Catching you up!

I know, I know, I know I have kinda slacked lately!! So sorry about that. The good news is that I have not been slacking on my workouts, food...kinda, workouts no. In fact I have been pushing myself harder on the treadmill. I am bound and determined to reach my goal of 1.5 miles in 15 minutes. My week has been pretty busy I have been working and then straight to the gym. Heck I have even been working out like full out on my days off, which is new for me! I think the biggest help has been having someone there with me to talk to and to push me (and not in a shopping cart as my aunt would like to think)! I'm glad I finally have someone to work out with, I mean it is OK working out by yourself, I mean I can go at my own pace and what not, but I often found myself bored with my work out and only doing some of my usual routine or just my cardio, or just walking on the treadmill. It's much harder now to just head out the door after a run because I'm tired. I have to actually sit and do all my arms and running, so that I know Victor got the workout he set out for. I hope that he feels the same way as far as me being able to push him. I have also been blowing my treadmill numbers out of the water this week, because he is there. He will be like "you can finish this mile under (whatever time)" and we give each other high-fives when we do good. And he is doing amazingly also, I am very proud of him and seeing him do his numbers so good definitely brings out the competitive side of me and I push myself harder.
So I think I lost some of my numbers from the last week but I will go ahead and put up what I have, or well what I think it is. I am also gonna put up what numbers I have for Victor. This is basically just most of our treadmill numbers for the last week. I have misplaced some of the numbers, and as far as what else we have been doing is 3 sets of 15 for a variety of machines, primarily arms and abs. I will try to regularly put up our numbers daily as well as my weights, and Victor's if he would like, weekly. As of yesterday I have lost a total of 5 pounds. Which is actually very exciting. Sure its only 5, but that is halfway to my December goal and I still have about 2 weeks to lose the other 5. Woot Woot!!

I have been doing my best to eat well and not drink soda, unfortunately I think I unwillingly had soda last night. I stopped at Sonic and ordered a Cherry Limeade (not thinking), and I am pretty sure those have like Sprite in them or some kind of carbonated liquid. Well that's my fun stuff for now I should be back on tomorrow with some kind of news, I may not be able to hit the gym but maybe I will finally go for a run around my neighborhood.
