Day 2 - Accomplished a lot!

This morning started off slow and I didn't know if I would make it to the gym, or not. I managed to make it and I was very glad that I did. It feels good to start my day off by exercising. I plan to go in the mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Monday's I will go sometime between 9 and Noon. Then, on Wednesdays, I will go after work at 1pm. This will be my schedule for now, until something changes.

I also decided that on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I would concentrate more on my cardio. On Mondays & Wednesdays, I will concentrate more on my legs and upper body. I have no idea if this is the right way to exercise, but I do better with a "routine", so this is what I will go with for now.

Yesterday, when I was at the gym, I looked on the cinema schedule (Yes... they have a cinema!) to see what movies were playing this week. Today the movie "The Social Network" was playing and then on Thursday, the movie "Red" is playing. Both are movies that I have been wanting to see! So yesterday, I made plans to use the treadmill & elliptical machines in the cinema on these two days. I know that I won't see each movie in it's entirity, but I will at least see part of each one and then I can decide if they are worth renting.

I took my Exercise Log with me that I made and I wrote down each thing that I did along with the times, weights, and other info. 

First.... in the cinema... I walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes. Then, I worked out on the elliptical machine for another 15 minutes. --- By the way... "The Social Network" intrigued me, so I will most likely be renting it to see the whole movie!

Next, I used the abdominal machine and did 3 sets of 10 reps using the 50 lb weight.
Next, I used the back extension machine and did 3 sets of 15 reps using the 65 lb weight.
Last, I used the torso rotation machine and did 3 sets of 15 reps using the 50 lb weight.

By then, it was 8:00am and time for me to head to the locker room and get ready for work. I am thankful that I have a job where I can wear comfortable clothes!!

I also checked my pedometer and wrote down how many steps that I had taken. It read 3965. (3205 of those steps were aerobic steps) I had burned 122 calories and walked  1.5 miles.

A few weeks ago, David bought me a really nice pedometer that will let me download the info to my computer and keep track of my progress! I love it!

I got home today about 2:00pm. I checked my pedometer again and it read 8009!! (The 3205 stayed the same)

I sure hope I see a difference on the scale in the morning!
