It's been forever since I posted anything on here (well, 2 weeks anyway). I've been sick for the past couple weeks (nothing major) but have had really low energy and been sleep-deprived, but am starting to feel better, woooooo!
So, I've only been walking and elliptical training for exercise, with the occasional weight training and pilates. Today I'll be getting back into my regular training, and remembering to do ab work on most days as my core strength is still really poor and it's been 8 months now since having a baby! Time sure does fly...

Since no one has blogged in the last week, i guess i will. I went on a little spring brake for a week and haven't trained. I will start again tomorrow. But Start small so i can get back in the groove. And will continue blogging from there.

It had been about two weeks since i started weight training... what i did:

12 bench presses
12 arm curls(done with a feature on the weight bench)
12 Leg lifts(also done with a feature on the bench)
12 Leg curls(again done with a feature on the bench)

For two weeks every second day plus 130 crunches and a 100.

I have noticed more muscle forming on me already especially my abs but also on my arms and legs..

I always wondered if it is possible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time? If you are trying to lose body fat, I think the best way (in general) to do it is through a sustained caloric deficit over a period of time. However, if you do cardio for an hour a day at the optimal target heart rate for fat burning, aren't you burning off some fat doing that cardio?

Well progress was quite slow at the beginning however I am now into week three of going "back to the gym" and things have picked up. I doubt there's any outward results as of yet however I have a bit more stamina which is good. Also recover time in between workouts seems to be less now as well.

Hi! I just had a gooood nap. I don't nap often enough (who does!), but bebe was up several times last night so I needed one! Going out for a walk now. Yesterday did elliptical training (20 mins) and pilates (30 mins.)I'll see how I feel after my walk, maybe will do some weight training today as well!

Yo yo whazzzup? Anything going on here? So what do I do with this blog?

I have lost another pound of FAT. woohoo!

Last weekend I bought myself a weight bench and finally bought some weights on Saturday. And Today I starting a weight training routine...here it is...

I'm working with 30 pounds:

12 bench presses
12 arm curls(done with a feature on the weight bench)
12 Leg lifts(also done with a feature on the bench)
12 Leg curls(again done with a feature on the bench)

I repeat this 3 times taking a little break in between each. I work out every second day.

Plus at the end I do 130 crunches to work on my abs.

Well I finally uncovered the BBQ this weekend and BBQ'ed out on the patio.

I figured not only is it a more healthy way to cook but a real treat for all the hard work in the gym I've put in these last two weeks. Dinner consisted of a lean (fat trimmed) ribeye steak, baked potato and a tossed salad.

Mmmm, mmmm, good.

Back to the gym tonight...

Well I have finally decided to get back into the gym after a lengthy hiatus and it's surprising how badly out of shape one can get after abusing your fitness. Along with a considerable weight gain I've noticed a big difference in my strength.

My routine currently consists or 25-30 minutes on the treadmill brisk walking at 3-4MPH with an incline of 2-4. I then do at least 10-15 minutes or either regular stationary bike or recumbent. I then stretch and do a light weight training routine for about 20 minutes and finish with 10-15 minutes of stretching.

More to come.

Well I have been focusing more on the one bodypart per day regimen for strength training and it seems to be workout out pretty good. I think given my hectic work schedule and time crunches this is the best way to get through my anatomical adaptation phase and get back into decent training condition.

Lately I HAVE been working out but I havent been able to beat my score, here is my best score:

Push-ups: 35
Crunches: 130

So all i do no is to do 35 push-ups and hopefully beat it and keep on working on my abs:> and im buying my weight bench soon and when i start my weight training i will DEFINATLY blog.

1. I am too tired.

I use this one a lot... since you know - I am always tired. But most of the time, it is just mental fatigue. Once I get off my arse and get outside and start doing some exercise, my mood and motivation picks right up. Other times, maybe I am really exhausted, so I just cram in a quick 15 mins, have a nap, then finish up later.

2. The weather sucks.
