Up at 3:50 AM, had cereal for breakfast, read for about 50 minutes and then headed to the gym for a 40 minute cardio workout, followed by a full group of chest in preparation for a full chest/back workout tomorrow. I watched season 1, episode 2 of Greatest American Hero while doing the cardio workout.…
Well, I did it! I completed my 6th workout for the week. I managed 3 full strength workouts this weeks and 3 full cardio workouts, and I’m pretty happy with my first week back to a disciplined workout routine. I’m hoping to keep up the pace this week. I was up at about 8 AM, made some…
As I mentioned earlier, I didn’t get to the gym this morning, but I did go tonight, making me 5 for 5 this week. I headed to the gym at about 8 PM for 40 minutes of cardio, followed by a full group of arm and shoulder exercises. My lower body is very sore today–hard to climb the…
Up at 3:45 AM. Had three scrambled eggs, toast and juice for breakfast. I read for about 30 minutes and the headed across to the gym. It was freezing out–single digits with the wind chill, but fortunately, the gym is right across the street. Today was lower body day. I debated going into Bally’s to…
Up at 4 AM after getting to bed a little earlier last night. Still not a great night’s sleep, but not terrible either. I had cereal for breakfast and then read for about half and hour before heading to the gym. I did 40 minutes of cardio. I picked up the pace a bit this…
Up at 4 AM and after a breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast, I headed to the gym at 4:50. I got in a full strength workout, including the usual 5 minutes of cardio warm-ups. I’m starting back at the beginning, not trying to overdo things and not trying to strain myself. I did a total of…
I did it! I was up at 4 AM. I headed downstairs and had a bowl of cereal for breakfast (since I was only planning a cardio workout this morning). I then sat down to read more of Beyond Band of Brothers. At about 4:55, I headed across the street to the gym. There were two other people…
Yup, one of those days. I was up at 6 AM, headed downstairs to feed the cats and pack my lunch. Strangely, when I was done packing my lunch, I still didn’t hear the shower going. Kelly was still asleep. I got her up and then came back down to eat breakfast. A little while later…
We had a lazy Saturday morning and finally got our act together and headed out for a while. We took the metro downtown to Archives and then walked to the newly remodeled Museum of American History, where we spent a couple of hours wandering around the exhibits. It is a remodel of the museum, and…
Good work day today, very productive. Bad weather day, lots of rain and general nastiness. We stopped at the grocery store on the way home to pick up some things. I made ravioli for dinner, mine with pasta sauce, Kelly’s with chicken soup broth. Yum! It hit the spot. No interesting mail today. I got…
I got in my first full cardio workout in a really long time this evening. I headed down to the gym just after 8 PM (hoping it wouldn’t be too crowded) and did 40 minutes of cardio on the elliptical, plus a 5 minute cool down. It felt good throughout. I didn’t try to push myself, kept the pace…
Yes, I was supposed to be up at 4:30 AM to head to the gym today, and no, I did not get up at 4:30 AM and head to the gym today. All started out well. I went to bed around 8:45 last night. I fell right asleep. The trouble started when I woke up around 1 AM and…
