Gym is Open (Wednesday)!

Good morning, all! I thought I'd get an early start today before I get distracted and forget to open the gym. Exercise is hard enough as it is! I plan to do my "sit and tone" after breakfast settles a bit. The weather is also supposed to be warmer than usual today, so I will go outside for a short walk. What did you do (or plan to do) to move your body today? Kix

Hey Kix, Well it was another wonderful day before the sun came out... oh yeah there wasn't any sun. Went to the gym had a very very good workout this morning. 35 min elliptical then weights 35 min elliptical ok the one thing I love about this machine is the amount of calories you burn the first time I was on it I was really working hard I burnd about 460 calories the second time I burned 435 I slowed down a little. total burned 895 calories not counting the weights. I burned up all of my food for the day. Well have a great day talk to you soon. Lorraine

Good job, Lorraine! If you burned up all of your food for the day, maybe you aren't eating enough calories and that's why your weight loss is a bit slow. What does your trainer think? Kix

I don't have a trainer. I will check it out with someone. Thanks Kix. Lorraine

Today was my first day back at the gym after my attempted mugging. I was sore all week. It's good to go back thought!! Today I did 10 min. treadmill 30 min. elliptical 15 min. treadmill weight trained arms, shoulders and abs jacie

Jacie, I'm glad to hear you're all right. Didn't you say you were mugged at the Glendale Galleria? When I lived in Los Feliz (across the street from Marshall High, and then we moved up near the Greek Theater), I used to shop there all the time and thought it was safe. I guess not! I also used to go to the old Sherman Oaks Galleria, and one time, I couldn't remember whether I parked my car on the orange level or the red level. It took me an hour to find my car, and when I did, I was almost hysterical! I like Studio City. After I left L.A. to move to Honolulu, my roommate moved over the hill to Studio City into a cute house on Laurelcrest. The only thing I didn't like were the Valley summers @ 100 degrees plus. Reminded me too much of summers in Sacramento! Take care, and don't overdo it with the exercise while you're recouperating! Kix

Hey Kix! Yes, this was at the Glendale Galleria. I always thought it was safe too! I have been back though. I used to go to the gym at the Sherman Oaks Galleria, and I had to walk like a 1/2 mile from the parking structure to the gym, it was like a double workout! lol. You lived in some nice areas in L.A!! I love Los Feliz, and the area near the GT is beautiful! I definitely agree with you about the valley summers, but I do love Studio City too. Thanks! jacie

I walked a mile today.
