Weightloss Wednesday #4

I'm continuing to go to the gym 3-4 times a week. I feel really good after I work out, so am loving it. Yesterday was the 28th Anniversary of Goodlife Fitness Clubs, so there was a celebration at all the clubs across Canada. From 5 to 9 pm they had free food, some info booths, prizes to be won... all for members and their guests. Our club is for Women Only, but several people brought husbands and boyfriends as their guests. I didn't bring a guest as I didn't know anyone who wanted to go, but if I'd known we could take men I would have had a few that likely would have gone. Actually, I felt a bit uncomfortable having guys there, especially when doing stretches and such... bending over exposing my butt to the world, or on my back with my legs up. I much prefer having it women only.

I got there just after 5 and after putting my stuff into the locker I went out and had something to eat, did some visiting, then worked out:
3 minute warm up on the Treadmill
12 weight machines
Stretches
30 minutes on the Elliptical machine (5 @ level 1 + 5 @ level 2 + 10@ level 3 + 5 @ level 4 + 5 @ Cool Down - machine cuts you down to lower levels)

Then I went and had sampled some more of the food they were offering, and sampled a very healthy hot chocolate from a vendor that was there selling Healthy Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate. I don't drink coffee (tastes and smells horrid IMO), they were all out of tea, so I had the HC. Also talked about the health properties of these and the business opportunity available. I'll be looking into this more.

I figured since I was still there I may as well do some more exercise, so went to the Recumbent Bike and started working peddling. I set the timer for 15 minutes at level 4, then as I went I added 5 more minutes, then 5 more, etc. In total I ended up doing 30 minutes @ level 4 + 5 @ level 5 + 5 @ Cool Down + 40 minutes.

Summary:
Total cardio: 1 hour 13 minutes
12 weight machines

For over a week I was under Chiropractor orders to not work out my arms (upper back problem), so I added 3 more machines for my legs. When I again was allowed to work the arms/upper body, I decided to keep doing the extra 3 legs, so instead of doing the usual 9 machines I now do the 12. Also I've a few times now managed to do 30 minutes on the elliptical. 6 weeks ago I couldn't do the elliptical at all, so feel I've come a long way in a short time. So far as I can tell I haven't been loosing weight/fat, but will weigh and measure again soon... maybe today even. I'm sure I should soon be seeing the fruits of my labors.
