Just finished up at the gym and I’m waiting for Kelly so we can head home. I did 30 minutes of cardio, didn’t push too hard, and burned 407 calories. Some knee pain about 22 minutes in but nothing too bad. 4 small meals so far today and I’m making chicken for dinner for meal…
Just finished up 4 scene critiques for the writers workshop. Professor Gunn has us working on "setting" this week. I think I have two more critiques to write, but those scenes haven’t been submitted yet so there’s not much I can do. Very productive day at work today. My Universal Importer for the Big Application we’ve been…
I was moody this evening for reasons I can’t really explain. I’m rarely moody, but there I was this evening, with a little bit of inexplicable attitude. Saturday too. I blame it on the fact that I spent all day in "programmer mode" (I was in a lesser "programmer mode" on Saturday). But still, that doesn’t really seem…
Kelly and I planned for these to be a peaceful weekend–our first one in over a month, since moving to the new house. And for the most part, today was very peaceful. I went to bed early last night–by accident. I got in bed to read, and before I knew it, I just couldn’t focus on the page any longer.…
I cooked dinner last night. I mean, really cooked. I used one of the cookbooks that Mom & Dad got us. We defrosted some free range (or as Kelly likes to call them “happy”) chicken breast. Then when I got home from work, I made us “ranch chicken”. In addition, I made a side of…
What with all of the guests and visitors and activities this weekend, there was simply no time to post in “real time”. This morning, I’ve posted 3 backdated posts that cover the entire weekend: Friday Saturday Sunday Up at 6:40 this morning. Took Kelly into work and then took my to the airport. Kelly heard…
There’s nothing like feeling better after feeling sick. I went to bed sometime around 10 PM last night and slept pretty well. I didn’t get up until almost 8 AM. Kelly was already up. I had breakfast and then we both headed to the clubhouse to go to the gym. When we got there, we…
Back at it today. I did a full arms and shoulders workout, lifting a total of 17,250 lbs. which is a 2% improvement over last time. The workout felt very good and also very efficient. It usually takes me a little over an hour to do a full arms/shoulders workout, but it took me an…
I did a little more than 2/3rds of a workout today. I just felt weak. Maybe because I didn’t really eat beforehand. Today was chest and back and I did a total of 11,445. Not terrible but far from good.
I got in a full arms and shoulders workout at lunch today and it felt great. I upped the ante a bit once again. I did a total of 16,890 lbs., which is 10% better than last time. (There are diminishing returns to this and I don’t expect to maintain such increases from week to…
I did get to the gym yesterday for an abbreviated lower body workout. I hadn’t eaten properly beforehand, and I didn’t want to push things, particularly since I pushed myself pretty hard on the lower body workout a week ago. So I did a little more than a third of a normal workout. My back…
I did my workout a little early yesterday, 11 AM, because of lunchtime meetings. I did about 1/2 a full workout primarily because I started to feel light-headed during the second group and didn’t want to push things. I was hard-pressed to understand why I was light-headed, but I think it was because of the…
