Nothing to say

I've been lacking words lately. There's a lot going on in my head. I need to take some time to get my head on straight. I'm still trying to workout and next week I'm going to try and get to the gym more.

From A New Day to STRESS! Amazing how we go from ready to really work hard to a week full of stress, and too many things to do with no time to do it. No gym, but I did bike.

The end of the week I haven't been getting enough sleep and I've slacked off a lot. I have been paying attention to what I'm eating though.
This evening I hope to do some more ab workouts, now that I know where my heavier weights are.

Well folks I did it! I biked from to Baseline! Total 9.1 km / 5.7 miles in 35 minutes!
It was hard, but it was beautiful on the Woodroffe bike path! And I can't believe it didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would. I was so early for work even with showering there. The second part of this goal is to bike home, but now that I've done it once I don't think that will be a problem.

My arms and back are definitely feeling yesterday's workout, which is great! It means I worked hard yesterday in that short period of time.
I'm looking forward to next week and really getting into my new routine. Tomorrow I'll be working on cardio and abs.

Thursday I worked 12-8 so I didn't go to bed at a decent time and couldn't get up early. Friday night my daughter ended up with the flu, so I didn't get to do my Walk the Micah Road Walk-a-thon. In fact I didn't do much of anything, except yell and scream all weekend due to lack of sleep. Sunday night I was packing my gym bag and getting everything all set. It was later than usual, but I was still going to get up early. My daughter got sick again and I ended up on the couch with her most of the night.
This morning I procrastinated so much. I hit snooze a bunch of times. When I did finally get up I ended up poking around Facebook looking at pictures. I finally left and went to the gym. I got there at 6:30 and worked out for 30 minutes.
I walked to work and showered there, which I'm going to start doing from now on. I'll miss the sauna, but at least I won't have to fight for the shower. And it gives me some extra time since I'm already at the office.
Biking: 4 miles
Elliptical: 0.45 miles / 73 cal / 5 min / L8
Seated Row: 70 lbs x 8 reps I thought I could do it...instead I did...55 lbs x 4 sets
Elliptical: 0.23 miles / 32 cal / 2 min / L8
Lateral Pull Down: 70 lbs x 3 sets (I felt it in my back while working out and set 3 killed!)
Chest Press: 55 lbs x 3 sets
I now have a goal. A real, tangible goal with a date. My little sister's birthday is June 30th. She is trying to lose weight and tone up. Meeting a goal is easier when you have someone else striving to reach the same/similar goal.
Goal Date:
- June 26th
Objectives:
- To workout 5-6 times/week with at least 3 of those as heavy workouts at the gym
Goal Weight:
- To be in the 230 lb range I'm aiming for somewhere between 230-235
I am contemplating biking to Baseline bus station to catch the bus in the morning. It's a 5.7 miles trek one way. I'm scared! It's a long trek at least for me. I know I can do it. So, here is the idea for my new workout schedule for the next 7 weeks:
Day 1: Upper Body
Day 2: Biking 11.4 miles
Day 3: Abs
Day 4: Biking 11.4 miles
Day 5: Lower Body
Tomorrow is trial day. I'll let you know how the biking goes.
