exercise work out

20 mins on the bike and 30 push ups followed by a stretch routine. I am still annoyed but the exercise helped curb it a bit. I plan on riding the bike again later in the day. I get annoyed easily if I cannot figure something out, which doesn't happen often. this weirdo weight drop/raise has me annoyed.

this pretty much sums up my week so far where my weight loss is concerned.

Did I mention that I was annoyed?

bike exercise push ups Varsity blues work out

I have not posted an exercise entry in a bit so I shall today. I rode the bike for 15 minutes and did my push ups as well as my stretch routine. I have to say that I am enjoying watching my monthly minutes and push ups go up each time I work out. I feel better and better each day and I thank everyone for the support that I have received thus far.

I have been reading more and more peoples success stories, Like David Smith who lost 401 lbs, and theres a Gentleman named Charles on 3FC whose story is amazing as well with him losing more than 300 lbs, and now this Varsity blues actor fella Ron Lester who lost 315 lbs that I posted in my previous post. it gives me hope that I may be the next success story.

I know I am the next success story!

exercise push ups recipe work out

Exercise for Thursday went well, I rode the bike for 20 minutes and did my push ups and then stretched. easy peasy. Also I thought I would post up a quick easy and tasty chicken salad I have been making lately.

I use 3oz of roasted chicken breast and I chop it up fine, add 3 slices of dill pickle chopped up, 1 tbsp of miracle whip, and pepper to taste. mix well in a bowl until its all even and put it on some pumpernickle bread add some tomato and there you have it. I only use about 2.5 oz of the chicken on a sandwich and eat the last bite :) it consists of the items below, I added a lite yogurt as a side. its 395 calories if you eat all of the chicken and add the yogurt and for just the sandwich its 310 calories, and very tasty if I do say so myself.

3oz roasted chicken 165
2 slices pumpernickle bread 120
3 dill pickle slices 5
1 tbsp Miracle whip 35
1oz sliced tomato 10
1 dannon lite yogurt 60

exercise push ups walk work out

Around 9:30 am I decided I would go out for a walk before it started raining/snowing whichever it may have been, News says some "Precipitation" for the afternoon, the only thing I saw was a light snow flurry while I was walking. not quite sure how far it was but we walked for 45 minutes playing and throwing a ball and chasing it, my daughter asks for the walks now :) I came home after the walk and fed the kiddo a snack and did my push ups, I plan on riding the bike later on, but with a 45 minute walk I may just pass on the bike for the day.

Snow and Ice on the trees in my yard from last time it snowed

The excitement! during our walk we ran into an unfriendly dog, he looked like an older dog I thought someone was with him when I first saw him up the street, and thats why we kept walking in that direction. as we got closer and he saw us he started barking, growling and the hair raised up on his back then he ran towards us. I picked up my daughter and turned her away from the stupid dog and planted one on his mouth/face with my size 14 , he yelped and ran away and the whole time my daughter was saying "dad look doggy" I laughed afterwards at that. other than the "dog incident" it was a nice walk. I may go and knock on the door of the house where the yard he was in is and mention that they may want to leash the dog if its going to be running at people, as it may not get off so easy next time, and I walk that route regularly and don't want to worry about it every time I walk.

More snow and Ice on the trees in my yard from last time it snowed

Its been a good day for getting some movement into my day so far and like I said I will probably ride the bike for a while later, maybe after dinner.

Exercising for Me.

Exercising for Me.

bike exercise push ups work out

Ahhh my favorite part of the day...not really ;) not yet anyways. it was raining all morning and I wanted to go for a walk, I put my 2 year old down for her nap and pretty much as soon as she fell asleep the sun came out and its clear and windy right now, but the kiddo is sleeping so I had to ride the bike. it was a 20 minute ride today followed by some push ups and stretching. then a light lunch of soup. all in all a decent afternoon so far if not boring. I can't wait until it warms up, I have had that park on my mind all day, theres a hike through the bird sanctuary that I have never went on, no reason really for not going but now for some reason I gotsta do it.

So as far as the exercise goes for me I am in full on exercise mode and being very adamant about making sure I do it every day. because I know if I stop then I won't want to start again so thats that, I am doing it and I am not stopping. It takes a whole 30-45 mins out of my day to do it and not doing it is much worse than taking that tiny piece of time from my day, and honestly I feel better after I work out. hopefully some old habits return and I get into a zone (getting there already) and eventually get back into lifting weights on a regular basis.

Thanks for reading

I was feeling good and it is a bit warmer than it has been here today so I decided to go on a walk about. I just walked around the neighborhood for 30 minutes with my daughter, I smartened up and brought a ball that we played with as we walked. it was a nice walk. then a bike ride was in order along with the normal calisthenics that I have been doing so a good day exercise wise! and so far my Lunch and small breakfast was great so all in all a good day.

a sketch from the TV series Heroes, I just wanted to make the post more interesting as this is one of my favorite TV shows. I have many of the paintings that Issac painted in the series.

By 9:15 am I had ridden the bike for 15 mins, done 30 push ups, a stretch routine and some crunches. all while my daughter cheered me on lol. Clifford and Word why was the back ground sounds for the days exercise as this is my daughters time lol and those are her favorite cartoons. I plan on riding again when she naps this afternoon, but nothing is written in stone :) I stayed off of the scale this morning as my "official weigh in day" is tomorrow, I hope to see a good number for what was lost for the week. I am sure that I will be on here posting the loss/gain 2 minutes after I weigh in tomorrow lol, off to a good start today it seems and I am in a good mood because I don't feel any of that cold or w/e it was that I had for the past few days, so it would seem I beat it :)
