An Hour Of Cardio

Good morning and happy Monday not so fun-day.  I hope you had a great weekend.  I had a pretty decent weekend.  We stayed in on Friday and just relaxed.  On Saturday ,we had my bf’s parents stay with us and we went out for dinner.  Since I’ve been on my new kick to try new things…I even ordered FISH off the menu for the first time ever.  I got some kinda southwest tilapia and it was really good! I also tried some southwestern shrimp (not a huge fan) and some lobster for the first time ever.  I know…who has never tried lobster before…right?  I liked the lobster..but that my have been because it was drowned in butter.  It was good though! Yay for me and trying new things!

My little Mya is growing up quickly.  She’s getting bigger every day.

On Sunday we watched Tim Tebow WIN!!!!!!!! Gosh I love this guy!!  Next week they play the Patriots and that won’t be so pretty.  I’m just happy for Tim Tebow to prove himself to all the haters out there.  Good job Timmy!

Actually…Tim…if you could please make it to the superbowl (which is in Indianapolis), then we can finally hang out like we’ve always wanted to 😉  I’ll even show you around town.  haha a girl can wish, can’t she!?

I also made a trip to Target this weekend because all the Christmas stuff was 90% off.  The crazy coupon lady in me came out and I got all of the stuff below for less than $10! I’ll thank myself next year.

After that, I took down all the Christmas decorations in the house.  Now it looks boring and bare in my house.  I wish Xmas decor could stay all year 🙁

As for my Saturday workout, I completed Day 76 – Cardio.  This is the first day in the entire 3 months that is JUST cardio and no weight training.  The plan calls for doing an hour of cardio – your choice.

I decided that an hour is entirely too long to do on one machine, so I split it up.

I did 20 minutes on some elliptical/stairmaster type machine, 20 minutes on the treadmill, 10 minutes on the bike and then 20 more minutes on the treadmill.  In total, I did 70 min of cardio.

The reason I only did the bike for 10 minutes is because I can never get my heart rate up high enough on the bike.  I don’t know if it’s because only my legs are moving and it’s not a full body workout, but my heart rate always stays in the 150’s.  With everything else, I can always keep it around the 170s.

Afterwards I threw in a quick ab workout.

My workout lasted1:34 and I burned 934 calories.

As for this week…I have one week left on Jamie Eason’s plan until I’m offiicially DONE with it!! That’s only 6 more workouts!!  Holy crap I never thought that day would come!

101 in 1001 goals completed:

  • 4.  Try 25 new foods (5/25)

Have a good Monday, folks!

    • After I’m done, I have a week before my cruise so I’ll be lifting my “problem areas” and doing cardio. After my vacation, I’m probably going to hang out in Phase 2 for a while. I think I’m going to customize the plan to myself and combine a few workouts so that I can do a 4-5 day a week plan for myself.

      Keep it goin girl! I cant believe you’re already at day 16! I feel like you just started!

  1. This is the first time in a while I didn’t actually participate in after-Christmas sales. Crazy! But by the time I made it to Target, really all i wanted to pick up were Christmas cards for next year and the selection was majorly picked over. Oh well…
