Good day all...today (Wednesday) I was bound and determined to get to the Y to do the laps that I was planning to do yesterday as well as some other form of exercise to make up for missing a work-out. So, I set out this morning, dropped the kids off at school and headed to the Y. Started off with some laps & a little interval training my TriBabes coach suggested. I can't really say how many laps I did as I am concentrating so hard on my stroke and breathing that I totally lose track. After laps I changed out of my suit and headed upstairs to get on a stationary bike. Tried this new bike out called Expresso?? It is kind-of like a cross between a stationary bike and a video game. It was very cool!! I got to pick the level of difficulty, the type of trail (i.e. coastal, redwoods, campus, city...) and you even have to shift gears & steer somewhat. It definitely kept my mind off the work-out! Then, I jumped on a treadmill (TM) for a little cool down. I felt so much better than yesterday when I didn't get a work-out in at all!! So, that was my "Eensy Weensy Mini Tri Work-out", get it, swim/bike/run (well really walk)...but all the components were there, just in minute form.
Well, that is all for today. Weigh-in (WI) is tomorrow. I don't think I am down too much more from last week as I missed two more days of exercise than last week and I have tapped into my weekly allowance points where last week I didn't so much. Wish me luck ;-)

Angie, you're amazing. I'm so proud of you and your workouts! I miss our days together at the gym when we were young and oh so buffed. You were always such a strong one. I was impressed. Rick will be so surprised on his next return to see all you have accomplished. Very soon photos are in order!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh...I so remember those work-outs w/you & Rick. Was Paul there to or was it just the three of us. My memory is sooo bad but I can totally picture us in the weight room at that gym by UCI and on the bikes. Keep helping me remember stuff! It makes me sad to think I am forgetting so many good times.
ReplyDeleteWe"ll have to see about pix...maybe once I reach my goal weight; then I will post some. I started taking my measurements last thurs. & most are down .5" or .75" in 1 week, all except my thighs that are up 1"...I think I measured in a different place yesterday. Dress size still the same. I need to do some abdominal work. That is were I carry most of my weight which is THE most unhealthy place to carry it as it smooshes all your organs...YIKES...that is reason enough to lose weight!!
Thanks for checkin' my blog!! Love ya...ang
