I feel accomplished! I wrote out a to-do list for myself to try to get done today and… I got 5/5 tasks done! My 2 “extra” tasks didn’t get done, but that’s alright. I got up this morning, Brad left for work, I had my protein shake, then first task: posting on my livejournal! Katie got up, ate, played and throughout the morning I got other tasks done: putting Katie’s clean clothes away, cleaning our betta’s tank, college discussion, and finally… writing my visiting teaching letters for church! I had 2/3 letters done and had to stop to fix Katie’s lunch, then wash dishes. She went down for nap and I thought about watching the latest Secret Life while taking a bath, but got in the hot water and dozed off for a mini nap. It was nice! Got out and after Katie got back up, I finished my last letter. To-do list for today = DONE! Woot woot, that’s right. I went ahead and got my heart rate monitor and chest strap on, plus gym clothes & I took KD out for a walk and it was still a bit chilly with some wind, but was a beautiful day. We came home and I had to start getting stuff ready for the evening! Brad came home and we took Katie to our friend’s then off for another evening at the gym!!!!!!!!!!! Brad had a headache when we got to the gym, but he found after getting started, it went away. Heh.

Tonight was LEGS + cardio!! Awesomesauce. Here’s how it went DOWN >>>
warm-up, elliptical, 10 minutes, 1.22 miles, 104 calories
calf extensions – 3X, 50-70-90lbs, 10 reps
leg press – 3X, 265lbs, 10 reps
hip abduction – 3X, 230-250lbs, 10 reps
leg extension – 3X, 115lbs, 10 reps
leg curl – 3X, 70lbs, 10 reps
back extension – 3X, 170-190lbs, 10 reps
abs – till max!
stair stepper – 25 minutes, 84 floors, 242 calories
elliptical – 22 minutes, 2.45 miles, 202 calories

Yea, totally rocked the legs! I was sweating pretty good on the stair stepper! Sweat was building up from the pores out of my arms and I love that. I was going really fast on the elliptical – only prob is my right food was going numb, lol. I watched part of the new episode of The Biggest Loser while doing my cardio. =) Brad got a protein shake afterwards and I had a little of that, then got a protein bar and we left after a bit. Usual – bath + bed for Katie D! Was debating on whether that was enough food, or if I needed to eat my turkey patty too. Decided to just eat my turkey patty + little veg & tomato sauce, so I got more calories, but not as much as planned since I had a little of his shake and that bar. Did awesome with my food today and just gotta keep going–going–going! ESP. on my non-gym days… that’s where I’ve been messing up. NO MORE, NO MORE, NO MORE, NO MORE! Oh, and we saw Ryan (who works a lot at the gym) actually as he was getting to leave after his workout.. heh. He said he was gonna get a shake, then go get some food. He’s a really cool guy!!!!!

What a great Tuesday. Ready for Wednesday! Gotta go get ready for SLEEP, so I can recover and rock it again tomorrow. P.S. I weighed myself at the gym (with clothes & shoes) Saturday and was up 4 pounds… but weighed tonight and lost 2! Yea, my calorie overboard from this weekend usually results in extra “water weight” but It’s going down already– KEEP GOING DOWWWWN. Wishing everyone a wonderful night! Know that you are loved, you are worth it, and HEAVENLY FATHER LOVES YOU AND YOU ARE NEVER, EVER ALONE! Heavenly Father WANTS YOU TO BE HAPPY, but sometimes we have to change for those things to take place. I know every day I will try to be more like my Heavenly Father. I pray that I might become a better person one day at a time. I wish and pray for happiness for everyone!!! Positive mindset = positive lifestyle. Never forget it!
