Well, I got frustrated with my pedometer during my work out so yesterday so I took it off before I even finished LBJ and opted not to put it back on. I am going to wear it all day today though (I swear) since I am resting. I want to make sure I get those 10,000 steps in!
So I am thinking this is a classic case of "you get what you pay for" perhaps? My pedometer was clicking off steps when I wasn't even walking because I would do something that would move it in a certain way and it would think it was a step.
Should I go buy a better one or do you think it's not worth it? I could always aim for 10,500 steps just to be sure....
My Bowflex weights came y'day!!! Me and the fedex lady (yeah ofcourse, I get a LADY when it's a 126# box but any other time I get a man! Go figure.
) somehow managed to get the box up my front steps and into my house. We put it down right by the front door and there it stayed until DH came home and unpacked it for me.
They are soooo cool! I am soooo excited to work out tmrw!!!!
Jacque: Congrats on the 10,000 steps. I probably would not have made it y'day with out a decent amount of "help" either. My run y'day was just under 3 miles so it wasn't a big deal step wise. Before I got fed up and took off the pedometer, I was putting laundry away and instead of grabbing as much as I could at one time, I was only taking a few pieces so that I had an excuse to walk more!
Lori: Do you really find that doing more ab work makes a difference? I do ab work sporadically. Sometimes I do it alot (right now I seem to be on a little kick of doing it often) but lots of times, it only gets done a couple times a week if that. Ofcourse it makes a difference in the muscle strength/endurance but as far as the way my abs look....it's all about the food for me. A good diet is key or else any ab work I do is useless cause ya can't see 'em anyway.
Diana: So glad you had a good time visiting your GDs and your son. You DID go there to visit with your son too, right?
It was a rude awakening for me when I had Joey to find out that when you have a baby you are suddenly no longer important and everyone just wants to see your child. My ego didn't like that very much!
So y'day's work out was TJ Lower Body Jam, Kickin' Core's sculpting segment and ITread 19/30 mins. Good stuff. I really pushed it on the run and thought I'd fall over by the time it was done.
Today is a rest day but I'll be walking alot
. Tomorrow I will be doing a weight work out of some type. I'll probably opt for something ala Cathe. It'll give me more of an opportunity to utlize the new DBs since I'll have to change weight loads more often. I'm thinking maybe the pyramids...
Today is the first/last day I am working this week. I was only scheduled for tues/fri and I had to call out on tues b/c of my car...which by the way, we still don't have back. Hopefully today!!!! I am glad to be going to work today. I was getting quite bored being home so much.
I'm still stressing over childcare. I have about 15 days during the course of the year that I currently have no one to watch Joey if I were to go back to work. I can't accept a job in good conscience if I can't be sure Joey is taken care of.
Guess that's all for now. Off to get more coffee and peruse the forums...
BBL!!!
