Exercise -- YAAA

We got up at 7:30 to be at the gym by 9:00. UGGGG! I was up until 2:30 AM soooo I was a little grouchy. Steven was good about getting me up and going though. I meant to grab an apple for breakfast but ran off and forgot it. We stopped at Walgreens to get some water and I looked for something to eat- to no avail (nothing but donuts and such). So we headed to the gym to meet with the trainer. He was no help at all. He just answered my questions. He didn't offer any kind of direction whatsoever. I will have to talk to someone about that because I think they are supposed to go through each machine with you and tell you what how they work and what part of the body they work. I could very much feel that he was pissed we didn't get personal training. *sighs*.... Oh Well- I guess. But anyway.... I started the beginners program on the walking. I did the whole routine-- was proud of myself!! I kept at the low end of my Target Heart Range like the book said to do. I can bring it up a notch next time. I started out at 1.5 mph on level one for the warm up and went to 2 mph on level one.... all this was five minutes. Then started the regular walking. I went up to level 2 and 2.3 mph for 10 minutes and jogged at 3 mph on level 2 for 5 minutes (well semi jog) and then cooled down for 5 min. The book said to walk on flat surface... but I did the random hills. The hills are not so bad on level 2- but I had to do that to get into my target heart range. After that we went to the bikes. OMG..... I tried this training session that the bike had. It was called Watt Training? Anyway.... I had to put how much I weighed in there and stuff.... then it set up a program for me. 200 watts was finnneeee and dandy! 300 Watts was a b**** and I couldnt finish.... my legs started burning and hurting and I couldnt pedal so I had to stop. I only went for like 5 minutes and when I stopped it flashed across the screen GREAT WORKOUT!!!! That made me laugh! After that we left.

We went to Hardees for Breakfast- never do that again! The points are outrageous! Any way I didnt eat much at all and I dont know why... but I cut the biscuit I got in half and took the smaller half and ate real slow. I was full before I even finished it. Gave steven the last little bite. Found out when I got home that that biscuit alone was 11 points!!! Good thing I only ate less than half of it!

We came home and Steven headed out to play golf and I started tackling that living room. I needed to get it completed so that Steven could get the entertainment center and tv tomorrow and there would be a place to put it. Laura and two of the girls came over and we got about 90% of it done! I still have to do some things but the space has been made for it.
