Taking a Step in the Right Direction

Taking a Step in the Right Direction

Maybe this post will go through. Don't you just love it when your internet connection crashes when you are typing something. (You may not understand if you are not using dialup)
I will definitely make sure I start saving.

Anyway today was my first trip back to the fitness center in quite a while. Over the last 4 months I have probably been there a total of 5 times. It felt good to get back into the swing of things, but man was it rough. Since I have a lot of weight to lose (60 lbs.) I have decided to concentrate on cardio until I get into a little better shape before I start weights.

Here is today's workout routine:

1. Rowing Machine: 10 minutes / 1784 strides / 100 calories
2. Treadmill: 15 minutes / jogged .5 miles, walked .7 miles / 100 calories
3. Elliptical Machine: 30 minutes / 2.5 miles / 500 calories
4. Hand Bike: 10 minutes / .25 miles / 110 calories

Total Calories Burned: 810 calories

For breakfast I had a granola bar, 1 L of Crystal Light, and 1 L of H2O while I was working out.
I had a late lunch due to having to run some errands after working out: Veg/Beef soup, green beans, tropical fruit. Had a late afternoon snack consisting of a bowl of rice crispies with splenda and skim milk. For supper tonight we are having leftover spaghetti, so all in all today was a pretty good day foodwise. This is definitely better than my usual meals consisting of all of my fav. foods especially french fries.


Until next time,
