Our workout lastnight was the most extreme to-date, we did circuit traning and let me tell you it quickly takes the steam out of you, but it keeps your heart rate up and your definitley burning alot of calories.
I just wanted to say how proud i am of my wife and how great she is doing, she just keeps on going like the energizer bunny! Keep it up babe your doing awsome and looking so good!
hopefully the weather will be better today to take my daughter to the park and walk/jog around the track .

Good weekend

We had a good weekend of working in the yard and geeting ready for the gardening season, our diets however got just a little off track but we are re commited to watch what we are eating , in fact Thank you Eric for the great idea of the WW reciepe book. We went to Barns and Noble and bought one for ourselves and love all the great food ideas.
I am hitting the treadmill after work tonight and get my workout for today
Good going everybody hope to see you @ the gym!

weekend where are you?

we had a great hrad workout lastnight with riley, we were both exhausted aftewards but
I feel great this morning, I know i am getting stronger because I am doing 3 reps on all my weight training now. I am ready for some good weather this weekend to get out into the yard and out into the mountains!

Week 5 is here..

Hey everyone, its another new week and another great chance to better myself.
Since we got our own treadmill Christi and i have been able to work out 6 days last week like we should be and its been very rewarding.
I have lost some more weight and my wife keeps telling me how good i am looking ( even though i dont see it yet, but who does when its yourself right? ) I honsestly thought i would hate this program but i am suprised to realize that i dont and i love the way it has made me feel, Like Traci said that first day " she is addicted to the way excersize makes her feel" , I feel the same way.
I have noticed my wife and how the pounds are falling off of her and how excersizing makes her happier and less stressed and i really like that.
We meet with our awsome trainer Riley tonight and i am looking forward to it.
Its hard to believe its already been 4 weeks hasn't it?
hope to see you at the Gym!

Week 5 off to a good start!

We picked up a treadmill over the weekend and I got a great workout on it last night with a 2.0 incline @ 3.3 speed for 40 full min. Back to see Riley tonight for some hard training but i am begining to like it. What i really like is how i feel afterwards and the energy levels i have gained.
As for the food...... its been a little tough but i think it will get better, yesterday i was way under my calories i am allowed so i was excited about that.

I dont know how Christi does it sometimes she really has a mountain of things going on with school and work and church and finding time to spend with her family, but she does and really admire her for all she does for us , her family.
I think your doing awsome babe and I am having a great time doing this with you!!

I like reading all of your blogs and knowing your all going through the same triumphs and setbacks we are, and i appreciate all the nice comments i get thank you. You all are doing really great keep it up!!
We are getting excited for the weather to warm up so we can get out and do some hiking in the outdoors and put our new found energy to good use.

Good morning everyone

I really enjoy my workouts with our trainer Riley, He is a great guy to work with and he always keeps tabs on us so that we are working hard yet not overworking us. He is full of great information too, if we have a question he never hesitates in trying to answer it for us. We had a great workout on tuesday and I notice that i have alot more energy than i have had before and like Brenda i too have a spring in my step now.
Tonight we are back at the gym and i can honestly say i am excited to go, i need to work on doing better at working out at home too but its tought finding time when i work so late and my wife is at school 2 nights a week . I guess i may have to get up early and do it.

Team ICY-HOT

I forgot to mention that on thursday working out with our trainer Riley, someone had mentioned team pink was coming that night to work out and we got talking and Riley and I came up with a funny/unique name for Christi and I
Team ICY-HOT ! Because our last name is Winters and I am icy and she is hot..? maybe but

mainly because after my workout on tuesday of last week I overworked my triceps and was hurtin alot! and was using ice packs on my sore muscles and using the hot tub for some relief.......lol

Great weekend!

I guess its about time i updated my blog,... On friday we had our nutriton class and both of us thought is wasvery informative and the booklets we got we just love because it better explains portion sizes and whats a good fat and a bad fat.

Saturday was christi and I's 1 year wedding anniversary and we decided to go south to Zion's nation park, What a beautiful place!!!! I have seen it on tv hundreds of times but until you are there, the tv does it no justice. On saturday we went on some hikes in the canyon and i was blown away with the towering red rock, I think we hiked a good 4 or 5 miles through waterfalls and wild turkeys. I would love to go back.
We probably ate a little more than we should have this weekend, but we didnt lose all control either with our celebrating. This week we want to plan some meals from the booklets we were given on friday and get back on track.
its been fun seeing all of you at the gym
