Day 37

My day 37 was actually yesterday. I did my aerobics but not my treadmill. I am now sick and have a real bad headache. I am going to hold off on exercise so I can get better. Plus I'll be packing to move things to my new house (YAY!) so I need to make sure I'm getting enough rest. I read a article on yahoo about exercising too much. You wont see results and can actually loose results you have gained if you exercise too much and don't let your body rest. The more you exercise, the more rest you need. They said to get at least 1 full day of rest. With that said, It'll probably be a week or two before I blog again. I hope everyone else has a great workout and keep up the good work. I'm not quitting!! I'll start up again before you know it!

Day 36

Well, I started my period yesterday, very unexpected. Usually it comes at the beginning of the month, but when I counted, yep right on target! I have one of those period headaches and dizziness. I did Pilate's today and walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I really walked fast today and my back is okay so far. I was sweating bullets and my heart was racing. When I stopped I felt soo light headed. I was fine while I was going though. I had some apple sauce to tie me through my shower until lunch. My face was beat red as well. Did I push my self too far? It felt good though. I listened to music on my iPod and it helped me to really get going. Sierra is doing a little better today, she ate on her own. She still has a fever though. Hopefully she'll get better this weekend and be back in school on Monday. I need to go pick up some work from the school for her to do so she doesn't fall behind. Off I go!

Day 35

I didn't feel very well today at all. But I forced my self to do my 30 minute aerobics and my 30 minute treadmill walk. I am happy I forced myself to do them both. I pushed myself a little harder on the treadmill and I feel a little soreness in my back, ugh! It's is elevated upward which my PT told me not to do! lol I don't think it goes straight though, or I don't know how. I don't have the book to it. I noticed a shape change in my middle half. It looks odd though, it looks like someone tied a belt tight around the bottom of my hips, top of my thighs, lol. Well, it's time to make dinner now. :)

Day 34

Day 34 of exercising, actually longer but I need to figure that out. I started exercising before I started blogging. I haven't kept up on my blogging. Maybe because I only have one person, my loyal friend Melissa, reading it. But then she's busy with her own blog so I feel like I'm obligating her to read and respond to mine and I don't want my blog to be a chore for someone else. I like to put down my progress, which I have made so much of it!! When I first started I could barely get through a yoga session, now yoga feels like a short stretching segment and not like exercise. I still have my routine of aerobics on Mon-Wed-Fri and Pilate's Tue-Thur and yoga on Saturday. But I have been going 30 min on the treadmill Monday through Friday. So I am up to an hour a day!!! YAY!

I was curious at my measurements on Saturday and did a sneak peek. I measured my left thigh. The first time it measured at 27", in Saturday it measured at 25 1/2" down and inch and a half!!!! I am waiting to measure everything else for a while though. I actually just started aerobics, what, two weeks ago? Before that it was all yoga and Pilate's. I'm so excited though! Brian has gotten better with my workouts. As soon as I put on a workout or step on the treadmill, he gets in the rocking chair or on the couch and watches me. When I do yoga or Pilate's he try's to do the moves with me! lol, it's so cute to watch his short chubby legs try to lift in the air!

It's been a bit better on my back, some of the exercises that hurt my back even last week, feel a lot better now. But I am still having a lot of back pain when I'm laying down in bed to sleep and it wakes me up. My PT said it's take a long time to heal completely, so I'm not going to doom my back gone forever. When I am done on the treadmill it feels like I have no legs or butt! LOL

The kids are sick. Sierra is really sick. She was out of school yesterday and today, she will be out tomorrow for sure and maybe the rest of the week. I took her to the Dr today and she has 2 virus's. She has soo many symptoms. The past two days she has been laying on the couch watching TV and sleeping. She doesn't want to eat either. The Dr said to keep her home from school until she doesn't have a fever any more. I'm frustrated with her though. She came in looked her over quickly, said she was fine and antibiotics wont help her, and pushed me out the door! She cut me off several times when I tried to ask her a question. I never got to ask how much Vitamin C I can safely give her to help her boost her immune system. I want a new Doctor!!!

Anyways, I'm not feeling so well so I am off to bed!

Day 32

So I totally skipped out on the treadmill last night :( I have no excuse for it either. But I DID get on it today. And it worked my leg muscles a whole lot. I was really sweaty too. I feel fine now. But I'm wondering if I'll feel sore in the morning. I hope I do. If I don't I hope I pushed myself enough. I can't push to much though, I have to watch my back. It felt good though. I did a whole hour of exercise today. 30 minute aerobics, and 30 minutes on the treadmill. I am proud of my hard work today!

Day 31

Day 31, already. I did my aerobics today and I was more sweaty than I usually am. I am pushing myself a little more, but watching it with my back. I want to bathe the kids and then hop on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I go to bed early when Sierra is in school, so I have to mention it before I do it, then write about it the next day. :) I am so excited to see more results as I pump up my routine and intensity!!

Update

I know, I haven't been posting! I have been really busy running to the mechanic the past few days to get my car fixed so I can smog it, which I will do today. I have been exercising as I have scheduled it. I also got my sisters treadmill over to my house finally, but I haven't been able to get on it yet. My back has been doing good, thank you for asking Melissa! :) I also got a little excited because my sister told me she noticed I lost a little bit of weight. A little bit is a lot better than nothing! That's all I needed to hear! :) I hope everyone else is doing great on their exercising.
