Well this week didn’t start off well. Sunday was my rest day and as I stated in my last post I lost 2.5 lbs. Monday (Memorial day) was suppose to be my leg day and I procrastinated all day til the day was over and the workout was not completed ๐ฆ Therefore, I told myself that tomorrow (Tuesday) was going to be a bitch because I was going to have to add the missed workout on top on the days workout planned! So Tuesday is going to look like a long workout because, well, it was! On my weigh in on Sunday, 6/1, I lost 1 lb. God, the pounds coming off are moving so slowly!!!!!!!!!! I need to remind myself not to put a lot of value on the scale and to go by how I feel and I can definitely say I feel stronger. I feel it but I can’t say I see the results yet. I guess the weight loss would be one of the results that is paying off, but my diet is also a big part of that. I am eating really clean. Drinking lots of water!! Fruits and veggies have become my friend. I can say I have cut out sugar and pretty much decreased my sodium intake substantially. You can do all the training you want but if you don’t eat right, you will never see the benefits of your hard work in the gym. Exercise and nutrition go hand in hand. Got to do them both!!! So here is my workout for the week. Pretty much the same as last week with some few changes.

The first four weeks are done!! I made it through Phase 1. In the original workouts there are lunges and hyperextensions for the back. Since I have bad knees (5 surgeries) and a bad back (Double low back fusion) I have to side step these exercises and look for alternate movements. Go to bodybuilding.com and look up Jamie Easons LIVEFIT workout for the EXACT workout plan.
It’s been awhile since I have recorded any of my workouts. To be honest, I slipped off the workout wagon and enthralled myself back into the world of gaming. Not good. I went on Facebook yesterday and pretty much declared to all my friends and family that today was going to be the day I change all that. I joined Weight Watchers to help with food tracking. I am back on my incline trainer, which felt really good today. I also bought an app from apple called Tony Gonzalez FitStar. Tony Gonzalez is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s only missed two games in his 17 year career. On my down days from my incline trainer, I will be using his program.
Today’s workout was through Times Square. Below is a picture I took from my NordiTrack X9i screen. You can see how nice it is to workout having a street view of the area your are in. The picture changes, it does not stay on just one shot. It moves throughout your workout. Like watching a slow video. Pretty cool!
Anyway today’s workout was 2.55 miles (no running, just walking)
5 minutes -1.0 – 0 incline
5 minutes 5% incline
5 minutes 10% incline
5 minutes 5% incline
5 minutes 10% incline
5 minutes 12% incline
5 minutes 15% incline
5 minutes 10% incline
5 minutes 5% incline
5 minutes 10% incline
5 minutes 15% incline End of program

Slow time, but it’s all about small steps in the right direction!
Gives me a starting point and goals to shoot for ๐
