Tuesday I was feeling sluggish and unsure what area to focus on. I ended up briskly walking, 4.5 miles +, on the treadmill then doing some core on the stability ball and legs on the machines. I got in the leg press, curls, extensions and abductions.
Wednesday morning I went to the cycle class again that had previously been on Thursday mornings at 5:30am. The last time I went they had a sub whom I really liked. This time, the regular guy was there and boy was he hard to understand. It's hard to get in the most efficient workout when you can't tell when the instructor is telling you to add resistance or speed. Not sure if that was just a music/mic issue. Will see next week.
Wednesday at lunch time I focused on upper body.
Flys
Bicep curls
Tricep extensions
One arm rows
Military press
Bench press
Lat pulls
Etc... I do many lifts that I don't know what the proper names are of them. I will look more into that and share here.
Today at lunch I stuck with cardio doing an interval run ranging from warm up/cool down at 4mph up to 8mph. I got in some core, including the plank and some stretches.
My water intake has been better. I can clock this on my calories/fitness counter app.
When deciding how frequently to do weigh ins, I came across the following web site:

So I suppose you have to decide what will work best for you and not lead you to discouragement. For now, I think I'm sticking with weekly weigh ins. I need to be doing these on cycle days when I am at the gym first thing in the morning and able to use their "doctor scales". I also will be sure to compare their scales numbers to my bathroom scale at home to check for accuracy.
Going to Florida!!!
