I did probably 10 minutes of leg lifts/sit ups/punches last night. I don't know exactly, though. I didn't time it. I was more concerned with how many I did, but at this point I can't remember.
I went to the gym today, because I ran several errands last night and by the time I was done, the gym was closing. I weighed myself before exercising, and I was 159. It's better than 161, which I was last time I went. I ran on the elliptical for 40 minutes. I ran more than 2.2 miles, but I don't know much more than that. I know it was 2.2 the last time I checked and it was close to when I was done. Then, I got on the weight machines (I'm actually starting to like them, which I never thought I'd say). I did 10 reps each, to make it easier to remember. I did 3 sets at 50lbs on the deltoid machine, 3 sets at 50lbs on the tricep machine, 3 sets (per side) at 30lbs on the oblique machine, 3 sets at 50lbs on the quad machine and was finally able to use the ab machine after waiting for three different people to use it, and did 5 sets at 90lbs.
The reason for the title of this post is because I use the OrthoEvra patch (patch=pirate, get it?) to alleviate the cramps I would get every month. Now I get them every 3 months. But, anyway, I just switched it yesterday (they have to be switched weekly) and I have come to realize that I basically can't sweat, swim or shower within 24 hours of switching it, because the adhesive hasn't set yet. It is very annoying and not very easy to try to exercise, swim or shower while trying to hold the patch on at the same time. It still hasn't fully adhered again yet, because I both sweated and showered today. So, arrrggghhh! I'm a pirate!
Oh, BTW, this workout put me over 3 hours, which makes my goal attained! That's two weeks in a row and I'm very proud of myself. I never did go to get the undies from last week, or the one to replace my first one that got eaten by the dryer, so now I'm up to three new pairs of undies!
