Assessments + Exercise + How I’m Doing It

November 13, 2009 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

Heeeeey!!  This has been a crazy long day, but I shot my video check in and wanted to share it!  I also answered a question in there about “how I’ve lost weight.”  So check it out.

So…

Weight: 227
Previous Weight: 228
Weight loss: -1
Weight loss at GMFR: -14
Weight loss total: -24

Also, here are my workouts for the week.  Damn.  Today was killer:

Friday 11/13:

  • 40 minutes walking (1.5 miles?  hill)
  • 1 hour upper body resistance training + abs
  • 45 minutes step aerobics class
  • 45 minutes Zumba class!
  • 30 minutes progressive yoga

Thursday 11/12:

  • 30 minutes recumbent bike intervals
  • 1 hour lower body conditioning + abs
  • 30 minutes water cardio drills

Wednesday 11/11:

  • 1 hour walk (2.0 miles, logging trail, HILLs)
  • 1 hour upper body resistance training + abs
  • 30 minutes water aerobics class

Tuesday 11/10:

  • 1 hour lower body conditioning + abs
  • 45 minutes kickboxing (omg, punched so hard?)
  • 30 minutes cardio stations class (step, v-step, jumpjacks,
  • 30 minutes recumbent bike intervals

Monday 11/9:

  • 30 minutes upper body strength training
  • 30 minutes pilates
  • feel like I did more, but forgot what!

Sunday 11/8:

  • 20 minutes 1 mile walk

I probably won’t do anything tomorrow, so that’s it for the week.  If not, I’ll update later. 

Oh, and one last thing!  Anele sent me and awesome e-mail and picture.  She said: “I couldn’t resist sharing a little trick I like to do with my progress pics that helps me focus on the lines of the body without the distraction of the clothes worn, background, etc.  I use a Photoshop stamp filter and it shows the lines of the body really well.  I attached one I did of yours.”

Cool, right?  I’m sticking with my story of hard work pays off.  So go do it!!

    Love the new progress pics!!!! COOL! And you know I am one that definitely loves to have muscles!!! They are “it” to me! You know Mary, a lot of people compliment me on them BUT some guys (& women) think it is just too much for a woman. I do not care! I like having muscles & man, they help your health long term. You go girl! Congrats!

    Hi,
    I’ve been where you are at and I concratulate you. After 6 years of fighting with the baby-fat I had left from my pregnancy, I was ready to give up. I saw doctors and specialists and did not qualify for any operations but was still told that I am in the overweight BMI. Finally, I ran into Isagenix, a deep cleansing system. Hey, we all service our cars and get those annoying oil changes etc, but who ever cleanses our body from all the toxics and junk we take into our body. Ofter those toxins prevent us from loosing the extra annoying weight. Within the first 3 days I could feel more energy, sleep better, think clearer. The first month I lost over 15lbs and my friends lost an average of 25lbs their first month. Feel free to contact me.
    Good luck and hang in there.
    Julia
