Workout Accountability: Wednesday

heyjude23

Morning, this week is dragging...

I was pretty annoyed at the gym last night.  It was so crowded that finding a bench was a near impossible feat.  I managed to get one, but of course it was one that wasn't adjustable, so I just skipped doing my incline press with dumbbells.  I did increase my weight or reps for all my other exercises though.  I also did 40 mins on the elliptical. 

Tonight is a 3-5 mile run.  Hopefully I'll be able to keep up the faster pace I ran on Monday.

How's everyone else feeling this morning?

Jude- good for you at least getting some weights in!  I dread going to the "other" side of the gym with all the grunting, sweating, huffing & puffing, hulk-like men over there.  It's SCARRRRRYYYY!

I did my Body Shape class last night but I skipped spin this morning   I'm ready for this week to be over!

Hey ladies!

I started the 30 day shred last night. I think Jillian may be trying to kill me. Haha.
I made it about halfway through before I skipped to cool down. I worked out until I literally could not stand anymore - my knees were noodles!

Today I'm really feeling it, my shoulder muscles are sore and I can barely walk. My knees feel like jelly and ALL my leg muscles are super stiff! Not sure I can do a day 2 of the full workout, but I really loved the ab sets so I think I'm just going to do those.

Good luck to everyone!

Did 35 minutes on the elliptical last night and then only 15 mins of weight lifting - my whole body was still pretty sore from doing free weights on Monday night so I just took it easy.

I'm also annoyed that my gym only has 7 ellipticals and right now 3 of them are "out of order" - they have about 15 treadmills, I think it's time to get another elliptical! (soo irritating because every single time I go to the gym now I have to wait for an elliptical)

Medi,  I generally get a chuckle out of all the sound effects that some of the guys like to generate during weight-lifting. 

lbarr, glad you're starting to feel better.  Hair cuts always put me in a good mood.  Good luck on your run tonight!

entropic, I'm right there with you on the gym annoyances.  Don't they know our workouts are wayyy more important than theirs??!

Nice job everyone!

Zumba this afternoon! But then ate a twix bar so... I guess it at least balanced out hahaha

Did my Level 2 of 30 day shred. Looking forward to going to Hawaii for a week on Sunday. I can't bring my laptop with my to play my workout DVD, anyone have any tips for what I could do in Hawaii to keep my exercising on track?

I love this idea! Of having an accountability forum posts!

I tell myself daily to excersise and somehow i get lazy and don't.

I am a dog trainer, so am on my feet ALL day and am walking and doing other things all day but i do need to set aside time for excersise and strength building.

It is now 10:30 in Cali and i will start tomorrow and use these posts as my reminder and way to keep myself too it.
