I have been doing pretty good with exercising and eating right. I did have a weak moment but I worked harder at the gym to make up. (I had a slice of cake yesterday for Mother's Day)....Hey, I deserved it! I've been doing an hour each day of cardio at the gym. Here's what I have been doing:
- 10 minutes on the stationary bike
- 20 minutes on the cross trainer (I love this machine. I usually burn 300+ on this bad boy)
- 30 minutes on the treadmill
Well, I stepped on the scale this morning and only lost 8 oz. I didn't like that too much, considering that I worked very hard but this week I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I am determined to get my way and I'm not going to back down! :)
On Saturday, I was shopping at Walmart and decided to buy a Gold's Gym 10 lb. kettlebell. I have been reading up on them and really wanted to try them out. I bought the smallest weight they had because I'm just starting out. So I took my new kettlebell home and did a 30 minute workout. I actually love using it rather than doing strength training at the gym with their weights. It wasn't hard. Just had to learn how to swing it correctly which can be found anywhere on the internet. It counts as part cardio, as well, so that's nice. As I get more comfortable with the kettlebell I plan to get more heavier ones.
