Long time

It's been a while. I'm no where near where I was last year at this time physically.  Last year I was having a great year with exercise, strengthening getting stronger and so on.  However, I've had many different small to bigger health issues and other interruptions that have caused me to gain weight and not be able to stay on a consistent workout plan.  So, I'm going to try to blog in order to motivate myself past the issues and interruptions and fit more workouts back into my life.

So, here goes.  Praying I can lose the weight and get my strength back.

Blessings,
J

Time Flies

Well, it's been over a year since the neck surgery.  It felt successful through August of last year. However, after that, everything I had problems with before has come back and maybe with additional problems.

Hey, but I'm not stopping.  I still exercise, became a certified spin instructor through Mad Dogg Athletics and am studying to be a personal trainer. :)

Surgery Day

Ok, I did it. I completed a workout! I'm thirsty, but in a little while I won't care - right? Haha. Got to keep the humor up to cover the pain later. :)

Have a great day and weekend!

January 3!

Hello there!

I completed my 30 minutes of warmups, strength, balance and stretching exercises today.  I'm a little sore from the past two days.

I'm not sure what I'll do Friday since I'm having surgery late morning which requires NOTHING by mouth after midnight tonight.  Soooo, if I do strenuous moves I'll want water, therefore, I may do yoga to stretch and relax myself.  That I'll need. :)

Have a great evening!

Spin Class

Ah, yes! Spin class was great, gruelling and gratifying.  I burned 920 calories during an hour and 3 minutes spinning 24 miles.  Not too bad considering the last spin class I completed was the Friday before Christmas.  We were out of state, but I did do some stretches and other body exercises. 

In case anyone is wondering, I'm blogging my exercise due to wanting to keep up with it and I signed up on Janathon.com to log and blog exercise for January. :)  I also log my workouts in mapmyfitness.com so I can keep up with mileage easier.  Both of these are free. 

On with the rest of my day.  Have a great day!!

First day

Happy New Year!!

I did it! I did workout today. I completed a 30 minute video workout plus about 15 minutes of stretching, toning and other strengthening exercises. 

I didn't do much crocheting, but I'll do some later.  I do plan to sew and crochet this week as well as organize some things.

Have a great week!

This week

I've managed to complete 71.9 miles of spinning this week and burned 3,955 calories with all the other exercises included.  Great for someone who has CMT.  Woo-hoo for me! :)

Last night, two other ladies and I met for a church craft group.  It was nice to sit and crochet with others.

I have to finish a final test for my college class today, so there's not much time to enjoy until after that is done.  Therefore, it's time to get back to work on it.

Then, woo-hoo, it's on to the weekend with tonight my husband's work Christmas party and tomorrow the his office Christmas party.

Have a great weekend!!
