Week 7

Continuing to work out, feeling better, I think I'm looking better too -- wore a pink knee-length skirt that I bought in Athens 2003 or 2004 . . .  it had been too tight and rudely clingy for me to wear for the last two or three so years, and it felt great to finally be able to fit into it again!  Of course, it's elastic-waist and stretchy, but still, it looks so much better.  Here's week 7 workouts:

M:  20 mins

T:  30 mins

W:  15 mins

Th:   25 mins

F:  10 mins

Sa:  15 mins

Su:  5 mins

again, the short workouts (5-10 mins) are so I can "say" I did a workout every day, plus, it gives me that forward momentum to clamber on the elliptical every day.  When I skip a day, it's extra difficult to restart -- it's easier to just make a habit of it.  This week I didn't have many long workouts, usually I try to get them in on the weekends but this week my "flow" started on Thursday . . . . ick . . . . just didn't feel like doing anything too genki, but I did force myself to do a little every day.

I begin w/ 3-4 mins (one song on  my pinkie ipod) at level 4, then continue with level 5 the rest of the time.  My HR is always around 120 or so, often a bit higher.  The beginning of the week it got up to 137, but I like to keep it at 120 for now.   Here's to a great week 8!!
