Today I went to the fitness center.

Tina suggested that on non-strength training days, I spend 15 minutes on 3 different cardio machines.
Treadmill : 25 minutes working between 3.4 and 4.3 ; 2 intervals of jogging (4.3) for 1.5 min.
Exercise bike : 20 minutes working up to Lvl 5 at about a 19.4 pace.

Afterwards, I did:
Ab crunches : 30
In and outs : 20
Biceps curls with 8 lb dumbells : 12 reps / 2 sets

Goals

I weigh too much at this point. I'd like to lose at least 50 lbs. over the next year. By writing this down I hope to keep myself working towards this goal. Since last Sept. I've lost at least 12 pounds. I'm trying to work out at least 2-3 times a week at the gym. And at least 2-3 times at home for 30 minutes at a time.
