Workout 5/16

Boot camp class

Due to having Employee Fitness Week at the gym, we're having special classes - one of which is a boot camp class (taught by the same woman who teaches us spinning). It was a good workout to be sure.

Of course we went out to the pub afterwards, and it being a special day for me, I decided to indulge a bit (chicken quesadillas and grilled chicken on penne pasta with a vodka sauce and a few beers). But, back to the action today.

Food sounds good. Hope it tasted as good as it sounds.

It was good - not exciting, but good. I would've liked tastier vodka sauce but it was good. A nice indulgence, but am back to the food plan today.

Make you can find a recipe for that and make it healthier...

A couple of comments - I wish my chest muscles would get it together and be healthy at the same time. For the first time in a while my right side did fine, and it was my left that was struggling.

But the touchdowns went well - wobbled a bit, but didn't have to catch myself.

Thanks Simmy - that made me smile for real. Hope you're doing well too.

You're Welcome. You should be smiling. You have accomplished so much. You made up your mind to change your lifestyle and you did it. It's very inspiring.

 

[She47441]

Your touchdowns will come together quicker than you know.

Wow - somebody wants a gold star today Thanks

Thanks Sheri - it's frustrating because I feel like I have less direct control over them as other movements.

 

[She47441]

Tis your next goal to work on for next time.

Actually I'll be doing a new workout as of Wednesday - the break-in workout from The New Rules of Lifting.

 

[stingo]

Well I spent a bit of money today - I decided to subscribe to the orchestra this season as they'll be doing Mahler's 8th symphony at the end (early May '08), and as that's one of my all time favorites I figured I'd plunk down the money to see it (and a few other concerts). It's a bit of a drive but will be worth it to hear live music again. Recordings are great, but being there is even better.

 

[She47441]

Not a big fan of classical but I bet it will be kick a@@...

Have you just sat down and listened to it? Like as though you were going to read a book, but sit and listen to the music... Try it sometime.

 

[She47441]

I have few classical songs but just not my cup of tea but I'll be glad to sit and listen to it. I will have to find my songs that I have. The only time I ever listened to it was my senior year in high school and it put me to sleep.

Im a big fan of classical music. Not all, but i do enjoy a good deal of the "Classics". I bet you'll enjoy the concert!

I'm sure I will - subscribed for the '05-'06 season and liked it a lot.
