Zig's Zag
My ueber-goal is to pursue Physical Fitness. I don't know what that is, but since I need to define it to pursue it, I've stolen my first set of goals from PB Total Body Transformation (p. 130):

I'll adjust the start numbers on Friday, even though the days won't be the same, that's okay. |
Wednesday was a rest day.
I'd really like to take a walk this afternoon. My problem is overcoming the inertia of putting on the walking clothes. That is so lame, but really that's my problem, and that inertia is BIG. :( |
I called around, no one wanted to take a walk with me due to the black rain cloud hovering over town (and already raining in some neighborhoods).
So I decided to go to the gym, which closed in 1 hour. Just enough time for me to change, get there, have about 30 minutes on the ellliptical with some music. I went to change my clothes, decided I was too lazy to go to the gym and wanted to take a walk after all. So I went to my favorite park which has a huge wide open area, bundled up ready for rain. I walked 45 minutes. The last 43 minutes of those 45---brilliant sunshine! Fresh air, no clouds between my face and the sun. I was as happy as a cat in a sunbeam. :D |

... Then I got dressed, hemmed, hawed, drove to the gym, checked in and got the key, then exercised for ~30 minutes:
I'm glad I went. I feel good about myself for going, in spite of the fact that my gym buddy called and cancelled at the last minute (grr). I actually prefer lifting days when alone, so since he's only going Tu and Fri, I'll make my lifting days now be M, Th, and Sa. Then I can keep him company on Tu and Fri, when I'm supposed to do elliptical slow and prolonged stuff (very boring, but I vary the resistance and incline then pretend that I'm slogging up a mountain that's really muddy! lol :lol: ). I'll have to see how 3 lifting sessions per week works---will that give me enough recovery time in between?? We'll see... |
Saturday 7-Jan-12 was a rest day.
Sunday 8-Jan-12 will be also, unless I take a walk, because the sun is shining and it looks beautiful outside (though chilly). Will update if needed. ETA: needed! :D That sun was too enticing. So I went for a walk, intending 15-20 minutes (to spare me the achilles pain of last week) which was more like 40 minutes. :thup: yay me! |

Rest day today (Monday 9-Jan-12)
|
Lifted weights today, when I went to the gym with dad. I've decided I don't like lifting on the days he does---he's less focused than I, and SOOOOOOOO chatty (chatty daddy? lol). So on days we go together, I'm switching so I do a program on the ET, or my mountain climbing in the mud, instead. Then on days I go alone, I can lift in silence (unless someone is there and is playing music, which I hope has only happened the once it ever will).
Today:

Wednesday 11-Jan-12
Another rest day today. I kept chastising myself for not going outside (beautifully sunny, but COLD) or not going to the gym (had planned to do a light 30 minutes on ET). I just couldn't make myself do it. Tomorrow is a new day! :thup: |
Thursday 12-Jan-12:
Another rest day today. I have figured out why I felt so BLAH yesterday and today: I've caught 1.5-year-old nephew's cold. He feels fine, of course, other than when mom or dad tries to wipe a booger off his face! :p Anyway, if I'm worse tomorrow, I'll go to the gym with Dad, and just stroll on the ET and/or do some leg lifts. If I'm better, I'll see what I feel like doing. :thup: |
Friday 13-Jan-12
I went to the gym with Dad, and spent 20 minutes on the ET, nice and slow, basically a "stroll". I'm glad I did it, but I'm definitely still fighting the cold. :( It has moved out of my throat, and is in my nose now. Hopefully the fact that it's moving quickly means it will be short-lived! :thup: |
