Halfway through Day 10. It’s actually getting easier and easier going to the gym now. This morning I thought that I would try something new. What I really hate about working out, is having to get dressed to go to the gym, getting undressed to get dressed in my workout clothes, getting undresssed and the dressed back to my workout clothes. To me it just seems like a lot of wasted time. So this morning, I got my gym bag out picked out my top that I was going to wear to work. Got my workout top and sportsbra out and put those on. I have a light weight jacket that I put on over that (after all I still have to drop off my stuff at my desk). Any one see the problem yet? So I drop my stuff off at my desk get on the elevator and reach the basement to where the gym is located and have to go all the way back to my desk because I forgot my book. My book contains my workout plan. I plan what exercises I am going to do and how much weight I am going to lift. I get the book, go down to the gym, get dressed, and workout. Workout is done, I go to get dressed for the day and realize one important thing. I forgot my bra. Lessons learned eh? Yep, I am stuck wearing my sports bra for the day (which happens to be one cup size too small but I’m not buying a new one). I figure that it is a good laugh. I did confess that to my co-worker and we both got a good laugh out of it. I think it more humorous than anything.
Last night, was bowling on my league. I survived another week of bowling. However, I did get razzed about eating “healthy”. I came prepared with my lunch bag. Dinner was a turkey sandwich with 1 tbsp of Miracle Whip Free, carrots and tomatoes and of course water.
Challenges coming up for me: Two bowling banquets and our trip to St. Louis (Spring Fling at the Loopy Ewe). I think I’ll probably survive the bowling banquets a lot better than Spring Fling. But I will have a plan that is for sure!
I did start writing down my heart rate after I am done with each body section. I figure that I can kind of keep track of my intensity levels that way. I am thinking about using that as a gauge as to whether or not I need to bump up any of my weights. Today's workout is telling me that for now I am at the right weights. I need to do some research to tell me where my optimal heartrate should be for the different intensity levels. For now my zone is 120 -140. I was in my zone for my chest and biceps, a bit above for my shoulders and 7 or more above for my back and triceps.
Calories burned =197
Total for Week 2 = 601.
I am going to burn more calories on my cardio days than on my weight lifting days.
I am still working on my Pomatomus socks. I have been making progress now vs having to tink back all the time. I have one and a half repeats done. I am thinking that I may not do the third repeat that is done on the leg but rather start the working on the heel flap. I should page through Ravelry projects and see who else has done a shortened leg.
Once I get going the right way, the pattern is very easy to memorize. I do find myself of having to get back into the groove of k2tbl when I put the sock down. That was the reason for all the tinking in the first place.
