Yes!

I did it!! 35 mins on the demon & a 5 min cool down. I'm very excited. I really think I'll surpass my goal. Once I reach the goal of 1 hour on level 1, I'll have to set a new one! Maybe 1 hour at level 2?? Won't that be something??

30!

Well, this week I've worked up to 30 mins on the "demon", on level 1. Worked out with my trainer today. We ab work today. When I go to the gym tomorrow, I'm going to try to make it 35 mins. I hoping to add 5 mins every week. Step aerobics is still kicking my butt, but it is getting a little easier. My walking buddies were not available this week. I think doing different a type of exercise daily, is keeping me from getting bored.

Work this week will probably be stessfull, it's board meeting week, and I may have the name of my new boss. We'll see...

25!

On Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday I did my 20 mins. on the elliptical. I walked on Monday & Wednesday after work; and on Tuesday and Thursday I did step aerobics. Today (Friday) I took a vacation day, so I took Alex to school then went to the gym. Well, I did 25 minutes on the elliptical today!! I was so happy! I just wanted to walk up to people and say, "25!". Of course they wouldn't know (or care) what I was talking about, but I was excited!! Tomorrow morning is personal trainer day, I wonder what torture Brandon has on the schedule?!?! Stay tuned...

Elliptical Demon

When I started working out, I tried all the machines in the gym to get a feel for them. The elliptical machine & I did not get along after about 2 minutes! So that is the demon that I plan to conquer! I started adding a couple of minutes each time I worked out. yesterday was the first time I made it 20 minutes!! Kicked my butt, but I did it. I worked at lunch today and did 20 minutes. My goal is to be at one hour by August 31st. Wish me luck!!

This is my first blog. Not sure how long I'll keep it up, but I'm going to try. Started working out in January (isn't that when we are supposed to?). It's been going pretty good so far. My co-workers started a "Biggest Loser" contest. I'm hoping to win the money, get healthy, & lose weight! A lot to ask for from one contest, but I'm determined. A friend of mine & I started working out with a personal trainer last week. It's hard, but I like it! I'm fortunate that my job offers exercise classes during the day. I've been attending aerobics classes during my lunch hours when my schedule allows. I'll use this blog to keep a record of my plight!
