| My new running watch! GPS and all! |
A month has gone by since my last post... I've been away on a trip and was sick for 2 weeks. My workouts were non-existent while sick, but still managed to sneak a few workouts in at the hotels we were staying at and walk for hours during our trip. Also happy to report that I have lost 14lbs so far. Yay!
So last night was my first jog outside. Adorned with my new Garmin 405CX, I went for a 2.3km jog with my coach, doing intervals of 1 minute running, 1 minute walking. Took us forever to try and figure out this nifty watch I have, but alas, couldn't make it work.... so it was just an expensive watch. Boo. Was able to make it work this morning while playing around with it, so it'll be ready for tomorrow's run!
My hubby and I are now members of Vibraforme. It's similar to T-Zone vibrations. This machine causes the muscles to contract at extremely rapid speeds which causes an increase in muscle mass and thus reduce the excess fat in the body. A 10 minute workout makes you sweat like crazy but burns mega calories. They say up to 500 calories but counted it as less, just in case. I was nauseous afterwards but the trainer said that it was because I really pushed myself and overdid it. We'll see next time (which is on Friday!) It's not going to replace my workouts, not at all, but is a nice compliment to what I'm already doing. Hubby's doing this with me too! So proud of him for wanting to join me! My convincing phrase? "Dude, it's only 10 minutes" to which the trainer said: "did you just call him dude?" LOL! Now to work on his desserts..... ;)
