Spring Tease
Moving:
Abs: 40 crunches. Had to split ‘em up: 20, 15, 5, but I did them, and I did them with arms held up instead of behind my head (to try to keep the focus on my abs and not on my neck)
And 20 bicycles.
Arms: 2 minutes of the arm rotation thingies. Wow, is that rough. [...]
Monday = mon day. Own it.
New day. New week.
Same old same old.
Ha! Or: sigh.
Moving:
Abs: 30 crunches, 20 bicycles. I really rushed through these, since I was afraid I was gonna miss the bus. But I did them.
Arms: 3×10 modified push-ups.
Short walk at lunch (20 mins) plus long walk home.
——-
B (7:30 AM): coffee w/2%, kashi go lean w/blueberries and skim milk
L: [...]
Weekend
I eat a lot on weekends. Or I eat more than I do during the week, at any rate. Much of this is social eating. I’m not sure this is a problem….. I like to eat with friends and family; it’s a bonding thing. And, for the most part, I don’t eat crap (though sometimes [...]

Two nights of solid sleeping - not that there were no wake-ups whatsoever, but they were the very normal, roll-over-and-go-back-to-sleep sort. Not the recent rash of waking up to massive waves of hot flashes and lying there trying to recover sort. I feel like a new person!
Check-up yesterday was pretty good. EKG shows my heart [...]
A Matter of Faith
The scale here registered 130 this morning. With my shoes on. So this is good, and steady-as-she-goes is the name of the game here. I like my little morning workouts: abs and weights. These are not big deal exercises, and they take all of 10 minutes, usually, but I feel better afterwards, and that’s important [...]

The scale here this morning registered 130.4. Now, I didn’t have my shoes on. But still, it was awfully good to see the 130 there instead of 131 or 132.
Moving:
Core: 30 crunches (last 10 on obliques), 20 bicycles
Weights: 3×10 rows (8′); 3×8 tricep extensions (8′); 2 ‘regular’ push-ups + 6 modifieds
Cardio: walked in to work [...]
Tuesday, Or How Come Other People Can Come Up w/Cool Post Titles?
OK, time to stop calling this a plateau and start owning up to the fact that while I’m doing a good job with the daily (or almost daily) crunches and bicycles and am being okay with my food consumption, I’m not being great with the food consumption (i.e. chocolates). And I’m not drinking enough water. [...]

Definitely off the bandwagon this weekend. Oink oink. Sigh. I’m just not into it this year. I want to be. I’m soooo close to being in the 120s! (albeit high 120s!) And there’s the whole team thing. And yet I just feel f-l-a-t.
B (7 AM): coffee w/skim milk; kashi go lean w/skim.
L (12:30 PM): small [...]
Plateau
I guess I’m in a plateau, but maybe my efforts have been too scattered the past two weeks. At any rate, I’m getting the same 131.10 number today on the scale here as I had last week, so am going to register 130.6 on the official race site, just like last week, to account for [...]

I am hopeful that things are starting to align again. Doesn’t mean there won’t be bumpy patches ahead, but at least, for instance, I managed to get my bloodwork done this morning. And the sun is shining. And I am wearing pink sneakers.
Don’t know about ‘moving’ today. Another unusual day, schedule-wise. This afternoon and possibly [...]
