Wednesday PT Time... uggg

Hey guys!!!

I have another prayer request. My wonderful friend, Susan, from Rhode Island just had surgery on her knee. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as well as her father. He had a stroke and is in the hospital. This was very sad news for me to hear as I have a great deal of respect and fondness for him. It just breaks my heart to hear it. He is such a kind and wonderful person- Susan takes after him! Thank you for keeping them and John in your thoughts and prayers.

I think my PT is tryin to kill me- of course I am joking but my goodness!!! What a workout. To look at it on paper you would think awww that’s NOTHING… you big wuss. But trust me it was tough. When we first started talking about the gym and how often I wanted to go I told him 3 days a week… he said great. I was like cool. So I walk in last night and he hands me a workout schedule with FOUR days at the gym- uggg. Along with the workout he wants me to do 45 minutes of cardio, ab work and start conditioning for the Marathon. I don’t know if I can do this for real but I will give it my best shot.

Exercise Wednesday:

Elliptical – 25 minutes on weight loss program (increased speed because of time crunch)

PT Workout:

Techno Gym Press- 65 lbs 3 sets of 10

Dumbbell flies- 20 lbs 3 sets of 10

~~Bosu Squat, Curl, Press- 10 lb weights in each hand, balance on the flat side of the Bosu ball and squat, raise the weights in to a curl and then lift them high over your head (ug) THEN
~~Relays- Run a 10 lb weight a given length, switch out weight with another 10 lb weight, run back and do it over again six times (3 up, 3 down)
Repeat the above 2 more times….. and have heart failure!

Kickbacks- 10 lbs 2 sets of 10 and in between each set do 25 crunches

Bosu Ball Push- Craziest thing I have ever done. Put the Bosu ball down on the floor flat side down. Bend over and put your hands on the ball and stretch forward. Then run with the flippin thing for a specified length and then back to start- repeat 2 more times and repeat above instructions for heart failure (lol)

See I told you that it doesn’t look like much! I was sweating in places I didn’t know you could sweat. I just can’t wait until I try to do the Hyperflex (sarcastic) – Last time I had anything hyper was a hyperextension of my calf muscle and it was NOT fun! So that exercise does not sound fun or safe for that matter.

Food could have, as always, been better. I don’t know what it is gonna take to get me on the right track with food. It is very hard mentally and emotionally. Everything is bad for you, it’s confusing and it will get you down real quick.

Food:

Breakfast- 2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast- water to drink

Snack- nothing
Water

Lunch- Walked to Lonnie’s and had a baby beef sandwich, fries and pink lemonade to drink then walked back to work.

Supper- White Castles – 6 plain, Fries and Big Red to drink

Snack at night- nothing

Need to eat snacks to keep metabolism going and to keep me from being so hungry. Need to also try to eat before gym (protein and carb) and after (protein) to help build muscle as I lose fat… or that is what they say anyway- grins.

Ok.. closing for now. Love you guys!

Love and Hugs,Christy
