Up at 4:20 AM and into the gym at 5:50 AM. The commute was a little strange. Normally, the second train of the morning is a Yellow line train that I can take all the way into work. The sign said yellow line, but then switched to Green line. When the train arrived, it said…
There’s almost nothing that feels as good as hitting stride in a cardio workout and I hit my stride early this morning and got the endorphins flowing. I worked my way back to a 40 minute session on the elliptical and it really felt good. No straining at all, and the time went by quickly.…
I had a lunch time strength training session at the gym today, chest and back, and I got in a full workout without feeling like I was going to pass out. Actually, it was my best workout since getting back into things. Rather than bore people with the clinical details of my workouts, as I…
Just back from the gym. I didn’t go this morning, but I did go at lunch. I did 30 minutes of cardio this time, and am steadily building my way back to where I was at my peak. I’ve been to the gym 4 days in a row now and that feels pretty good.
I got to the gym at lunch and did a solid lower body workout and now my legs feel completely drained of energy. Mind you, I don’t feel at all like I did on Monday. It’s just that my lower body workout was pretty intense. I imagine I’ll be sore on Friday, if not sooner.…

I got home pretty late last night and didn’t end up getting to sleep until sometime around 1 AM. Nevertheless, I was up just before 4:20 this morning and for the second day in a row, I made it into the gym. Today I did cardio. I didn’t do the full 40 minutes, but I’m…
I finally did it. I was up at 4:20 AM, had some breakfast and then caught the first Yellow line into work in order to hit the gym this morning. My plan now is to make MWF strength training days and TThSa cardio days. Today was great. I did nearly three full groups of chest…
Talk about a slump! A month without going to the gym. I feel it. I’m lazier. I have less energy. I eat poorly. Case in point, tonight: I got home from work, plopped down on the couch, and read for an hour. I dozed off every 5 minutes or so. Then I spent about 20…
Yes, another cardio workout. No strength training yet for two reasons: (a) I tell myself I’m easing back into things and (b) I’m lazy. But I’ll get there. To make up for it, I really pushed myself today on the elliptical, setting a pace of 150 calories every 10 minutes, which would be a record…
After over three weeks of skipping the gym, I finally got back on the wagon yesterday at lunch, doing my first full cardio workout in nearly a month. It went pretty well, and I felt good through the whole workout, but I’ve got a ways to go before I’m back to the condition I was…
Up at 4 AM (which is really 7 AM ET, so it was kind of like sleeping in). Turns out the fitness center in the hotel opens at 5 AM so I had nothing to worry about. Better yet, I had the entire place to myself for my workout, which was kind of nice.
