I checked my body fat % on Friday after the workout. It was 1% lower than I guessed it might be. Still way more than I want. I weighed on Saturday morning. I lost 1 pound. UG! Slow and steady I guess. I just want to loose 50 quickly so I can do something that is depending on that weight loss. It is so hard not loosing more than that.
Today, Ariel increased my workout. A lot. I am logging my exercise for me to refer back to later. This is what we did:
- Warm-up 10 min. on treadmill at 2.6 mph. (good warm-up speed for me)
- 3 sets of 15 reps: lat pull downs - 50 pounds (reg., wide, and reverse grip)
- " ": leg press - 95 pounds (reg., close, and reg. stance again)
- " ": calf press - 75 pounds (in between leg press)
- " ": bench press - with weighted bar (more difficult than 5 lb. free weight)
- " ": pullover ab crunch - with weighted bar (more difficult than free weight and in between bench press.
- floor leg work: front/back extension, inner thigh, and clam
- planks in between floor leg work
- front/side lateral raise - 5 lb. free 2s 15r(s=sets, r=reps)
- my "favorite" ab workout after lateral raise
- stability ball squats - 2s 15 r
- lunges - (step forward, dip down, stand, and bring foot back; hold 5lb. 2s 10r)
- ankle grab abs - crunch, then slide side to side reaching for your ankles (between lunge sets)
- bicep curls - resistance band 2s 15r (reg. and hammer)
- bosu ball crunch sets (center, right and left oblique; in between biceps)
- tricep dips (on bench - 2s 10r)
- stability ball crunch sets (same as on bosu ball; in between triceps)
Tough stuff, but I feel great!

That's a big workout! Hurray on one pound! Going in the right direction!
Great job Angel!!!! WHOO HOO!!! That is so exciting! I know you probably get this a lot from Mom, so do I, but at least you lost 1lb! And your % fat is down too!!! That is great!!! I'm using Davids Wii Fit to see how much I weigh. I haven't messured after the weekend and I think I will wait till tomorrow since I think i weighed on Wednesday last week. I understand about wanting to loose it all fast... I only loose about a pound when I weigh too... It stinks but at least you are getting down there. :) I love you! Keep it up! Thanks for the happy birthday on my blog by the way. :)
Awesome! That sounds tough. Good job on your own workout too. Isn't that cool that it felt too easy? Progress!! I really think it is addicting to workout. Easy to do, easy not to do, but think how you'll look and especially how you'll feel if you keep it up for a year! One day at a time and you'll be there before you know it. You go girl!!
