Fitness Recap

Finally I made my goal of exercising five days this week! I never did find a suitable replacement for the video workout but I'm going to go for it soon. I'm thinking a light weight training session but I have to be careful. I want to achieve very specific goals and avoid bulking up in general, but especially very specific places for very specific reasons.

Sunday: day off (traded for Monday)
Monday: 45 minutes stretching
Tuesday: 40 minutes walking
Wednesday: day off (traded for Friday)
Thursday: 45 minutes stretching
Friday: 40 minutes walking
Saturday: 25 minutes walking

I've been rearranging my stretching routine so I can double up on everything and really target my trouble areas while maintaining the better parts. I've also trimmed out some of the redundancies so I can fit everything into the same amount of time. I also had to cut a couple of stretches because I simply couldn't properly perform them due to my size at the moment. The walk today ended up cut short simply because it was far too buggy. I was getting eaten alive! Still 25 minutes of walking is better than no walk at all.

My goals now are to find a good light weight training routine to do at least once a week and start varying my aerobic activities. Time to pull out the bike!

Good Times, Awesome Times

Today was an interesting day but it ended on a very happy note. It started out kinda crappy with the truck acting all funny (figures, vehicle repairs at the most financially inopportune times) but got better. I fixed a computer problem for someone with the tried and true unplug-wait-replug method. Worked like a charm and I got cash! :)

Then we had company! Ang and Al came over to visit and we had a lot of fun watching Godzilla Final Wars and sitting/standing around the fire with conversation. Lots of awesome! I'm really hoping Ang an Al find jobs and Al can stay up around here. She's really great to hang out with! :D

Kathy and Lonewolf rescued a chipmunk whose hind legs had been somehow injured and are now non-functional. So we're helping it to heal. The reality is, though, by taking it in it now has to stay permanently. It won't be able to live in the wild after staying with us for an extended period of time.

Tomorrow we're playing board games. Weeeeee! Hopefully the truck will get us around and not leave us stranded somewhere. *crosses fingers*
