Moving it Mondays!

Well today in my book...TOTAL AWESOMENESS! 

Downtown L.A. Stairs

Eating was not great..but I did something today that I absolutely hate doing...stairs! Back 4 years ago, I used to be forced into walking stairs in downtown L.A. It was something I really despised. Today I said, I am getting on those stairs and I will do 4 rounds. I completed those 4 rounds today. And in all honesty, it was a challenge but doable!

I had another session today on the Turbo Sonic machine.  My session time seems to go by so fast.  I am still enjoying it though.  Today I felt my blood flowing.  It is wierd to explain but I felt like I could feel the blood moving in my vessels! 



So here's the eating (the good, bad, & the worse) for the day:

Breakfast:
     4 scrambled eggs
      apple

Mid AM Snack
     Strawberries

Lunch
     2 chicken Breast
     Corn on the Cobb
     Mac N Cheese

Mid Afternoon Snack
     can of Pepsi
     snack back of Cheddar & Sour Cream Chips

Dinner
2 slices of Pizza (1 vegeterian & 1 pepperoni)

Workouts

1. Downtown Stairs - 4 rounds http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/p5R55iPmNFY
2. 45 minute Walk - almost 3 miles in Downtown Los Angeles  http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/p5R55iPmNFY

This day would have been a win win if I did better on my eating.  But I am still proud of me doing the stairs today and at least getting 2 workouts in!  Well that is all for now.  I forgot to weigh myself this morning.  I will do that tomorrow morning.

Hump Day Recap

Well today Wednesday was a lot better than yesterday.  Still not a perfect day, but a move in the right direction.

Breakfast:  Croissant & White chocolate Latte

Mid AM Snack:  The rest of my tomato, broccoli, carrot juice

Lunch:  Kale Salad (Kale, cucumbers, tomato, Feta Cheese, apple cider vinegar)

Mid After Noon Snack:  Beet & Apple Juice

Dinner:   Salad (lettuce, cabbage, carrots) & 1 chicken breast

Physical Activity:

• 60 minutes of water aerobics
• Total Body Vibration Machine, well I know it is technically not excercise, but since they claim its just like excercising, I am calling it exercise!   I attempted to record myself while on the machine with my Iphone.  So here is a snap of the machine and a little clip of me on the machine.  The machine is surprisingly quiet and seriously all I do is stand and let the machine vibrate! 

Well I think that is all for tonight. Time to watch my shows tidy up a bit and get to bed.  Until next time.  Tata.

Whole Body Vibration Session #2

I know it may seem odd, that I would do such a thing.  I even suprise myself but my second session of my Whole Body Vibration Therapy was yesterday.  When I got there it appears that the power had gone out in the building and recently turned back on. There was a sign by the elevators that said, the power is being restored, please use the stairs.  So of course I said CRAP, I have to walk up 3 flights of stairs!  No joke, I was breathing hard and struggling to get up those flights of stairs!

Okay so I finally made it up the stars and into the Chiropractic office.  I get into the room with the machine and did my 10 minute session.  The machine this office uses is the Turbo Sonic Professional.  This session seemed to be more intense than my first session, I am not sure why, but it did.  Maybe the stairs?  So far I am enjoying it, I can't sense if anything is really happening, but so far I see no harm in it, so I will keep trying it.

If you are interested there are several videos on YouTube about Whole Body Vibrations, but here is one that talks about its benefits.  http://youtu.be/dPOSGhBEOmc  and http://youtu.be/0FDYLqsfRlA

Whole Body Vibrations

Hmm...I am sure many are puzzled by the title, but fret not I will explain.  These last couple of days I have ventured out to try something new.  I saw a special on Truebates for Whole BOdy Vibrations sessions at ChiroMassage Centers.  I honestly don't know much about what it does, but I know they say one of hte benefits is weight loss....so I had to try it!  I took my first session on Friday.  It was a bit ackward at first feeling every part of me shake and vibrate like crazy!  I could even see my checks shaking!  I have 7 sessions so I will see how this goes.

I am still struggling with my eating.  I am making some bad eating choices, which I don't understand.  I undo all my physical excercise by making bad food choices!  Oye!  When will I learn! 

Today, I had another awesome rowing class!  And by awesome, I mean, hard as hell!  LOL!  Man it was a tough session.  I wanted to quit 20 minutes into class and in addition to having bad cramps, I was struggling.  But I made it through, I am not sure how, but I did.  I tracked my meters today and I did 7314 meters, which is about 4.5 miles.  http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/gCIG6QaVnyk

So my distance is getting better, and I noticed my split times are getting better.  Well that is all I have for now.  I am just laying here on my heating pad waiting for hte advil to kick in and take my back pain & cramps away.
