It has been nearly 2 weeks since I have been to the gym. I had a training session scheduled for this afternoon and I canceled it because I have too many meetings and would be cutting it too close, not to mention the fact that I’ll be wiped out after all of those meetings. All…
Bernard called me before noon and asked if we could push the session back from 4 PM to 5 PM and that was fine with me. I figured I’d still have plenty of time to vote (and I did). Today was lower body/core day. The gym wasn’t as crowded as it usually is on a…
Suddenly, a lot seems to be happening. I got the remaining work on my big project at work organized today and now have milestones to hit each of the next 5 Friday’s beginning tomorrow. This is actually a good thing because it keeps me on track with what I am supposed to be doing. Tomorrow,…
This was a good workout and except for some harder stuff toward the end, I’ve gotten to feel as though I’ve passed a milestone and hit my stride. My eating is getting better and more consistent (far from perfect, but better). And I’m feeling good during the workouts.
It was cardio again this afternoon. Once again, I limited myself to 30 minutes to avoid putting too much strain on my right knee. But I also tried an experiment. On Monday, my knee began to hurt at around the 20 minute mark. Today, I brought my AceTM knee brace and wore it while I…
This morning was the first time in a while that I did a full strength workout by myself. I decided that I much prefer doing these workouts in the morning than in the evenings and so I was up at 4:30 AM, had a good breakfast (cereal and milk, toast and orange juice) and then…
I headed over to the gym just before 4 PM with the intent of doing a 40 minute cardio workout. I ended up doing 31 minutes, mainly because of some pain in my right knee. I didn’t want to over do it. In any event, I had a good pace on the elliptical machine, doing…
I went into work a little late this morning to catch up on sleep I missed by arriving in late last night. The rest of my day was not very productive. I was in meetings all day long. I got a $50 iTunes gift card from Jim because I bought him dinner at the airport…
When I started my workout, the Yankees were down by one run going into the bottom of the 9th inning. I had to tear myself away from the array of TVs in the gym in order to get started and during the entire workout, I kept wondering if the Yankees managed to win.
The plan was to go to bed early last night, and get up at 4:30 AM to be into the gym by 6 AM. The problem was that at 9:30 last night, I called Dan and we ended up talking on the phone until 11 PM. And I didn’t actually end up going to sleep…
I have to get up at 4:30 AM for a morning workout. Nothing special, except it’s the first time I’ve gotten up to do a full morning workout by myself. I don’t meet with Bernard until Thursday afternoon.
Okay, maybe there is not as much of a difference as I thought, but I think I see a little improvement. Maybe? July 27, 2006 September 28, 2006
