Anyway, quick recap, cuz I'm not sure if anyone actually reads this things or not.
Yesterday I made it to the gym around 5 or so and worked out until oooh, 630ish. I ran/walk/jogged on the treadmill for 45 minutes while watching "US Marshals" with Tommy Lee Jones. Then I went and worked it out on the machines for a bit. Went really hard on the abs yesterday with nearly 200+ on the ab machines with fairly high weight. I did them in sets of 50 with about a minute or so rest in between. I also did the row machine, hoping it would help me get rid of some of the back fat I've accumulated. :( Then FINALLY got on the torso twist thing and did more heavy weights on that. I think I'm going to try to work out on this machine a little bit more, because it works my obliques as well as my abs.
As for eating, yesterday was HORRIBLE. I had a bowl of cereal to start, and a Clif Bar before the gym, but throughout the day I also had a bagel and cream cheese, a soft pretzel stuffed with feta cheese and spinach, a pulled pork bbq sandwhich (Chilis) and a small greek salad with a cup of cream of mushroom soup (City Tavern). Mom and I went to the movies yesterday morning to see "How to Train Your Dragon" and she wanted to take me out to lunch. Hence City Tavern. Then later that evening, she didn't want to cook, so we went to Chilis. Sadly, I also had a small margarita, which was FANTASTIC, but it was also the first alcoholic beverage I've had in awhile (when I said I wouldn't) and it's also the first non water/milk thing I've had.
For anyone that's intersted, here's the table of fitness I hope to be able to pass by the end of the summer. I have to get the minimum in each category, as well as a cumulative point score of 75+. Obviously, I'm trying for above a 75. Ironically, one of my hardest things will just be the waist size. My hips (at the bone) are like, 38, while my true waist (higher up) is a 34 or 35. I'm hardcore honest hourglass figure. And for reference, yes, I'm the Females <>
Oh well.
I'll post later today on what I've done.
Good Lord, Amy, your abs must be killing you! I trust you realize that doing strength training like that will end up building muscle more efficiently that it reduces fat? And yes, while muscle does burn calories much more efficiently than fat, it might make your initial goal a little harder. Remember, cardio workouts are your best friend here. That being said, I know you can do this :)
