Here it is !

It turned out to be a very pretty day with sunny skies but very cold. It is so cold that if you are out for more than a few minutes you will get frost bite.

4 days without doing my exercises and wow hard time getting into it again! It truly is amazing the head games you play so you can put it off.I just bit the bullet and did my weight machine exercises! Yay! Off to a good start!

Got the elliptical machine going again and did 3 minutes for 46 calories burned...not much but every little bit helps!

A Gray Day


With the threat of more snow today it is not sunny like yesterday. We are suppose to be getting 3-6 inches today and tonight! Plus more tomorrow. Oh fun...lucky us!!!

I did do my weight exercises this morning and need to work on the elliptical machine this afternoon. And stepped on the scale and still down to yesterdays weight. I am so happy to see that there is some hope for me.

With DH home this afternoon that really screws up my day!

Some sales on Etsy would be very nice...

I did 5 minutes so far today on the elliptical machine and burned 61 calories.....YAY

A Sunny Day

Here it is 10:35 AM today and I shoveled the double driveway and all the sidewalks we are on the corner so there are actually double the sidewalks.....When finished no huffing and puffing or being out of breath. What does that mean I heard a personal trainer say the recovery time from an exercise shows how out of shape you really are. Makes sense....No recovery time I must be in pretty good shape. So It might be time to step it up a bit! Got on the scale again and was down about 2 1/2 lbs. So thought I would try on a pair of jeans that have not been worn in a while....YAY they fit!

Finished my set of 15 each for all the exercises I do on the weight machine...about 10 of them so I am so ready to go at lunchtime and pick up my new elliptical machine. Then off to get my tires taken care of.

It certainly helps to see the sunshine! Puts everyone into a better mood. YAY for sunshine!

Didn't get over to pick up the machine so will do it and meet hubby there when he gets out of work.....They swapped out the tire....it had a tiny pinhole in it!

Picked up the machine and I used it for 1 minute and it wiped me out! I can see that this is going to be a lot of work! My plan is to get on it for as long as I can at every opportunity during the day and then increase the time I'm on it. My thinking is that it will get easier as time goes on. That is my plan will it work ? We'll see!

My New Piece Of Equipment

I did It I bought a elliptical machine so I am going to pick it up when the truck bed can be uncovered..... hopefully tomorrow! I am so excited and I really need to get into the exercising mode!!!!! I'll do my weight exercise tomorrow morning, then go get my tire fixed again for the 2nd time.... brand new tires only 2 months old...hopefully they will replace it this time! And maybe pick up my machine later in the day. YAY

apparently you can not post a comment on this one have to go to the 1st blog I don't get this.....

January 2009

Yesterday I started my weightlifting program and I was so glad that I finally did. I need to lose at least 45 lbs and that would make me VERY very happy. Today now I did my weight machine exercises again and am looking forward to getting an elliptical machine sometime soon. I figure if I do my exercises then maybe by springtime I will be in shape and really look good for bathing suit time.! Time will tell and in this blog I am open to comment and suggestions and figure that I would share the experience with you and would like you to share yours with me. thanks!
