Flab Redux Day 4

Did you exercise today? What did you do?

Elliptical for 1 hour, 4.45 miles, 602 calories burned. Then "The Social Network" was on as the movie in the Cardio Cinema and I caught it right at the beginning so I switched to the bicycle to finish watching the movie (6.41 miles, 35 min, 168 cal)

Wait....what is Cardio cinema? That sounds awesome!


Well, I met with a personal trainer today, who kicked my ass, by the way, and we started me on a weight lifting plan. She explained all the things I need to do to break this plateau. Turns out I was doing a couple things wrong and that I should be able to break through soon.

I am going to be doing full body weight training every other day with cardio every day (of course, I can take a rest day...but she wants me to shoot for the gym 5 times per week). Also, I wasn't doing interval training....just getting on the elliptical and going for an hour. She said that interval is how you keep your body from falling into a rut. Also, I need to switch up the cardio I am doing...so one day elliptical next day run on the treadmill, etc. etc.

I felt like a total marshmallow today. Her body was so toned and amazing and she is 51 years old. I was so impressed. I feel really motivated to break out of this plateau and get my body toned and in shape!

Highly recommend working with a personal trainer!

Yeah, it's a dark room at the gym with a big screen. They have ellipticals, treadmills and bicycles in there. It really helps me exercise longer.

Nothing today, I had a hair appt out of town, and got home just in time for the kids to get home from school. I have done well with my food though, so that is good.

I had Wendy's for lunch. Fail. LOL! I just started my period and am feeling miserable, plus Jordan was downtown at a "conference" getting treated to friggen Fogo De Chao for lunch. I was feeling sorry for myself and went for the comfort food, which I KNOW is not a solution, so of course now I feel guilty for doing it and sabotaging myself. ::sigh:: This sucks. It's 2011, why isn't there a safe skinny pill by now? LOL!
