My other half.

Tony has been a tremendous help in helping me get motivated in working out. He has been pretty active in working out at home during the past year I'd say. He hasn't gone out to run, but he does different cardio and muscle tone workouts inside the house. He is also pretty active outside the home as well with different sports as well. In the Fall and Winter he plays basketball. Spring is Volleyball. Summer is softball. Since I started working out last week, he's motivated me a lot and has even done all the workouts with me. We've been running together when we go out and run. I'm really looking forward to continuing on this workout training and am greatful for a great partner in the mix. Thanks babe!

Day 3

Workout Today:
Ran for 10 minutes.

Yeah I was going to try for 15 minutes, but after 7 minutes, I decided that 10 sounded better. This was the only thing we did tonight, we were both pretty tired and ready for bed, but wanted to get out and run a bit.

Day 2

Starting Weight: 148 lbs.

Workout today:
Jumping Jacks - 3 sets of 50
Milk Jug lifts - 3 sets of 10 (full gallon of water in each hand)
Squats with 25 lb. dumbells in hand - 3 sets of 10
Crunches - 3 sets of 15 (hold the last one for 3 secs.)
Push-up - 3 sets of 10
Side Leg Lifts - 3 sets of 15 (each side)
Moderate Jog - 6 minutes (with 2 minute cooldown walk)

Weight an issue?

So that workout on Tuesday didn't make me sore on Wednesday, sure I sure did feel it on Thursday! My thighs and calves especially! But thats a good thing, right? Means I worked those muscles, or does that mean of overworked them? Hmm... I did stretch out beforehand too.
I know that I started including my weight in this, which I really shouldn't. Because I do know that muscle weighs more than fat and in the end, I could be gaining weight. Which is what happened when I joined the Army. I weighed 125 lbs. before I left for basic training, and came back weighing 145 lbs. My weight seems to fluctuate between 3 lbs. as it is. So weighing myself tonight shouldn't be done, but I did it anyways for curiosity.
The results of that killed the cat too! :(
148 lbs. Oh well, I didn't expect to see any drop in pounds, but sure didn't want to see a gain.

After Day 1

So I'm feeling not too bad after that first workout. I actually expected to feel alot more sore today. There isn't any time today for any workout, as I am heading to be right now, since I've got to work tonight at 8pm. Maybe if its slow enough at work, I can get in a little bit of a workout. Nothing that would make me break a sweat, but just to do some toning and lifting maybe.

Workout Day 1

Starting weight: 146.5 lbs.

Workout today:
Push-ups - 3 sets of 5
Dumbbell lifts - 3 sets of 5
Jumping Jacks - 3 sets of 50
Crunches - 3 sets of 15 (hold the last one for 3 secs.)
Side Leg Lifts - 2 sets of 15 (each side)

Welcome

Here is the start of a new blog for me, for the new me. I'm using this to help me track my workouts and weights and goals.
My goal weight is to be 130 lbs again. This may take longer than most, because we are also trying to get pregnant at the same time. Goal areas of my body I would like to see toned are my upper arms, waistline (which includes the love handles I am gaining), and my thighs.
When I graduated high school I weighed 125 lbs. and was pretty active in running. Being in the military did help me stay pretty fit, but since the last 5 years that ive been inactive with the military, I havent really had any type of fitness routine for myself. I'm lucky that I didnt gain more weight than what I have. Probably in the last 2 years is when its really starting to notice and stay on me. Maybe because I had a child 2.5 years ago and now its changed the way my body has burned off the fat before. I didnt have to work on staying thin before, and now I do.
So here begins my journey to Make Me Fit. Im hoping this can come somewhat easy to me or at least enjoy doing this, so I can keep it going as a daily routine.
