Good workout today. I did 40 minutes on the elliptical, and burned 591 calories going 3.16 miles. For some reason, 600 calories in 40 minutes is a kind of pinnacle to me, but I’ve still got a way to go. Today, I kept the pace up at 82 RPM for most of the workout and…
I got in a full arms and shoulders workout today. I pushed a little harder this time and it felt great. I did a total of 15,330 lbs. compared to last arm/shoulder workout where I did 12,720 lbs. That’s an increase of about 21%. I impressed myself by doing 3 full sets of bicep curls…
We had dinner with AJ and Denisse last night at Bertucci’s and it was a lot of fun seeing them and hanging out with them for a while. Also, our “Save the Date” post cards arrived, and they look great! They were made by he11o_sunshine over at Buttercream Cards and we love them! This had…
Since getting back into the groove of 6x/week workouts, I hadn’t yet done a lower body workout until today. At lunch I headed to the gym and did an almost-full lower body workout, my first in a very long time. Lower body has always been my strongest and I did pretty good coming back to…
I did a little more than 2/3rds of a normal strength workout for chest and back today. I was a little late to the gym because of a meeting. I normally do flat bench presses first because that is where I do the most weight. But I saved them for last today (all of the…
Got in a full 40 minute workout on the elliptical at lunch today. I pushed a little harder and did 588 calories and 3.15 miles. I sweat like crazy, but I didn’t feel tired throughout the entire workout. What’s more, my heart rate is definitely coming down. I maintained a pace of about 81 or…
I got in a full arms and shoulders workout today at lunch and it felt really good. I am almost back to where I left off at my peak. I did a total of 12,720 lbs, 9 exercises broken into three exercise groups, with three sets of each. My arms and shoulders are a little…
I set a personal record by going 41 hours without sleep. After work yesterday, Kelly and I went out with another friend to see Sex and the City. It was a 7:10 PM show and I remember seeing the movie just fine. But I remember almost nothing thereafter. Kelly tells me we walked home, I…
I didn’t get to the gym yesterday for chest/back, but I got to the gym today for my cardio workout. I got a full 40 minute workout in, did 583 calories and 3.12 miles. For a change of pace, I listened to Living Colour’s Vivid album, which is almost perfect length for a 40 minute…
A full cardio workout at lunch today. 40 minutes on the elliptical, burning more than 570 calories and going 3.11 miles. I probably averaged 79-80 RPM throughout the workout, not quite as much as last time, but it still felt good to be doing it. Came back, dashed to a meeting for 15 minutes before…
Another lunchtime cardio workout. I did 40 minutes, once again on level 3 and this time I pushed myself a bit. I stayed at about 81-82 RPM the entire time and I did a total of 586 calories and 3.13 miles. My heart rate was back up but that’s to be expected with the higher…
I did my first chest/back workout in a long time today. Actually, it was about 3/5ths of a full workout. I wanted to keep it light because (a) I didn’t want to overdo it, and (b) I wanted to start close to where I left off in terms of weight. I did 10,360 lbs. I…
