AuntieJan's Journal, 27 Apr 11

I did it! I finally did a whole 20 minute session on the elliptical machine this morning... followed by 20 on the treadmill using a combination of both walking 3.5-3.8 mph and jogging 4.2-4.5 mph. Skipped the weight machines today, just stretching and cardio. Plus work continues on studio, that's almost enough work on its own.

So take that Mr. E... you are now firmly in my sites!!! Next up... higher levels of intensity. Gotta keep changing it to prevent burnout and plateau, which I may have hit. Scale hasn't budged so far this week, but I had this happen last month too, then the following week it was *boom* hello lower numbers. I'll be happy to break out of those 50's, yes ma'am. It will be soon, too.

Next week will be a whole different game... while at my friend's house I probably won't go to the gym every day because that Planet Fitness is about 10 miles away, and with gas prices so high I think I'll just take advantage of the pool and an excellent walking/biking path nearby. I'll take my dog with me there.

I found a couple pics of my furkids I thought I'd share today...

This is Onyx, I brought her home from a vet I worked for a few years ago. She was brought for boarding and never picked up. She is my foofy black shadow!


And this is Snickers, one of three orphan kittens I brought home and bottle fed. They never left of course.

This is Skeeter, my boy kitty of the bottle kittens... he's batting at the radar animation, my weather cat!

And this all three of them, they were "helping" me unpack Christmas ornaments.

And last but not least, my sweet Molly, who will be ten this year. I've had since she was a tiny puppy.

Have a super day! Back to work for me now.
