Today was a productive day at my desk. I was able to catch up on some paperwork from as far back as June. I actually enjoyed doing the documentation today.
AM:
we hiked at Seneca Park along the Potomac river.
Today’s adventure was at Seneca Park in Virginia. It is along the Potomac river and near River Bend Park. We saw horses, toads (even a red one!), dogs, birds, a green mushroom (I think that is a power-up), a small dead snake, other hikers and plenty of the river. We also found some papaws. My wife had to eat them. On the way onto the trail we realized I was wearing a red shirt. All you StarTrek TOS fans know what that means on away missions…
AM:
70 min bike ride while my wife jogged.
PM:
1 hour 42 min hike at Scott’s Run Nature Preserve.
It was great to head there today. The weather was cool and sunny. We had a great time there and then headed home for a few hours of Diablo 3. We made it to the second act. Fun all day. and we shared the fun together all day!
AM:
15 min stair climber
30 min elliptical machine
Today was a fasting day and also a working day. I got to spend enough time out of the office to not worry about snacking. I did pretty good today and kept my calories right about 1600. Tomorrow promises to be a fun filled hiking day. My wife and I spent a few hours playing Diablo 3 on the PS3. I have the game on the computer but did not get into it like I had when Diablo 2 was the game to play. We both played D2 so much that we bought a second copy of the game and set it up on a separate computer so we could both play. The PS3 version is superior to the computer version because we can both play at the same time, on the same screen, as a team, all with one copy of the game. We played for about 4 hours straight. It is that much fun.
AM:
24 min 4 rounds of 10 reps with 25 lb dumbbells
push-ups
overhead press
squats
dead lifts
curls

Today was a decent day of work. The work flowed slowly but steadily and time flew by. This was a good day!
AM:
10 min stair climb machine
30 min elliptical machine
Today I needed to work off site so my workout was shorter than normal. I also needed to help my wife load her truck for her road trip. She is out having fun and I am working, and working. It is all good though, that is just how it is sometimes.
I did not track all my calories today so I am not sure how close to the 1600 I am. I did not go crazy so I think I am close. I was feeling hungry for parts of the day and that is a sure sign. I am going to eat lighter tomorrow just to offset my not tracking today, but I am not limiting myself to 1600, since tomorrow is an eating day. I will go lighter tomorrow.
AM:
45 min elliptical machine
I lost a pound this weekend! Go figure. Today was an eat day so I will be heavy tomorrow but that is OK. I picked up Diablo 3 for PS3 and Miriam and I coop played and had a blast! Tomorrow I will be working off site and may have a good day, who knows anything is possible.
AM: Travel day home.
It was good to get home home and see our kitties. They were happy we were back. One funny thing we came home to…our front yard had patches of mushrooms growing. Really weird to see that.
AM:
1 hour 5.57 mile bike ride as my honey jogged.
PM:
35 min walk down the road to a pond to see a turtle.
Today was a lazy day and eating day. We got rained on for the hour long jog/ride. We then later went to a friend’s family business. Bensi Italian restaurant was great! We had a great meal, large portions and reasonably priced. they have multiple locations in NJ and I believe PA.
We hiked Crater Lake in NJ!
the road to the area has been closed for a couple years due to super storm Sandy. It is now open so we had to go there. We hiked around the lake then headed over to the Blue mountain lakes and hiked some more.
We saw so many different types of mushrooms! And of course my wife was eating wild blueberries and huckleberries.
