Friday Half-n-Half

I did a half-n-half.  I went over to the small workout facility during my lunch hour, to see if I could squeeze in a few minutes of exercise and to test out how sweaty I would get.  I really only had 50 minutes so I walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes at about a 3-4 miles per hour pace.  I wished I could have gone longer but by the time I walked over there and got my shoes on and got on the treadmill, I only had 15 to spare.  I did work up a small sweat, nothing to write home about, but I knew if I went any longer it would have been a tsunami of sweat.  Then about 5 minutes used up getting back into my work shoes and across the parking lot and to the cafeteria.  It left me about 20 minutes to eat.  Good thing I only had a salad...I finished up my other 15 minutes at home later in the evening with pilates and stretching.

Forced

I stayed after work to get my e-mail sorted out and filed or deleted.  I recieve about 70 e-mails a day and some of them pertain to the phone center where I work, and the rest are sent from other depts and I just need to delete them.  By the time I got all of it done it was 5:30 and I just wanted to go home but I knew if I did it wouldn't get done right away.  So I forced myself into the gym.  I forced myself to do the elliptical machine for 45 minutes and it was tough.  I came right home and ate ice cream for dinner.  I know,... it does not make any sense to me either....

Two Miler

This is my posting for yesterday, because when I came home my son was on the computer, well really he was on his x-box with a connection to the internet.  So, on with the post... nothing exciting... I did a two mile walk run,...mostly running

Double Whammy

Today I did a double whammy.  I whammed it up one side and down the other.  First, I whammed it up with Jillian's Shred Level 2 and then I whammed it up again with a 2 mile mostly jogging, sometimes walking workout.  I am feeling kinda like a pot roast and potato dish, the one I consumed last night with 3 pieces of french bread slathered with butter.  Tonight, we ate out at the Mission Bistro and I opted for the salmon but again had a tuscan roll with butter.....when will it all end?   Tomorrow is Garretts birthday, and we will eat out again.... is there a light at the end?

Companion Walk

Tonight was another walk with my husband.  It was just a walk, no jogging.  We had a big dinner with my son Garrett and Marshall and my parents.  Garrett is visiting home from the Marine Corp and I made one of his favorite meals, pot roast in the crockpot.  We had salad and warm from the oven french bread.  I made fudgy brownies and we had mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert.  Needless to say, I ate with abandon and stuffed myself to the point that all I could do was walk.  So, thirty minutes of walking and off to bed early.

Togetherness

I had a walk/jog date with my husband tonight.  It was very spontaneous and only two miles but it does go  by faster when you have someone to walk, talk, and jog with.  It was a cool summer night and the sky was clearly showing off the "evening star" Venus.  I was so glad to have a companion to share my sweat with!

Something New

Today I got to do something new and it was free!  I recently got a new job and while on a tour of the facilities I discovered they have a nice workout room!!  So today I took my locker supplies and a lock and went out to try it all out.  I did the elliptical trainer for 30 minutes then played around on all the Nautilus machines and weight lifting equipment.  I had the room all to myself and it was great!  I think I was there about an hour...
