It's been a while since I've posted one of these. I haven't been entirely slacking. I helped a couple of friends move out of their apartment and in to their house before the 4th of July. Much heavy lifting.

I used a 10lb sledge hammer to remove a tree stump from the front yard. More details in this previous entry: Progress on Projects. It was ( Read more... )

I've been slacking off. Didn't get much done Wednesday due to the cat situation from Tuesday night and in to Wednesday morning.

Spent half an hour with Yourself!Fitness this afternoon though. 157 calories burned, zero kittens injured.

Another 30 min cardio session with the Yourself!Fitness game. 149 calories burned.

Followed that with three sets of ten pushups and another 12 from my knees.

rea_ has been sick with a cold this week and hasn't been running. Though she's in Chicago, I seem to lack the motivation to run if I know she's not running too.

Tuesday got away from me like Monday did, but more so. It was after midnight before I had the down time to exercise and I still had a bed piled with stuff to clear off before sleeping, so I skipped formal exercise.

The plan was 10/12/7/7/9 with a minute rest between each set.

I did 10/10/7/6/10 though the last set was from my knees.

Another jogging day. Went around the block for half an hour, alternating jogging and running. Forgot to concentrate on breathing during one of the walking iterations. A stitch in my side quickly reminded me of the importance of breathing.

Also! New icon for the exercise posts. I finally emailed Paul Sizer about using images from his comics in ( Read more... )

Pushups today. I went back to the 100 Pushups plan instead of the 10/10/10 plan, if only for the variety ( Read more... )

Three times walking/jogging around the park today for an estimated 2 miles.

Focused mainly on breathing this time: inhale for two steps, exhale for two steps. Had trouble keeping it even when switching from jogging to walking, but otherwise it went well. No stitch in my side this time.
