I went to the gym today not knowing what I really could do. I really wanted to be there but I had a heck of a headache! I mean a really bad one. I took meds at work (you know I am hurting if I force down evil pills) and went to sleep for two hours- but I still had one- not as bad as the one I woke up with- but still one nonetheless. I was surprised that when I got off the treadmill it was gone completely. I don't know if my blood pressure was up and the exercise made it go down or if exercise is just that therapeutic. But it was great! I was proud of the stuff I did on the treadmill today. I surpassed my goal- although I really don't know if it counts because I didn't go 30 minutes I only went 15. But it was a hectic 15! When I got on it I started out at 1 mph... 1/2 mph is too slow now. 1 is really but I want my heart rate to go up naturally. So 1 mph for 1 minute... 2 mph for 2 minutes and then I was up to 3 mph until I hit the 5 minute mark. At that time I did 3.5 for a full minute and then back down to 3.0 for 2 minutes. Then I went for 3.5 for 30 seconds and then 4.5 for a full 30 seconds! Yes I did! Then back down to 3.0 for 2 minutes and then 3.5 for a full minute, then 4.5 for 30 seconds and then 5.0 for 20 seconds!!!!!... then I died... LMAO.. nooo.... Then I started cool down 4.0, 3.0, 2.0 for the rest of the time (2 min 10 sec) and then hopped off.
We did a bunch of the machines!... I STILL love the back roll thing- it feels so good... even when Steven makes me press in my abs. We did the Rotary thing and this machine where you sit and pull up these strings and it makes your entire body go up. We did a machine called the Leg Curl- You sit down and push up on this metal thing- they have one like it on the "biggest loser". We did the Rower- Steven had it set on 70lbs and I didn't pay attention. I did 10 and was like that's heavy- he laughed at me- THPPPTTTT to him. We did 2 more arm machines and another machine that you pulled up weights with your arms. AND OMG... we did this thing called ABS something- cant remember the rest. But you lay down and put your feet under these harnesses so they cant move and you do a sit-up, grab a weighted ball, go all the way back down with your arms straight out and over your head- so that when you are completely laid down your arms are extended completely flat with your body and above your head... then you do another sit-up and throw it to make a "basket" and get another ball and do it all over again. I did 20 and thought I was gonna pass out (hee hee) but it was fun.... HARD... my arms were twitching, my abs were like HOLY HELL, and my feet were like don't blame me- I couldn't move! After the machines I told Steven I would race him upstairs and around the track and back down. He declined my offer- but said he would walk the track with me. So we went up the stairs sideways (LOL- that was fun) and started walking the track. About halfway I said we are halfway- time to jog... and started jogging and so did Steven. We turned the corner and he flat out started running! So I started too... we ALMOST made it back! But I was so out of breath we had to go around again so I could catch it..... Then we left. As we were leaving I asked him if he wanted to do the ab sit up thingie again... he said NO.. I said come on.. 10 more... LMAOROF- he wouldn't do it and I don't think I could back up my mouth. We had a great time! I was such in a good mood and my head didn't hurt and the music on the radio in the car was awesome on the way to supper... I HAD an AWESOME night!
FOOD:
Points target: 32
Breakfast- 2 pieces of toast and a small banana- 3 pts
Lunch- Peanut Butter Sandwich (2 pts for bread- 4 pts for peanut butter) and a serving size of Gold Fish (3 pts)= 9 pts
12 pts total so far = 20 pts left for supper- and boy did I need them!
I ate WAY too fast and WAY too much! I was pumped and going about 190 miles an hour- I hadn't had enough food during the day and was hungry. So- I ate a hamburger, fries, 1/2 slaw and a bowl of chili at Steak n Shake.
Hamburger = 8 pts
Fries= 6 pts
1/2 Slaw= 4 pts
Chili= 7 pts
25 pts.... YIKES
5 points over- So here is the dilemma: My doctor told me to add 5 points per day to Weight Watchers- but I usually don't, Also I have 35 flex points for the week- but I don't like to use them. So do I say I missed that goal this week- or give myself the extra 5 points or use my flex points for the overage and say I did stay within my points for the day - thus meeting my goal???? What do you guys think??
Love and Hugs,
ME... pumped up still and can't go to sleep because I am still moving. UGGGGGG 12:39-- UUUUUGGGGGGGGGGG again!!!
