3/29/04 Monday

I'm up, but not quite "at 'em" yet.....

After my coffee I am on the bike trainer for 50 mins, then weights tonite.
Cut back week for me. YIPPPEEEEE!!!!

Missed out this am due to a tiring night with the toddler. Tonight going to the Y for a swim and a treadmill session.

Hehehe...now it's my turn to gripe Ellen...8:00 AM here and it's 27 degrees! Oh well, back to the club for the indoor workouts. At least I got to ride the bike a couple of times this weekend. Wow I had Chinese food for dinner last night and didn't put on any weight...simply amazing!

It's 7:45pm here...so my day is already over. Today I biked for an hour then jumped off and ran a mile...small Brick. I also swam 1250 meters in the pool. Not a bad day. 3 more days and I finally go home. I can't wait to get off this island.

Slow start - taking off today. Cold here too Ellen -but sunny - I'm going to bundle up a bit and get on the road later today. Nice to slowly get going - off to the Y later for swim, treadmill and weights. (Hopefully) Than - got to load up my turbo tax and see if I can efile b/4 April 14 at 11 p.m. this year :-)

Off day for me today, except might do a yoga class with my wife tonight. That'll be a nice stretch.

Max, speaking of Chinese food, if you're not cooking in a wok at home you might not know what you're missing. It's easy and fast, and the chopping of the vegetables makes for a great couple's project while sipping a glass of heart-healthy red wine. Last night we made THE MOST delicious wok-full of veggies with my secret chinese, no-cal, no-fat sauce over white rice. I put some tender white chicken on the side (my wife's a vegetarian). It is deeeelishus, and the next morning the scale never even knows.

Survived 2 flat tires yesterday. What's up with that? Anyway, 2500 m this a.m. Abs and leg exercises for my knee. Definitely feels like a Monday!!!!

Thanks TriMan! We do eat a lot of stir-fried veggies, but don't own a wok, usually they're all cooked in the fry pan. I may have to try this wok thing...veggies and chicken over brown rice, yum, I could eat it every day!

Starting the official 16 week prgram- vacation's over- time to get back on track ! swim drills and 3 mile run today......

38 and sunny, but very windy.  I've only been out with the dog so far.

Went to the YMCA for my bike ride -- 10 miles, then ran outside for 2.36 miles. We were quick because the wind was really blowing.

Have a great training or rest day everyone.

Up and back at them this morning and I feel great. Ran for 14 min w/o stopping which was just over a mile. Did 6 miles on the bike and usual sit-ups. No swim today. Won't do that until Wednesday.Have a great day all. Ovetta.

Oh forgot. For some fun, I guess, check out this blog I wrote about one of my biggest pet peeves of gym goers. I really need to get a life!http://whatsagirltodo.blogspot.com/

swimming tonight, TI drills

I walked the dog for about two hours. Other than that I think I will just relax.

Rest day. Too bad, because it was beautiful out at last! We definately have spring fever up here....it feels soooo good after being tormented by winter for so long!!
Tomorrow we ride outside again. If I get another flat I will scream.

45 min on bike trainer - good weather today, but couldn't get out during daylight hours - something must be wrong with my priorities!

Worked on swim technique. Lost count of my laps somewhere around 400yds. Once I figured out that I was lost (as usual), I did an extra 200yrds. LOTS of stretching tonight...

Pumped some iron and biked for a while.
