It was all about new beginning at the gym and pushing to reach for those intense moments.

I arrived before LeeAnn so I got right to work on the treadmill. I wanted to revisit that 15 incline. This is the stats just before I turned off the machine as LeeAnn was there to get started on the weights.

Wow, she gave me a workout! I think the hardest part for me was when she suggested I do some pushups. “Pushups, sure” I said…”I’m willing to do what you suggest”. I did give her 4 really good ones, but the last two bordered on cheating. I’ll be adding those to the weight portion of the workout 3 times a week. It will be interesting to see how things progress.

I spent about 45 min with her, mind you it was not a full solid 45 min as she explained each weight and the proper way to use them. So that did factor in some time. However, I was definitely sweating through the weight portion. Good stuff!

After the weights, I moved over to the Fit Stride Total Body Trainer and pumped out 20 more min. Then I called it a day at the gym.

Post workout fuel – A big bowl of my favorite oatmeal with a med (very ripe) banana. The riper the better, especially in the oats.

I’ve got a little list of things I would like to pick up today, one being a crock-pot. I’ve got a coupon for Macy’s and perhaps I’ll check out some other places before I make the purchase. Hubby is in the mood for stew and the crock-pot back in NY is not doing us any good here in CA. I’ll have some stew on soon, my love.

Cheers to New Beginnings!
