Today after I got done working out, I thought to myself that I should also start taking measurements to keep track of them once a month as I lose weight. So I found a tape measure and measured all the places that need measured, such as bust, waist, hips, thigh, upper arm. And when I got done and looked at the numbers that I wrote down in a little notebook, I was like Yikes!! That's a lot of big numbers!! And the sad thing is, you really can't blame them on the tape measure, because unlike scales that can fluctuate from scale to scale, an inch is an inch is an inch. Crud! lol Of course now I have to remember exactly where I measured so that I measure there every month so I can make sure I get an accurate reading. I thought about using a Sharpie and just marking myself but then figured it would probably be better if I just remembered. And boy do I hope the numbers go down.
I have to admit that yesterday was the first day I exercised since I have been home from California, but in my defense ( of course I have one!) there has been no AC in the building where I work and so when I get home I just feel so drained from the heat all I want to do is sit down and enjoy my home's AC. Now admittedly, Friday I probably should have (ok, I definetely should have) exercised because I got an unexpected afternoon off but instead I took a nice nap and then did a little shopping and then to Salad Creations for dinner. Oh well, at least I had salad for dinner.
Yesterday I did spend 45 minutes on the treadmill and also intervals of the Golds Gym and lifting weights. And today the same thing, though only 40 minutes on the treadmill. I have increased my speed on it too, not that I am ever going to run on it or anything. Walking is one thing, but running.....yuck. Even in my Marine Corps days I never liked to run so I can't imagine liking it now.
So for the rest of the week.....I am really hoping we have AC tomorrow. But if we don't, I guess I will just have to force myself to come home and work out. Of course, I do have grocery shopping to do after work..... ;>)
If you have your treadmill on an incline and are going a faster speed you don't need to walk quite as long. Of course, it would be great if you could actually increase your time. Listen to me, I don't get on my treadmill at all. Oopsie!! Keep up the good work, I know you can do it!
