Back on Track

When I last posted I was planning a hiatus. I needed a break and I took it!
But it wasn't easy as I knew that I had to reinvent my workout before I did my restart.
Here we are on day 2 of the restart and I feel pretty good. I made a few changes to the routine. I reduced the WII Fit portion by reducing it down to 10 minutes of Yoga stretching and increased the EA Sports Active circuit training to 35 minutes.
On alternate days I do Yoga stretching and 25 minutes of running. I follow every workout with 15 minutes of weight training alternating tricep/bicep curls with dumbell flys and presses.
Let's see how it goes.

Time Out!

At the end of May we traveled to South Florida for my sons wedding. We were there for 3 nights. It was a wonderful event and a great party. While we were there we used the hotel gym to work out. It was fairly well equipped with 2 treadmills and 2 elipticals, 1 weight bench and a variety of free weights. I had three very good workouts. We missed our workout on Monday as we were travelling. I did a restart on Tuesday once we were home and "oh" it was difficult. I got through the week with three pretty good workouts and a couple of runs. I had to take off Saturday and Sunday and Monday as our schedule didn't allow time to work out. Tuesday was one of the ost difficult workouts I've had in a long time and Wednesday wasn't much better. I did my Tuesday run at 27 minutes, not too bad. Wednesday was WII Fit Plus and EA Sports Active.
Problem on Thursday morning!
I couldn't do it!
I tried, I weighed in and I was up 3 pounds. I was totally unmotivated and I literally just gave up and went back to sleep.
I'm going take off the rest of the week to regroup. Monday morning will tell the tale.
