I'm not really sure why I didn't do as well this morning. Maybe it's because I went to bed late last night. Maybe it's because I haven't gone Since Friday. Maybe it's because I didn't eat the best through the weekend. I don't know. I just hope tomorrow is better.

Today I had a GREAT day! I PR'd (hit a personal record)
30 MR 804 Calories
4-24-12
15 M R 353 Cal, Circuit (weights), Abs (weights)
4-23-12
30 M R 703 Cal
I usually don't go to the gym on Thursdays but I'm sure if I went (and I might) I won't have near as good of day (800 calories) as I did today. That's the way it goes. I can't have 2 super good days in a row. And then on Friday, I'll be doing circuit and abs so the time I spend on the Arc will only be 15-20 minutes. Maybe Saturday I can have a super day!
Friday is also weigh in day. YUCK. I never look forward to that. I am trying to do better with my eating. Hopefully it will pay off...

Went to the gym about 9:30 this morning and I stayed on the Arc for 5 extra minutes - which was hard because I was beat. I really pushed this morning. The first 8 minutes on was really difficult and I wasn't sure i could go for very long. My legs felt so stiff and heavy. But I continued and at about 10 minutes they were loose and I was able to really push myself and finish big.
35 MR 886 calories! - After 30 minutes I was at 780 calories so I stayed on for 5 more minutes and burned 106 more calories. This is the best I've ever done. Of course I won't be able to even come close tomorrow, but I'll take it anyway!

I went to the gym EARLY this morning.
30 M R 637 cal - it could have been 673 cal - I'm not sure.But I'm pretty sure it was 637. It's amaizng to me that I can have a really good day like yesterday (733 cal) and then today, not as great. But anyway, I'll keep plugging along.
I've had several comments that I'm looking better and I might see it, but the scale doesn't reflect it. I say I might see it because I'm not really sure. I don't think my clothes fit differently and I don't know if I see a difference in the mirror or if I'm just really hopeful I'll see a difference.

30 m R, 460 cal
180 lbs 11:00, nude
Breakfast - Costco weight loss shake - chocolate
Lunch - Pizza
Dinner - Weight Loss shake, 1 tsp Pero, 2 Tbsp Coconut creamer, 1 C milk, ice
Water - 64 oz.
The lady next to me finished her workout when I had about 12 minutes left on mine. I looked over and she had burned 1445 calories in 60 minutes. I was floored! I asked her how she did that. She said she just messed around with the incline and resistance. So that's what I did. I lowered the resistance from 17 to 12 and raised the incline from 5 to 9. And I could see a difference in my calories burned. Usually in a 30 m workout, I burn around 400 calories. But today, at less than half way to go, I changed things a bit and I burned 460 calories. I've never burned that much in 30 minutes. So I'm going to try this "increase incline, lower resistance" thing for a while and see if I can burn more calories without killing myself.

First Post
This is a story of a girl trying to lose weight. That girl is me. I am going to post about my exercising, weight and maybe some of what I eat.
I am 5' 2", 35 years old. I have 3 kids - ages 11, 9 and 6. I've also had 2 miscarriages after my youngest child was born.
In November 2011, I joined a gym and started working out. And it actually not as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't take a picture of me then, but I have one of me today. However, not much, if anything, has changed. You'll see why when you keep reading.
I've keep track of my weight (sort of)
On 11-16-11 I weighed 183.5 lbs - weighed in the afternoon
On 11-22-11 I weighed 183.0 lbs - weighed at noon, nude
On 11-28-11 I weighed 182.5 lbs - 9:15 AM nude
On 03-09-12 1 weighed 175.5 lbs - 9:00 with clothes
On 03-21-12 I weighed 180.0 lbs - 11:00 nude
I also keep track of the days that I work out, how long I work out and how many calories the machine says I've burned. But instead of going back to November, I'll just start with the first of March.
