Day 11

Okay, I'm getting my days mixed up because stupid blogger isn't working right. I posted a couple of times and they haven't shown up in the correct order that I posted them and it is really annoying...

Oh well



Today was AWESOME! Daddy came home early from school so I could go do homework at the library. Well when he got here I decided that I would go to the gym first and then to the library. See, it snowed today. That means that it was WAY to cold to go exercise outside, especially with my babies.

So I got my shorts and sweatshirt on and jogged to the gym. I was actually really proud of myself that I jogged for as long as I did. Normally I don't jog because I am scared of hurting my knee, but it felt really good this time! I had to stop after 3 blocks though because it was SOOOOOOOOOOO windy!!! I couldn't breathe! It was awful! The wind was going straight through my sweatshirt and I was freezing. Then it started to snow. I really felt like a retard because here I am walking around with shorts on in the snow! Duh! ha ha

When I got to the gym, got my wristband I was feeling pretty good. I had my warm-up and I was ready to go.

*Disclaimer* I really have no idea how accurate the measurements for calories lost are, but I am going to pretend that they are spot on.

I started with the elliptical machine and did it for 15 minutes, ran 0.71 miles, and burned 145 calories. This really killed my thighs and calves. ha ha when I got off and walked to get a drink of water it was really weird. I could hardly move :-) I actually felt like I had just stepped off a moving sidewalk and was like floating. You know the feeling? It was so weird

Then I did this oblique twister machine. You sit down on the stool with your knees hugging some pads and your arms at 90 degree angles and you twist your torso. That was cool and I twisted 30 pounds 50 times.

Next I went to the stationary bike, because I was hoping to get a bun work-out. It burned my thighs more that my rear, but thats still good. I biked 2.89 miles, burned 189 calories, and did it for 11 minutes. I only did it for that long because I was scared that someone was going to take this other really cool machine I saw and wanted to use (ha ha) which was another stationary bike with your feet out in front, instead.

Here is a picture of the bike.



I'm guessing that it was a lot easier on my knees. And I LOVED to use it! On this machine I biked for 35 minutes, burned 117 calories, and biked for 6.46 miles! It was awesome!

So here are my stats for the day:
Minutes on machines- 61
Miles moved- 10.6!
Calories burned- 451!

Pretty awesome! I would venture to say that today was very successful. And I had a BLAST while doing it!
Thanks Honey for taking over for the evening, when can I go again?? ;-)
