DAY NINETEEN

I got up late, and it was raining, so I went straight to the workout room. 10 minutes on the treadmill, increasing the pace towards the middle and then decreasing at the end, and then the following:

Crunches (+10): 50
Elbows-to-Knees (+10): 30
Lats (each side; +10): 30
Obliques (each side; +10): 30
Back raises (+10): 50
Wuss Pushups: 20

Outside thigh raises (each side): 20
Inside thigh raises (each side): 20
Leg Lifts (each side): 20
Scissor Kicks (total): 20

No stairclimber today, because last night at bike riding my quads felt like lead. Just a huge mass of immovable substance that was way, way heavy. I figured they didn't need the punishment...that and I was low on time.

My new coworker Wanda is bringing me a biscuit from McDonald's for breakfast this morning, but it won't be until 9 or 10 when she comes in, so I'm going to take a Slim Fast with me just in case.

I watched Sailor Moon 37 yesterday during my lunch break (I really had no time to do anything yesterday o_o). It was, well, awesome. A return to normalcy, but with a twist. And that ending cliffhanger was just evil...

Seeing what you're doing each day is cool, but I bet all of us are also wanting to know what the daily workouts are doing for you. I know you don't have a scale or anything, but how about energy, drive, appetite, what have you? You've been doing really good with keeping up the workouts. I can only imagine all the good things that the workouts have been doing for you!

I do think my energy level has gone up, and I'm definitely wanting to work out a lot more than I ever did in the past.

I am, however, having a hard time staying on my diet. While I didn't have that McDonald's biscuit for breakfast--Wanda didn't go because her husband made breakfast for her this morning--I am now eating two cheese hotdogs and some chips and dip for lunch. I had a Slim Fast for breakfast, but by about noon or so I felt like I was completely hollow, and my stomach was growling so loudly it was embarrassing. The same thing happened yesterday.

I guess what I need to do is make myself a nice large lunch of healthy foods, so that I won't stop for fast food or eat junk at home.

Other than having an increase in energy, I don't know if there has been any significant change. Maybe my legs are more toned; I'm not sure.

I do know that it doesn't wind me to carry groceries up to the apartment like it used to, which is good.
