I took some time away from work and school to go out for a nice walk around the mini lake here at the park. This is right next to one of the areas we’re looking at houses- it would be so nice to live so close!!

This mornings I lifted 5 sets of weights, ran four miles on the elliptical, and then did an 8-mile bike ride. No wonder my face is red and sweaty!

Today’s Date: July 27, 2011

Another early morning in the workout room…

I don’t know where I would be in my life without music, and exercise is included in all of that. I have 972 songs programmed into this little MP3 player, and I have just begin to use it’s hard drive. I love that I can work out for a week and never hear the same song twice… longer than that actually.

Once an hour I hear either a Rush or an R.E.M. song… that’s just the volume of their songs in there. And I love that I have the most random songs in the mix. It keeps it fresh whether I am lifting weights, on a treadmill, or walking through the neighborhoods. If only I could wear it when I swam!!

On my third workout for the day… (Hey some days I push myself harder than others). This was ½ way through a six-mile bike ride. Piece of cake!

I have been swimming lately. A lot actually. On the weekends I swim 72 laps with is over 2 miles and just short of my 3 Mile Lifetime Dream. I had a dream to swim 2 miles which I completed, but didn’t keep swimming. Now I’m swimming 4 days a week and unfortunately I have a very, very tender elbow from all the swimming.

I’m hoping that the swelling will go down- it just hurts whenever I move it, and thought I’d take proactive steps!

Today’s Date: July 18, 2011

Today begins the third week of my healthy regime… I had been doing this for one week before I started this photo weight loss blog which I think I needed to get the momentum going. When I weighed in I was on track for my goals, and I have decided not to weigh in again until next Monday. That’s a little hard for me as I like to see the progress… but I think it’s an unhealthy attachment (to the scale) that can have an adverse effect…

My feature today is one of the many charts that I keep. This is specifically related to the tribute to my sister- to the exercises that she never did. Had she done them in her life she would not have gone to an early grave. I exercise for myself in her memory so I do not share the same fate. Truth is I probably over exercise. I lift weights (mostly for toning and not really building) 60 minutes per day, I go for a slow-paced walk in the morning and usually hit the inclined treadmill in the evening. That doesn’t even account for swimming!

I’m hoping to be able to add swimming back into my regime very soon. It’s hard because of time, and because if I add in swimming then I have no idea how I will meet my minimum calorie threshold… today I was under by 700+. Not good, but I’m learning as I go… At least I’m not in the 2,000 under like I was for so long!
