  • No Italian, no gym

    16 May 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I didn’t get up for the gym this morning. I wrote longer than I intended last night, which was good, but which kept me up later than I’d planned. I also owed Dan a phone call. Originally, I was going to call him at 8 PM and talk for half an hour. Instead, I called…

  • Workout #96 (Chest & back)

    15 May 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 AM and into the gym by 6 AM (the train was running a few minutes late this morning). Chest and back day today and I decided to break from the normal routine and try a few things I hadn’t done in a while.

  • Workout #95 (Cardio)

    14 May 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 AM and into the gym by 5:55. I tried my experiment again last night, covering up my clock so I can’t see the time, and once again, I slept pretty well. I woke up twice that I know, but got back to sleep pretty quickly. It did feel good to get back…

  • Workout #94 (Arms & shoulders)

    05 May 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I finally got in a good arms & shoulders workout today, my first since April 12. I upped the weights in almost every category, and surprised myself a little at what I was able to do, especially considering it had been a few weeks since I’d done arms & shoulders.

  • Workout #93 (Cardio)

    04 May 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I wasn’t going to workout today because I came into work early in order that I could leave early and since Dad was coming into town today, I didn’t think I’d get a chance. But when lunchtime rolled around, I figured I could get myself to the gym for at least a short cardio workout,…

  • Workout #92 (Cardio)

    02 May 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 AM and into the gym by 5:50. I can tell this morning that I haven’t done much strength training in the last two weeks because I’m a little sore in my chest, arms and back. Not as much as when I first started, but enough to be noticeable. Still, that didn’t stop…

  • Workout #91 (Chest & back)

    01 May 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 AM and into the gym just before 6 AM. Today was the first strength training workout I’ve done since April 12, and the first chest/back workout since April 10. April was a pretty bad month as far as workouts go, my worst since starting on this latest kick back in early December.…

  • Workout #90 (Cardio)

    27 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 AM and into the gym by 5:50 AM. I pushed myself a little harder this morning, feeling somewhat guilty for not having gotten any strength training this week. But it was a good workout, nonetheless.

  • No workout this morning

    26 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Ugh! Up too late again last night so I slept in late this morning and didn’t get up until 5:30 AM. I have done all my cardio this week so far, but no strength training in nearly 2 weeks now. I’ve really got to get back on the ball! Monday will be 9 weeks to…

  • Workout #89 (Cardio)

    25 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 AM and into the gym by about 5:50 AM. I managed to get in a full cardio workout this morning, even though I got to bed late again last night, which makes it very difficult to get up at 4:30.

  • Workout #88 (Cardio)

    23 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    After 10 days off from workouts, I was back in the saddle first thing this morning. I was up at 4:30 AM (after going to bed later than I would have liked) and I was into the gym by 5:50 AM. It was still warm out this morning, relative to how the temperatures have been…

  • Time off for good behavior

    17 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I find that as I approach my 100th workout since December 4, 2006, I am getting a little lazy about things, a little off track. My routines are no longer as routine. Sometimes I go into the gym in the morning, sometimes at lunch, sometimes in the evening, all of which is fine if it…
