Saturday, June 7th:
60 minute spin class, as usual, pedaling through the weight and resistance band intervals, since I did strength training yesterday and will do it again tomorrow.

Sunday, June 8th:
NROLW 2B, for the second time, a little better at the front squat push-press, still not good at balancing, though better than the time before, which I guess is all that I can ask for.
Afterward, 25 minutes on the StairMaster, thanks to the airconditoning, as the humidity seems to take a lot out of me in these sessions
And a heavenly day outside, meant for running and biking, which made me regret a little my commitment to this weight program. I will go for a nice walk outside today instead.

35 minutes Turbo Jam today. Spent an hour walking around the city yesterday in 90° heat. It was a hot one!

Monday, June 9th:
45 minute spin class with a new instructor who simulates road riding and kept us on the seat a lot, which is better for my feet
I didn't want to go, feeling sleepy from the overcast weather and all-day drizzle, and even yawned once atop the bike. But midway through class, I realized I felt much better and far more energized, and I was glad I'd made the effort.
Tuesday, June 10th:
NROLW, Stage 2, workout B, for the second time. Got "what the heck is she doing?" looks from some women who were stretching in the studio while I was doing deadlifts from a deficit atop an aerobics step. This is not a gym where women do much strength training except on the machine circuit.
Afterward, for the HIIT workout, walking at 3.0 and sprinting from 6.7-6.9. The first half-minute of the sprint feels delightful, the next quarter is hard work, and the last quarter is "Can she do it?" Kind of like my plank-holding. The other thing is my constant low-grade concern about the treadmill. Sprinting on a track would be one thing but the moving belt brings a whole new level of fear into the intervals. I'm afraid I'll stop suddenly and go flying off the back. I need to practice jumping on the sides. I don't trust that I can execute that correctly and safely.

Okay guys, brace yourselves . . .
I WENT TO THE GYM!!!
I felt a little embarrassed slinking into my office gym after more than a year away, since the same people who I always saw there before were there now, but I went in and I did 20 minutes on the upright stationary bike on random at level 3, and a couple minutes of yoga stretches.
I think I am going to start a food log thread like I used to do. Anyone interested in joining me?

Wednesday, June 11th:
45 minute spin class, painful, due to inflammation in my right-hand big toe joint. Should never, ever wear heels to work on the day of this spin class, as the instructor likes the standing jog movement a lot.
Thursday, June 12th:
60 minute elliptical, random intervals, alternating backward and forward, resistance at nine, getting better at the backward due to all the leg work I've been doing, which has focused on hamstrings and glutes
60 minute Pilates class -- we did the prone cobra that's part of this NROLW phase!
