Last night at the gym I started my workout with the Return to Running Plan so I could try to participate in the Twitter #fitblog chat<\/span>. It’d been a few weeks since I was able to participate and I missed chatting with everyone! There were a lot of good questions in last night’s chat. Here’s one:<\/p>\n

QUESTION: What is happiness to you?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It proved to be more difficult than I thought to participate while on a treadmill but I did my best. During the “walk” portion I would type or catch up on tweets, then I’d jog. Needless to say, it took me longer to complete the 1.5 miles. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Actually it took a lot longer than last time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After the walk\/jog for 1.5 mile, I began lifting weights.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I quickly realized something surprising: THE WEIGHTS WERE TOO LIGHT!<\/span> Every machine I did (that I normally do) was too EASY<\/strong>! Could it be that I had broken through another plateau?<\/p>\n

I was pretty excited. I increased the weight on almost every machine I use and had a fantastic workout. There was one triceps machine that I did not increase the weight with. That’s definitely an area of my body I still struggle with.<\/p>\n

After the weight lifting, I worked on my core and strengthened my hips:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I have three hip and IT Band strengthening exercises<\/a> I do. I see some progress since starting them three weeks ago. I don’t shake as much, but I’m not quite strong on my right side either. I hope that continues to improve.<\/p>\n

I ran into an old coworker at the gym. She said she was taking the Turbo Kickboxing class and said I should join her. Since my workout was over I said maybe next week. Now that I’ll know someone in the class that might push me to do it!<\/p>\n

Gym Stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time: 1:30
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Calories Burned: 601
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Routine: Treadmill, weights, core, stretching, strengthening<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I accidentally reset my watch before I could take a picture of my workout stats so I had to look in the “Diary.” Luckily it was the first workout of the week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got home and immediately drank my Glutamine muscle recovery drink.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I liked the orange flavor better.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I used my foam roller and then fixed leftovers for dinner. I reheated the last of the brown rice, steamed some veggies, and reheated the leftover burger patties from my magazine dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I used Goddess Dressing on the veggies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Reheated burger patties do not turn out very well. I didn’t eat much of them. Oh well. I had one scoop of ice cream for dessert.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And I played with Jeremy’s iPad for a bit. I’d never seen one before so it was cool to see.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It was a good night, a good workout, and I had time to watch a few episodes of Grey’s Anatomy before heading to bed.<\/p>\n
