Manic Weigh In Monday: Day 28 + Spinning

Hey NeverEver's!

I have to say...there is a reason why I avoided spin. I watched them all spinning on the bikes that go no where. Listened to the instructor say 'Turn the knob a turn and half, We will be feeling it this song' and watched while the people come out drenched but still smiling!

While watching I always said 'That is to hard' or 'You aren't at that level yet, workout some more and then you can go to that class'. Well today I decided I was tired of listening to that inner voice telling me I couldn't do it yet.

So before I was able to talk myself out of it, and I am a good talker outer, I signed myself up for Spin at 24 Hour Fitness. And to MAKE sure I went I made sure everyone who follows me on twitter knew I was going...I wasn't going to back out now that there was 'internet pressure' on me!

Well the results were in someways exactly what I thought it would be...VERY FREAKING HARD!! But I made it through. Only stopping 2x, and that was to get more water and I only went during a 'Water Break'. That is where you sit in the 'saddle' and drink water while still spinning. I wasn't always able to stay out of the 'saddle' but I made sure if I sat my rump down I still moved my legs!

I am proud to say that when I walked out of the class I was one of those 'drenched but still smiling' people!

Anyways back to my Weigh In Day!

Have to say...I didn't lose a pound last week. Although I really am not surprised as I was dealing with some lawyer issues and was traveling all over So. Cal. i have to say that I am more proud of the fact that I didn't GAIN any weight! Now that is something to celebrate!!

Here is my stats for Monday;

Not a bad day

I will say I am disappointed that I didn't hit my Calories Burned Target. But there is always tomorrow, and tomorrow is Les Mils Body Pump!

So I wanted to add a new thing here for Manic Weigh In Monday's...that is my weekly schedule, or what I am planning on doing! Here it is

• Tuesday: Les Mils Body Pump, followed by 45 minutes on a cardio machine, not sure which one though
• Wednesday: There is a new class called H.I.I.T or (High Intensity Interval Training) which I want to try. If there is no post on Wednesday night it means I didn't survive the class ^_^. Also looking for a new job, yay fun!
• Thursday: I really want to do a Zumba day for Thursday, but it depends on the H.I.I.T class. I might make this day a walk in the park day!
• Friday: My Wonderful Day of Rest!
• Saturday: Also a sorta day of rest as the Hubby and I use this as our day together
• Sunday: Gym workout with a buddy, never know what I will be doing ^_~

Okay NeverEver's, so what do you think about the 'Weekly Schedule'? What are your plans for this weeks work out? 

Have a good night NeverEver's! 

Day 6: Gym and Walk

Hey NeverEver's!

How was your Sunday? I hope some of you were watching the Olympics 2012. I loved watching the Team USA Woman's Beach Volleyball. Man did they look awesome and play an even better game. It made me want to head out to the beach, and I am NOT a beach person!

Okay so I am REALLY proud of myself today and what I have been able to do. As you know yesterday I was out all night at the Oban Festival and then to a friends house to play some video games, yes yes I play video games. But I went home at a not so decent time just to make sure I would wake up for my Gym Date and head to the Downtown L.A 24Hour Fitness.

So I get to the gym and he pushes me and I push him...until we get to the final cardio...20 minutes on a Stationary Bike. We choose this because the rowers are for once taken and we want to see the 400m Swimming on NBC Olympics 2012. Let me say this...those 20 minutes were hell on my @ss! I am only 4'11" and the seat was ALL the way down for my short legs and it still wasn't right. I should have never stayed on it...but since I was on...well I was going to finish that last 20 minutes!

After the gym I head home, work on this wonderful blog a little bit, played some Zelda Skyward Sword with the Hubby, ate some Subway...and felt like I had so much energy! After thinking about it...and EVEN considering going to the gym for a 2nd time today...I decided that I wanted to go walk!

And here is the result of everything I did today!

Very Proud of myself today!

So NeverEver's are you happy with how your Sunday went? Is there something you will be doing better next time? Something you want to do again?

That is it for now NeverEver's!

Workout of the Day: Friends Day

Hey NeverEver's!

As you know I went to have dinner with a friend...but he is also my gym buddy! So before dinner we kicked our larger then life @sses at 24 Hour Fitness!

So because my Muscles are still recovering from my major Body Pump exercise on Tuesday, we did some hardcore cardio today.

• 20 minutes on the Rowing Machine

followed by

• 45 minutes on the elliptical 

I would like to point out that without my Darling there at the gym with me...I never would have survived, or thought I could survive, a 45 minute elliptical session! So if you can NeverEver's take a buddy with you to the gym! They push you harder then you thought you could go!


Here is the stats:

Even with my dinner still burning in excess of 890!

 So NeverEver's go out and get a buddy to exercise with! Its easier when you are having fun!
