Insatiable Appetite

Ugh my hungry appetite has been off the charts!  I even made a special trip today to purchase the most sinful cookie in town @ Blvd. Bread Company!  Ugh, I'm mad at myself but it was sooooo good!  I'm aware of my reasons for doing so, but I've got to get a handle on it!  I'm here at work, it's not even time for lunch, and I've already eaten breakfast PLUS my afternoon & afterschool snacks.  I have been exercising which is a plus, and also have been thinking about modifying some things.  My usual routine consist of treadmill cardio and weight lifting the usual selection of machines.  Gonna try changing things up during the month of June, and then alternate machine selections each month.  I'm not quite ready to trade up the treadmill for the eliptical machine, but I maybe willing to do so further down the road.  I've gotten comfortable with the exercise machines I use, so I'll change things up to see if it'll aid in my weightloss and toning efforts.  Can't wait to see if any inches were lost since I last recorded them in March!  If I continue behaving the way I have been today, there will be no change!  :-(

Still At It....

177.5 lbs. 5-5-12

Well, I'm still going strong with my exercise regimen.  I'm at the point where I'm miserable when I don't work out.  It feels good fitting into clothes that were tucked away in my closet, and it finally feels great to shop!!!  I still have a ways to go, but I've accepted that it's a process that won't happen overnight.  The school year is drawing to a close and I'm ready for summer break.  I'll need to ensure that I stick with my regimen since I recently had to switch gyms.  My old beloved gym that I'd been a member for 10 years (more off than on lol) closed it's doors last week.  It was always a great match for me because it provided childcare.  Right towards the end, I became a faithful member but by then it was too late.  So I've been comparison shopping other gyms around town and think I found one that'll work for me. This one doesn't have childcare, but it has other perks. My biggest struggle was finding one that had the exact same equipment that I built around my 1 hour 15 current regimen. My current regimen includes:

Tues-Friday

30 minutes treadmill

2 reps of 25 torso rotation machine

2 reps of 25 rotary torso machine

4 reps of 25 crunches

25 reps of tricep press machine

25 reps seated press machine

25 reps pullover (abs) machine

25 reps leg extension machine

25 reps seated leg press machine

25 reps hip abductor (inner leg) machine

25 reps hip abductor (outer leg) machine

10 minutes treadmill

Saturday

3 mile jog
