Since this is what I need a journal for right now:

Workout with Tina the trainer

25 minutes cardio.  On the elliptical, warmed up at L2-L3,  baseline was L5.  Did 1 minutes intervals at L7 and L8.  Rest 1 minute at L5.  5 intervals.  cool down 2 minutes at L5. and the next 5 minutes at L4 and L3.

Circuit training:
Ball squats with weights:  8 lbs. 12 reps / 1 set ; 9 lbs. 10 reps / 1 set ; 10 lbs. 6 reps / 1 set
Chest flies on ball: 8 lbs. 12 reps / 1 set ; 9 lbs. 10 reps / 1 set ; 10 lbs. 6 reps / 1 set
Hamstrings of steel:
Reverse crunches with feet on ball: 12 reps
Roll ball back and forth to you with butt off ground: 12 reps
Reverse crunches with ankles on ball with butt off ground: 12 reps

Repeat (killer) ; ended up with multiple leg cramps
Stretch out hamstring by placing heel on ball and leaning over leg

ETA:  chest row with weights (standing lift weights from waist  to chest, move arms back into wing,  pinch shoulder blades together): 10 lbs. 12 reps / 2 sets
pushups: 12 reps / 2 sets

Core exercise:  Russian twist; hold weight with feet on ground or in "in and out" position, turn from side to side obliquely.  30 secs / rest / 30 secs. more

Workout was hard ; doing good except for hamstring exercises; need to work on those suckers more.

Good news:  Now fitting in size 24-26 pants.  While my weight is still up there, inches are definitely coming off legs and hips and waist.  Clothes are fitting much much better.  I have a lot more energy. 

I still can't believe I really do enjoy working out.  I didn't work out Thursday since I had a chance to go to a clothes sale with a gift certificate.  Found some really cute stuff, but boy did I miss my workout.
Today I made not the greatest choice of food for lunch.  Own up to them and move on.  Eat more veggies tonight.

Not that anyone is reading this right now.  But this journal is to give me a place to write out my workouts, to help me keep track of the exercises I've tried and give me ideas for things to try again.
It's a place for me to write up my thoughts about losing weight, and exercising.  As such it is inherently of interest primarily to me.  Sorry if you find it dull.  Move along.  Nothing to see here.
