  • Joy, you stated mine perfectly; however, I've decided to change it. As I sit here nursing a sore hamstring, I realize perhaps it's not that I'm just being too lazy or unorganized to make the shortened weekend gym hours, but rather I need a break and the shortened weekend hours make that possible. I had good intentions, but please change my goal to "Gym 5 days a week." Thanks!

    Revised Goal: Make it to the gym 5 days a week

  • Yesterday's exercise was vacuuming the heavy drapes in the bedroom. There are railroad tracks a block away so we need them to deaden the sound. Cleaning them is a big project and I feel it in my arms, shoulders, and hips this morning.

    Jacqui_D: hope you're feeling better soon! It's a tricky business getting the exercise at the right place -- I get pain from too little exercise and from too much. I have to find the sweet spot.

    It's been a pretty lazy weekend since I've been sick. A few short bike rides but no running. I'm hoping to feel well enough tomorrow after work! At least the sickness has kept me from overeating lol
