A break

I kind of took a break today. Still got the push ups in and a walk with the dog. But I bailed on Curves this morning. I had an AWESOME run last night, 6.5 miles! And my body this morning was a wee bit tired. So I decided to listen to my body and lay in bed until almost 9 am! Tomorrow, I'll work out harder tomorrow...

Leftovers

Got in a jog today, which felt good. Really should have gone longer, though, because I've been pigging out on leftovers tonight! Pizza! Salad! Pecan pie!

But, hey, no more dress to worry about fitting into!

Yesterday

Back to the club for 20 min elliptical, 15 min upper strength and 10 min of flexibility. Nothing yet today...boo hoo. Tomorrow's looking better for a another workout.

Walkin' the Mall

View of the Lincoln Memorial from close to the Washington Monument today during the inauguration! I'm sure Keith will have much funnier and poetic things to say about the day, but I am frankly way too tired to think of anything! Just wanted to post that we walked 6.2 miles today!

It's a New Week!

Alrighty then, managed 65 minutes in the spin class, and I mean managed.... It was a tough one!

If I work out and no one else does...

Do I really look better, or does everyone else just look worse?

COME ON, PEOPLE!!

What happened to the New Year's Resolutions???

Where is everyone?

So much for our all-out push at the start of the new year!!

I've been very lax the past few days, and I'm trying to blame it on travel. But that's really no excuse! I've got a ball gown to fit into in FOUR DAYS - I really need to get back on this horse!

What about everyone else? Please tell me you've been more dedicated than me???

Not so much of a fan of Lance...

Worked out with Lance this morning, and I'm not sure he's the man for me. He has questionable taste in music, and his interval training was predictably boring. After the warm up, it was 4 minutes of speed, 4 minutes recovery, 4 minutes speed, 4 minutes recovery... you get the point.

Also found 4 minutes of speed was really taxing, at least this first workout with him. So I think my recovery minutes were really, really slow. Because we have some numbers people on this blog, I'll be as nit-picky as to say that with Lance I was 8 seconds slower than I was last week with the more spontaneous (3 minutes speed, 2 minutes rest, 60 seconds speed, 3 minutes rest...) Serena.

Ok! Does this count as the most boring post I've ever done!?! Sorry! I've gotta be concerned with these things, since I've got a new, gorgeous, inaugural gown to fit into...!!!

Back to the Club This A.M.

30 min elliptical at the club today.... and stretching. Surprisingly, it was easier to get up at 4 a.m. today than it was the day before. That sounds scary!!! Not, hopefully, a long term plan, but necessary to get everything in these last few days! Later...

Wednesday Jan 7

Maureen, actually I KNEW I would get some comments on 2/5. Actually that meant 2 out of the first 5 days of January I had worked out. Now it's 3 out of 5 because I went to the club this a.m. and worked out 30 min on the elliptical, then stretched for 15 min. Anyway, sure does seem like January is clipping right along! Have a great day everyone....
