Another Week Down...

...and thousands more to go! I met all of my fitness goals this week, and I did okay with the nutrition goals. I'm still not getting in enough water, and I made a valiant effort with the whole veggie thing. I even made a lentil soup, which the family actually loved, surprise, surprise! I think if I can make more soups, that will work well for me. So here's a rundown of my week:

Monday: weights
Tuesday: 20 minutes on my wind trainer
Wednesday: I meant to do weights, but my legs were sooooo stiff from Monday's workout that I decided weights would be a bad idea. I went for a big long walk with a friend instead.
Thursday: weights
Friday: nothing, needed a rest
Saturday: weights
Sunday: big long walk with the family

So, these big walks are not exactly cardio because my heart rate isn't exactly elevated, but I figure they count as calorie-burning sessions. I can't really push it too hard yet, I need to build up slowly. But I can really feel that my strength is coming along quickly. My legs weren't sore after the 2nd and 3rd workouts of the week, so that goes to show that my body is adapting. The bad news is that I didn't lose any weight! I am still at 147.5 lbs, but I am not discouraged.

Last night (Monday, week 4 now!) I did a leg/abs workout:

squats with 10's: 2x12
reverse lunges with 10's: 2x10
step-ups with 10's: 2x10
double crunches: 3x15
oblique crunches: 3x10

I thought that I would be able to do 3 sets of legs, but they were starting to get jello-y, so I stopped at 2 sets. I'm not stiff today though!

Today I did an arm workout. I had to do 2 sets to start, then feed the crying infant, and finished the 3rd set later on:

push-ups: 3x10
narrow rows with 20's: 3x10
lateral raises with 10's: 8/8/10
alternating hammer curls with 20's: 10/8/8
dips: 3x10

Man, those push-ups were tough! Well, it was all tough, but it feels good, too! I will do these 2 workouts another time each this week, and try to get in some cardio as well.
