what does a good work out look like? and some more junk!

I say a lot that I had a good work out, but a lot of people have asked what that means? I log what I eat most of the time and I always log when I excercize and I wanted to give you a glimpse into my idea of a REAL good work out! Here is what I did yesterday and today (in this order)! Thursday 9/25/08 weight & cardio day Elliptical Machine - 10 minutes - 148 calories Weight Machines 3 sets 10 reps of each (vert. press 55lbs, tri-pull 40lbs, curls 45lbs) Elliptical Machine - 11 minutes - 160 calories Weight Machines 3 sets 10 reps of each (rear delt. 37.5, pect. fly 67.5) Elliptical Machine - 12 minutes - 177 calories Weight Machines 3 sets 10 reps of each (weight row 85lbs, lat. pull 65lbs) Elliptical Machine - 13 minutes - 190 calories Tredmill Machine - 14 minutes - 128 calories Friday 9/26/08 cardio kick tail day! Elliptical Machine - 70 minutes - 1,025 calories Tredmill Machine - 20 minutes - 158 calories So these are 2 different examples of what I consider (for me) to be a good stinkin' work out! If I could work these in everyday along with eating well I would be a lot further along, but it is 1 step at a time! It is not anywhere near what the biggest loser does with 6 hours a day, but God is helping me to see results...and it is working! We will get there! Keep me and Amber both in your prayers as we strive to stay in pursuit of God, strive to keep losing weight (making the belt a little looser!) and as we walk by faith...for HIS glory! Be encouraged! -jimmy akers PS. To answer a few more questions that I have been asked... Father Tom Sanders is the one that 1st suggested the concept to me of losing weight in front of the whole church to help raise funds for youth group and for accountability for me to lose weight in april! Friar Brad Dembo is the one that helped me with the Logo...all in all...I am stoked to see what God is going to do! Goal poundage to try to lose for "the belt is looser" campaign = 60 lbs Which would put me at a total of 100 lbs lost for the year...heck yeah! How do we make our donation?...come this sunday for the 1st official weigh in and you will get that info! If you can't attend our church...email me and I will fill you in! pastorjimmyakers@gmail.com
