Gym & Training Day 04 Recap

I think I've figured out that I'm more of a mid morning or early morning workout person.  Yesterday was dance class for my 4 year old daughter at 10:45 and with my summer plans the way they are we had to go to the gym after class instead of before.

My 2 year old son has been coming with us to dance class since September and when allowed he goes off to the side to dance.  Yesterday he got one of the last years umbrellas to practice with and worked his own little routine next to the bigger girls.

Lunch break went ok.  The kids had doughnuts from the doughnut shop and lunchables.  Not the most nutritious thing to eat, but when I'm on the run, it's better than fast food.

Dropped the kids off at the gym and they happily went along.  I was so worried that they'd freak out about going into daycare for the first time in their lives, but they've taken to it like ducks to water.

Now...down to the working out.

The Curves Room at the gym is my new home.  I feel completely comfortable in there and don't worry about crazy looks people give me any more.  I do have to say though that when I got on the treadmill yesterday some younger girls were laughing in the row behind me and somehow my twisted little brain thought they were laughing at me.  Great...right?  I'm sure they weren't, now that I'm out of the moment, but it's so sad to immediately assume that!!!

So Day 04 of 61 was scheduled to be a Pilates Fix Day and a longer run, but since I'm going to do my long runs on Fridays (since weekends will be kid & hubby time) I cut my run short to a good mile and did Total Cardio Fix again knowing that Pilates would kill my legs in preparation for my run on Friday.

Not sure if I've talked about this before, but I have a little routine I do, when doing my Fix workouts.  I get a mat and weights then set my RunKeeper to an interval of  one minute steady and fifteen seconds slow on repeat so I do an exercise for a minute then rest for fifteen seconds, the way that they do it on the DVD.  Its great because it beeps at me to tell me when to change so I don't really even have to look at the clock!

I could do it on BEACHBODY ON DEMAND, but it seems easier since I know all the exercises already to do it that way.

Anyway I can't believe I've already finished four days in a row!  That's more days in a row than I've done in two months.  I've checked my weight all week and I'm already down about 3 lbs.  I know this will fluctuate in the next few weeks, but at least I'm going in the right direction!
