catching up

i’ve been mia for a few days. it’s hard keeping up with more than one blog!

my weight on friday was up 1.4 pounds to 164.6. the only reason i can think of is that my tom is approaching. i hope that’s it at least. i don’t see any other reason for a gain. i exercised, though not as much as i’d like, and kept my calorie count low.

i had a pretty good workout on sunday. i went with joe to the park while he did his circuit training for his upcoming strength and endurance challenge.

cardio
16 minutes power walking
18 minutes tennis
3 minutes wind sprints

the wind sprints at the end killed me! i didn’t think i could finish them, but i did, and i was very proud of myself.

i had another good workout today too. i finally got my 45 minutes on the bike in, all at 4 resistance, which is a first for me. i can feel my body getting stronger, and i can feel the muscles in my legs. even now, at the end of the day, they still feel tight.
