excellent week apr 13-19

[Guest guest]

here is my checkin for this past week...

sunday april 13 - did housework all day and called it my workout.

monday april 14 - walked with chinook - 58 mins, 307 cals.

tuesday april 15 - walked with chinook - 51 mins, 219 cals.

then finally did 'crunch:bootcamp' which i had to get from the

rental place because i could not find my own dvd. another one of

crunch's better workouts and an old favourite i followed

that with 'crunch: washboard abs' which i did not really enjoy.

since it is from 1995, it was all crunches done on the floor,.

although the warmup was done standing, i found the moves in the

warmup to be awkward. the only thing that i actually liked

about this workout was the instructor, terri walsh, who was

mature and did not resemble a college cheerleader.

wednesday april 16 - i was thrilled to get my bike out and do

that with chinook instead of walking all of the time. the dog

loves the faster movement and i like the variety. a 45 min bike

ride today burned only 200 cals. not much, but i had to take it

easy on the dog since it was his first time running with the bike

this year.

thursday april 17 - 36 min walk with chinook, then a 28 min bike

ride with him, for a total of 360 cals. enjoyable! the

weather here has been awesome!! like summer! after that i

spent the rest of the day washing and detailing my chevy

blazer... wheew, it was covered in mud and the inside hadnt been

cleaned since last summer!

friday april 18 - 43 min bike ride/run with chinook, 230 cal

burn. i am trying to slightly increase the intensity of the

dog's runs, hence the bit higher cal burn.

saturday april 19 - 63 minute walk with the dog followed by 6

mins of stretching on my back porch beautiful day... too

windy to ride my bike, but very warm. then i did 'crunch: fat

burning yoga' with sarah ivanhoe. she really is a gem and this

is a good vinyasa/power yoga routine.

so... this was an excellent week!! i think that i surprised

myself with my consistency. a full 7 days of workouts and other

activities. and NO sick days! yay! also i kept my food

journal for 6 of those days. my weight is down a pound or two,

but i cant consider it a real loss until it has been gone for

another couple of weeks.
