite worried that he might faint or pass out from exertion! :bigear:

I am off to buy new running shoes today! My legs are still feeling the pain from jogging and I am sure its because my Nikes are 1 year old. Time to stop being cheap and get some new gear.

Thanks for stopping by Brandy and Heather. Your encouragement is much appreciated.:Angel_anim:
GO BLUE TEAM!!!!
 
Way to Go on the exercise!! You are in the lead this week for the BLUE TEAM. Be proud girl!! Have fun finding new shoes!!
 
Happy Sunday everyone!

I got my new runners yesterday. I got a buy one get one 1/2 off, so I got two pairs, one for outside and one for the gym. I bought Saucony, and I hope they help with my sore legs. I counted back and my Nikes were about 1 year old, No wonder my legs were sore!!! With my weight they probably broke down after 6 months!!!!:toetap05:

My legs are still trying to recover, so today I am taking the day off. I might go for a power walk after dinner, we will see. Tomorrow is personal training day and I will be working on my upper body. So hopefully, I won't be too sore on Tuesday. Well, gotta go I have 5 loads of stinky laundry to do!:(

Bye for now, Til tomorrow:waving:
 
I have about 5 loads of laundry to do as well!!! I need to get on that. My legs have also been really sore lately. Acutually..its more of a "Tight" behind my calfs. I have done so much step aerobics that they kill the next morning!!

Have a great day today!!!
 
Woohoo for new kicks! Sorry to hear about your incredibly sore legs! Hopefully with the new sneaks, you'll be feeling less pain!!

Yesterday must have been national 'do more than 4 loads of laundry day'. I spent the majority of my day doing 5 loads of laundry as well! I don't even have the excuse of kids, just a fiance who lets his laundry go wayyyyy too long. (And an anal retentive streak that makes me take charge of his laundry sometimes!!)
 
Today started out to be a great day. Got my son to school and went to my 8:30am training appointment. We worked on a new routine for my upper body, and it is equally killer as the lower body was. As soon as I finished I went to my local grocery store and bought some Advil for muscle pain!!!:cuss:
TOM is on his way and I had a sugar slip up last night and went out and bought some Cinnamon Buns.:sifone: I just had to give into the craving this time. And now I am making more! I am a glutton for punishment aren't I! Now I will have to really work my butt off to get rid of the extra 300 cal from last night and who knows how many I'll eat tonight!:angelsad2:

I have had a very upsetting afternoon and with the PMS and this tragedy I feel like eating a bucket of sugar!! My mom called this afternoon to let me know that my cousin Darcie (female) kids were murdered by their father a couple of days ago. The first I heard of it was on the news last night and my husband and I couldn't believe that someone could do that to their kids. Apparently, my cousin went for a walk to the store, 5 min away and left her children (we are not sure if she left them alone or with the father) when she came back she found all three of her children on the couch with their throats and wrists slit and their faces all cut up and written on the wall was something in their blood. They were 9, 7, and 5. Their father has had mental and alcohol problems and he used to beat her and she had been living apart from him for the past year. I guess he decided that if he couldn't be with his kids that she wouldn't either. Sick! He is currently on the loose, I don't know where my cousin is but she must be a wreck. We live about 4 hours apart and I wish I could go up to comfort her, but frankly I don't think I could handle seeing her pain. So now I just sit by the phone and my mom will update me with how I can help, If Possible?

Sorry, to be such a depressing person today. I think I will go for a walk with my hubby and try to release some tension. I hope everyone else is having a better day than me!
 
I'm very sorry to hear that. It put me in tears as soon as I read that. I am still young, but I've been thinking all day how badly I want children. And I just really feel for your cousin. I hope someone finds him. SOON. She should be careful herself.

Eat that cinnamon bun, go on your walk... just take it easy. You've had quite a day.
 
Still depressed today. I found out more about the murder of my cousins kids. It turns out the father had it planned all along. He must be a psychopath. I know more details about what really happened. Unfortunately, the media has the details all wrong. I'm glad I know that my cousin is safely in a hospital, under guard and sedated. Sorry, I cannot let you all know what really happened until they catch this man, as it could jeopardize the case they are building against him. I sure hope they catch him cause it seems that he had been planning this heinous act for over 1 year (the amount of time they lived apart) and he has a two day head start on the police. I am taking the day off from exercise again, and I have been binging on my homemade cinnamon buns, (god they are good!) I will probably be up on the scale this coming Friday. I will get motivated again soon, maybe tomorrow.

Take care everyone , tomorrow is another day.


Go blue
 
Take a nice, hot, bath with scented candles, and relaxing music. Maybe throw some lavender or eucalyptus scented bubbles in there. Take it easy.
 
OMG! That is just horrible! I'm so sorry for you and your family--especially your poor cousin! :hug2: I cannot imagine how anyone could do that to their own kids. What a psychopathic bastard. I hope they catch him soon. :cuss:

Take it easy, girl. At a time like this, a bit of naughty eating is certainly excusable. :)
 
Well, I'm up a pound but that's no surprise with TOM making a painful appearance and the fact that I have not kept up my work out routine for the last 4 days. I just can't seem to get motivated as I am consumed with my family tragedy. I actually went to the gym yesterday morning after I dropped my son off at school and just as I was getting my iPod ready to go over to the elliptical to do some cardio, the FIRE ALARM went off. Just my luck, so we all filed out of the building. The fire dept didn't come for 10 min and it was freezing outside. I figured by the time they cleared the building it would be 45min of standing outside so I decided to come back later. But of course by the time the afternoon rolled around I had talked myself out of going back. Today I woke up with a head cold and just couldn't make it there. God I sure am a wreck!!!

I've decided to take it easy this weekend and rest up to start over this Monday and hopefully I can get back to regular exercise.

I hope the Blue team kicks butt this weigh in , sorry I couldn't help with the numbers. Have a good weekend everyone. Thanks for the support Brandy and Kim.

Bye for now.
 
Jeez. No good luck for you these past few days. Well, take it easy. Lots of fluids, and feel better! *hugs* We still love you.
