I went for a jog this AM!
It was cold out so I had to bundle up. I was slower than usual but I was not in a rush either so all was good. Along the way I saw 3 bunnies hanging out. Two were big and fluffy. I hope to be better acclimated to the cold so I can keep on jogging. My wife thinks she will be ready to start again next week.
Nothing else exciting. Work is work and Borderlands 2 is a great time once I get home. Life is good!
AM:
20 min lower body elliptical machine
10 min upper body bike machine
20 min bike
Today was a weird one at the gym. I was planning on dividing my time between different machines and the first machine I was working out on had the timer stop working while I was on it! I look down and see 12:36 has passed and I decide to go until 20 minutes has gone by. SO I am listening to a song on my cell phone and it is over so I look down to see how close I am to 20 minutes and it is saying 12:36 has passed. WTF? So I get off and go to the next machine. Bummer. Work was busy so that was good but I am feeling really tired. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day all around.
And here is a little something for anyone that might be a collector of fine things:
AM:
12 min mile on treadmill
8 sets leg presses
4 sets DB overhead presses
4 sets ez bar curls
Today was a busy day at work. I had a lot of up and down work reaching into the computer room racks. I feel like I did a good bit of activity during the day.
AM:
15 min jog treadmill
40 min elliptical machine
This morning was a warm and foggy morning. I really wanted to jog this AM since I was feeling good but decided against it since I knew I might need a bathroom break mid jog. I did run at the gym for a while and it felt good. I hope tomorrow feels good as well so I can get out there.
AM:
4 rounds of:
Push-ups
DB overhead presses
body weight squats
DB dead lifts
Alt. arm curls
sit-ups
We went shopping today to pick up more holiday gifts. This year has been the best shopping experience we have had in years!
Rest day!
Today was a reset day. My wife was out late for her company holiday party and I was up late playing video games and sipping on some beers. We both slept in late and had plans on what we needed to accomplish today. We made it to the bank, went shopping in a store that was not on our list but were able to buy gifts for many on our list, and stop a pizza place and have a great lunch. We made it home to relax and watch some TV and both of us fell asleep on the couches! We were tired still from the night before.
Tomorrow should be back to normal for us.
AM:
30 min stairmaster machine
25 min elliptical machine
Today was a pretty good day. I did skip a PM workout to help my wife out with something that she needed delivered so that was both bad and good at the same time.
Tonight was a hospital party for my wife. She was super cool and did not require me to go so I got in many hours of borderlands tonight. I played until 12:30 in the morning. WOW! Haven’t done that in a while.
Today I needed to work on an “off site” location. I needed to be there my regular time so I needed to leave the house an hour early. I modified mt workout routine to make this possible.
AM:
30 min bike
Work went well and I was easily able to get done what I needed to. I needed to return back to the office and found out there was some actual talk about bringing us on as regular employees. We were asked about our salary requirements so we gave what we thought was fair and could not get a read on the manager if that was doable or not. Who knows. I guess we will know once an offer is actually made (or not made…)
AM:
6 sets hack squats
4 sets machine shoulder press
4 sets Triceps pull downs
20 min elliptical machine
PM:
Working on my wife’s Christmas gift! Top Secret stuff.
We ran today!
We were doing great but then Miriam felt a really bad cramp hit her one calf muscle. We were only a few blocks from home so she walked home with me jogging slowly with her. Her leg bothered her on and off throughout the day. I was initially worried it could be her Achilles’s tendon but she did not think that was it. She talked with her Doc at work and he is thinking I may be right. She will be taking it easy for the next few days and she where she is after that.
PM:
30 min bike
I think I figured out a great gift for my Honey Bunny and now I need to work on it in stealth mode so she does not figure it out before I can complete it.
