CRACY, STRONG AND LOVING IT January 2016 - January 2020

I'm finally able to lift again so today I did Xtrain Chest, Back & Shoulders. I had a great workout, love this one. This is a great series and I'm excited to do it for the next couple weeks. I went a bit lighter than usual because I didn't want to irritate my upper back again.

One Arm Rotational Row - 16 reps - 20#
Side Leaning Lateral Raise - 16 reps - 5#

Push-Ups - 12, 10, 8 reps (all on toes)
Superman "Y" on Ball - Skipped
Lateral Raise w/10-20 Degree Tilt - 12, 10, 8 - 8's

Workout was 46 minutes, Avg HR was 119, Max was 191, burned 267 calories which shocked me. Happy with that calorie burn.

Then I did the 11 minutes Tabata workout on my treadmill to get my HR going and get in some steps. Avg HR was 142 and Max was 191. Burned 97 calories and went 1558 steps. Also went .75 miles.

At work so can't do personals. Hope you all have great workouts today!!!

Good Evening,

I shut my phone off last night and forgot to turn it back on so my alarm didn’t go off so no workout for me today. We got 2” of snow yesterday and supposed to get another 3” at least tomorrow. Good job today everyone.
 
Today I did Cardio Coach 3 and had an excellent workout even though I woke up with a really bad headache. I'm feeling better now, I think the running helped. Love this workout.

Workout was 40 minutes, ran 2.91 miles, burned 361 calories (TM said 381) and went 5828 steps. Avg HR was 147 and Max was 200.

Then I did the ab work from PUB. Love this one, however, I didn't do the inverted planks on the ball due to my upper back. Didn't want to irritate it. Instead, I just did crunch on the ball and felt every one of them. Great ab workout, love this one.

Roxie - OMG I hate when my alarm doesn't go off. That hasn't happened to me in a long time. I have an alarm clock that resets itself every morning after I press the button to turn it off. I don't even have to worry about setting it at night and I've never had it not work. I love that clock. Hope you can get a good workout in today.

Belinda - Nice workout yesterday!!

Nora - LOL, I'm glad the Eagles won, I think they deserved it. Sorry your Patriots didn't win, though. At least they got in the Superbowl, the Browns can't even win one game.

Debbie- Great workout today with Cardio Coach 3, that is a fun one. Nice stats and step counts truly inspiring, WTG! Love that you added ab work from PUB, that is some killer ab work, there good stuff,high fives!! Now go have a blessed Tuesday.:):cool::D

Then I walked on my treadmill for 1 mile, burned 133 additional calories, went 2483 steps. Avg HR was 115, Max 139.

Hope you all have great workouts today!!
 
Good Morning,

I did Rolling Hills on the treadmill for 35 minutes this morning. I have a doctors appointment this morning to figure out what to do. I hadn’t had any pain until Sunday night when I ate ice cream and then Monday was a really stressful day at work and the pain was horrible last night and then this morning I drank coffee with creamer and now I hurt again. They talked about surgery but I am not ready to go down that road.

Debbie-good job this morning. I have kind of lost my mojo this week.
 
Good morning girls:)

I just finished today's workout and will now check in.

Debbie- Awesome workout today with XTrain Bi's and Tri's and a 1 mile treadmill walk. You nailed it today, Bravo WTG!! Now go have a blessed & wonderful wednesday!:);):D

Roxie- Great workout today with Rolling Hills on the treadmill for 35 minutes this morning,WTG Bravo. Now regarding what you shared about being without pain then after eating ice cream there was pain, and had coffee with creamer today and there is pain. I know coffee is acidic so maybe that plays a role, not sure. I'd say it sounds like maybe dairy or type of sweetener is a possible issue. I know Silk brand has many non dairy things that taste like dairy. Maybe try Vanilla Silk Milk like product or see if Silk makes a creamer, and Ice cream. If so try it and see how you feel after that and make a note of what foods trigger pain and what ones do not. This would be what I would do before even considering surgery. This can most likely be managed by keeping notes on what foods work for you meaning no pain vs what ones do. Give it a try and see how you feel, and take care. Have a blessed day and feel better.:);)

Belinda- I hope you have a great workout and a blessed Wednesday!:);)

I just got home from doctor he thinks it’s still my gallbladder giving me problems and I have been taking my medication right so I am to change that and he also suggested the food diary that Nora also suggested and he will see me in August to see how it goes.
 
I thought I posted this morning? I did IMAX3 + SBF D31 Barre 11 this morning.

Roxie - hope the meds will help soon.

Nora - hope you have a great workout today.

Debbie - nice job this morning.
 
Today I did a custom workout I made up on the treadmill app I have - I called it "Jogs & Sprints", creative, huh? LOL! I think I thought I am superwoman or something when I made it up because it was tough. I will need to tweak it a bit. I find my endurance and stamina in running for long periods has greatly improved, but I had some intervals in this workout with no rest and that was a mistake. I had to walk for a few minutes during parts of the workout to catch my breath, but other than that, it went really well.

Workout was 47 minutes, went 3.54 miles, burned 415 calories and went 6993 steps. Avg HR was 146 and Max was 207.

I know my HR is higher with this new FB, I'm wondering if it is closer with accuracy than my Blaze was? I know I'm not hitting 207 bpm, I'd be dead, but I do think it is better than before. For instance, with the Blaze I was only in the 130's doing workouts like this, maybe reaching the 140's. I could always tell I was way higher than that. Let's face it, we have all worked out enough to know when we hit anaerobic status, right? I know when I'm pushing myself and my HR is way up there - I can feel it. When I'd look at my Blaze I would see 140 or 136. I knew that could not be right. Now when I'm doing a sprint, the end result is usually in the 160-170's. I think that is more accurate.

So anyways, had a great workout and my legs are sore right now. :)

Roxie - What is "rolling hills" on your treadmill? Where did you get that from? Also, your doctor won't see you again until August? WTH??? How can he say he thinks it's your gallbladder and then says he won't see you until August? I suggest you get another doctor, he sounds like a wack job. Your issues definitely sound food related. Nora's suggestions yesterday is what I was going to tell you. Stay away from dairy for a while and see if that helps. Drink almond milk (awesome stuff) and use coconut creamer in your coffee. It's hard to find, I can only find it in Heinens. I get the SO original https://www.mercadomagico.com/groce...MI-M_1vLiW2QIViR-GCh0HHQ4aEAQYAyABEgJWcPD_BwE - it has no sugars in it and is low in fat. Be careful on the alternative creamers out there, the flavored ones usually have high sugars and fat. Eliminate one thing at a time so you can figure out what is triggering your issues. So stay off the dairy for one week and see how you feel. If that doesn't alleviate your issues, try staying away from acidic products, and so on. See what is triggering your symptoms and keep a diary. Don't eliminate everything all at once because then you won't know what is triggering the symptoms. Hope this helps.

Have a great day and workouts everyone!!!

Have a great day and weekend!!!
 
Good Morning,

I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes yesterday and 35 today. I started the food journal so hoping it helps. I am still not convinced it’s my gallbladder.
