Well, despite a less than motivated workout last night, I am still going six days a week, 3.5 mph or so for 60-75 minutes at 6 to 6.5 degrees of incline on the treadmill. I have also taken to wearing wrist weights. I wore 1.5 pounders for a few days and have switched to 2.5 pounders, although the bigger ones make a HUGE difference, believe it or not.
Also, I’ve bought a used BowFlex. I know you’re all gasping, but it had to be done. My weight loss has slowed or stopped altogether, and the next logical step is to do some lifting.
Yes, I know. I never thought I’d say it either. But I’ve enjoyed this over the last few months and I think if I can lift for 30 minutes in the morning before work and then walk after the kids are in bed, I can really start seeing a difference.
Anyway, I wish I had more for today. I do know that THE 500 is only 18 days away and that alone has me pretty fired up. I am looking forward to racedays with the girls as well as the younger urchin sleeping more and (imagine this) NAPPING sometimes.
Stay tuned. Hopefully someone will decide to try to cut me off by passing me on the right and driving thru a yard to do it. This time (asshole in your gold piece of shit blazer) I will not be so nice. You’ll be tasting some concrete for your efforts today, boy.
Hugs.
What say you?
