This is day two in the newly started exercise/diet regime for myself, Greyson and Jan. All have sworn an oath to becoming all they can be. For myself, I am trying to gain some muscle. Greyson has fat loss on his agenda. I believe my mother is in the weight/fat loss category.
I have successfully lifted weights and performed 20 minutes of cardio every day this week (I know it is only Tuesday). I normally let Ada pull me up the first big hill during our morning run, but today I made her heel and ran to the top on my own accord.
Greyson has blamed his limited exercising and weight lifting on lack of sleep. I think he is just lazy because I manage to roll out of bed thirty after he leaves for work and excercise just fine. (I have finally trained him to close all doors and turn off all lights so I can sleep after he leaves for work.) Our frenzied Halo arena transformation has also kept us up too late.
If anyone wants to join with us in some sort of program or just needs some moral support/accountability then let us know. Please let us know any goals (body fat % etc.) that you are trying to reach.

oh my gosh, that just begs for a response. That's pretty funny Ada pulled me up the hill too. Well, at least someone is getting some decent excercise. Dang that hurt this morning. I hadn't done any significant cardiovascular for a couple of weeks. Ouch. My lungs burned terribly. Ada was getting so bored.
I didn't have limited weight lifting at all. I lifted very intensely, but not all of the lifts. Given it has been a few weeks since I last lifted, I was shot by the end of the second excercise. By the way, I need to advise those that have started this routine fresh off of the couch-During, the first week or two, go easy. I am in no way responsible for arrests arythmias, or a really sore chest.
Mel, you're such a turd. Trained? We need to train you not to bug me after I have said goodnight. What do you say to that???
Yes, people, we have my most fabulous, most favorite, most flab flaming routine. I've returned to it time and again. It's a pure strength routine based on intensity and sufficient rest. If you are in need of a very effective lifting routine, let me know, and I'll email you an excel doc. i'm going to ask everyone's email in another post anyways.
I got a much better sleep last night. With the inevitable barrage of barking neighbor dog,kneady siamese, groaning ridgeback, and whistling from the 200M Breastroke, I retreated downstairs to the guest bedroom. It took a while to drift off, but once I did, there was no interruption to speak of. I woke up refreshed, and had a great workout. In all, I've been much more consistent with my diet than weightlifting, but I am getting decent aerobic and anaerobic excercise daily. I still need to climb out of bed a little earlier, and I've been trying to get to bed at 8:30. Until this week, I have felt shorted on sleep-around 6 hours or so daily. It really started to burn me after a while.
Funny thing... I got much better sleep too. After my hubby left I took the left side of the bed and Quark had the right. Ada had her head on a pillow that was laying on the floor next to the bed. Even the neighbor dog slept last night. My husband may sleep downstairs permenantly.
So anyways...we picked up a dips, pull-up, Roman chair (the hanging one where you lift your knees for ab workouts) station yesterday. I've been wanting a machine that works the lats, but I like pull-ups more than lat pull-downs. I'm really impressed with it. Not really any moving parts,and it's solid. I had a good chest workout today, although the bench collapsed underneath me during benchpress and I slid backwards towards the floor. Glad it was during warm-up and not when I had some real weight on there. Diet faltered a little during the weekend, but I've certainly been worse in the past.
The bench collaped!! I just thought that you left it in that position to show me that we could do declines now.
