Workout Frustrations...

So I usually hit up the gym Mon/Wed/Fri while Kenna's at preschool. Well, today, I slept through my alarm and didn't even get up until after 9:15am. Kenna's perschool starts at 9. Then I was freaking out cause I couldn't find any workout clothes. So Kenna was 45 min late to preschool and I didn't go to the gym. And to top it all off, I couldn't get the day off so my friend David could come up from Vancouver to hang out. It's been a really tough day for me. Mostly I think because of that monkey wrench thrown into my workout routine.

Friday's workout

oooooh! I'm so close to my goal of doing 5 miles and burning 1000 calories all within and hour (with a five minute cool down, of course)

Cardi-HO!

Welcome to my Mon/Wed/Fri routine! I drop Kenna off at preschool and head on over to the Y for a couple of hours. I used to do cardio and lift weights but I have become more and more discouraged about the weights recently. I don't know if it's the smell in the weight room or the fact that I have to stand around waiting for machine that are in use, which throws off my groove. I think it's a combination of the two. I still do my cardio three times a week and that's what you are witness to in the above video. This is an example of a typical cardio workout for me. In this particular one I ran on the eliptical machine for 1 hour with a 5 minute cool down period, finishing just under 5 miles and burning more than 900 calores. Yay me!

I just hope all this time isn't wasted on my weighted waist. I have lost 10 pounds since I started in September. Fitness, here I come!
