PMP Finish Line

Wednesday, November 02, 2011

PMP Final numbers.
Let me say I am sorry that I didn't do weekly challenge reports, I would start to write one, decide it sounded stupid/dumb/weak/lazy/ or just plain lame and erase it with the intention of redoing it later then the next week would be almost over and well, then it was over.
buuuut

As I figured you can't see any change in my pictures but I feel it! I feel stronger, my jeans fit, some of my undies are to loose, and I had to get rid of 1 of my pairs of capris cause the wouldn't stay up anymore :) Even my fingers are a little smaller one of my rings doesn't stay on very well anymore.

PMP Challenge 2 getting done (pictures)

Friday, September 16, 2011

Before Friday, September 16, you are challenged to do 2 hours of Strength Training
over 4 days.

Done

Monday - Upper body w/5 lb dumbbells - 50 minutes

Tuesday - Lower body w/bodyweight - 30 mintues

Wednesday - Core w/bodyweight - 25 Minutes

Thursday - Upper Body w/5 & 10 lb dumbbells - 40 minutes

My Monday upper body felt to easy so I went to the garage and dug out the 10 lb dumbbells, I used them for most of the exercises, and I did not rest as much between sets just grabbed a swig of water every now & then. That extra 5 lbs makes quite a difference this one kicked my buttkiss! Still have to do muscle failure and 1 hour between Friday & Sunday.

30 Minutes Friday, 30 Sunday = 1 hour complete

Muscle failure - squats (every 15 or so I had to rest for a second and take a few deep breaths so I am not sure if it was done right) 120 total and I can guarantee that my muscles were failed!

Some proof pics & random pics
Proof pic the sweat is hard to see but it was there!


My lunch today


The Lake we have fun at & my raft


It's starting to get chilly in the mornings, chilly enough to make mist over the river


One last pic, I loved the sun through this tree

My week Aug 21-27, 2011

Monday, August 29, 2011

I only worked out 5 days last week my silly ankle decided to tweak and slow me down. I am happy to say though that it did not stop me. I did not use it as an excuse, the first day it hurt I did rest, but walked the next day, I was just very careful how I set my foot.

I walked a total of 4.3 miles, a little short of my 5 mile a week goal, but 4.3 more than I walked any other week :)

Still did not get 8 glasses of water in every day . The front offices where I work are air conditioned and I am just not really thirsty when I am in cool air but I will continue to work on that this week.

Goals for this week:
Exercise 6 days
Get 8 glasses of water a day
Get more sleep (I am feeling tired too much of the time), goal of an extra 30 minutes a night.

great goals. Like your courage post! If your ankle gives you probs. Do crunches, bun and tum , leg lifts etc during commercials. It's not quite arobic but they will make you feel like you made your wkout commitment. Report Inappropriate Comment
