Two mornings in a row!

I woke up a little later than I wanted to this morning, but at lease I did get up. I only had time for a 20 minute ride (5.7 miles).


I'm not planning on riding tonight. I'm going to kick back and veg all night. :-)

Got out of bed early

I got up this morning and biked for 40 minutes (11.4 miles). I would love to do that every morning, but that means I have to get my butt out of bed early. That is not likely to happen much, but I'll think about trying.

I got on the bike after work (and Happy Hour). I rode an hour (16.5 miles). I'm sleepy buy my legs feel good. I really need to start pushing myself pass the 1 hour mark. I also need to get a different tire for the back of the bike. The bike trainer is really wearing out the tire.

Night off

I went to yoga yesterday. I planned on riding my bike tonight. I had a long day at work. I went to the chiropractor and got adjusted. I'm a bit sore. I figured I would give myself the night off and let the adjustment settle.

Not a bad couple of days

I worked out yesterday on the bike for 1 hour 15 minutes (20 miles). I took it easy today and just did a 1/2 hour (7.5 miles). Not a bad end to the week.

Butt don't want to workout.

My butt hurt today during my 1 hour 15 minute (20 mile) workout. Normally it doesn't bother me too much. Maybe tonight I was developing new muscles. Ha-Ha :-) My butt is going to have to get stronger if I'm going to survive this trip.

Merry Christmas

I got back on the bike today for and hour (14.4 miles). I felt pretty good too. I needed to work off the Christmas season. Too many goodies.

Still Trying

I went to kickboxing last night and yoga tonight. I still haven't gotten back on my bike. I have the next 5 days off work. I plan on riding (in the basement of course) at least 4 of those days.

Getting back on track

I was sick last week so I didn't do anything. I managed to go to yoga last Sunday and kickboxing last night. I hope to get on the bike this weekend. It's hard to get the exercise in with the holiday season. I'm working on setting up an exercise schedule for January.

Taking it easy

I decided to take it a little easy today. I feel like my body is trying to fight off something. I went to yoga class and did try to push myself. I felt really good, but tired after class.

Daylight is good

I have decided that I do better on the bike and treadmill during the day. I think that night time just makes me sleepy. I just need to make it past the Winter Solstice on December 21st. The days will slowly start getting longer again.

I biked for an hour (11.5 miles) with very little boredom. I then walked on the treadmill for a half hour (1 3/4 mile). I felt pretty good afterwards. I wish I could workout in the afternoon everyday, but work just gets in the way of my playtime. :-)

Yoga makes me feel better

I woke up with a sore throat this morning. It has stayed with me all day. I was pretty tired when I got home from work.

I took a nap for about 1/2 hour. I forced myself to get ready and go to yoga. It was what I needed. I still have a sore throat but I feel better. My Thursday night yoga friends always make me feel better.

Trying

Well I'm trying to exercise as much as I can. I would like to only take one day off a week. I only did the bike tonight (12 miles in 1 hour). I had all these plans for tonight's workout. I was going to bike for an hour, walk half an hour on the treadmill, and bike for another half hour. It was about 8:30 by the time I got home and got on the bike. I got through the biking and decided I needed to get ready and go to bed.

Nothing special today

I ate pretty good today. I went to yoga class for an hour. Then I meditated for a half an hour. I came home and wanted to get on the bike. After 15 minutes I was sleepy so I only did 4 miles tonight. At least I did something.

Forgive me for I have sinned.

I overindulged and didn't workout all weekend. Basically I was fat and lazy. I'm paying for it now. I've struggled all day not to overeat. I wanted to come home and go to bed right after work.

I forced myself to get on the treadmill. I walked/jogged 3-3/4 miles in 1 hour. I went to kickboxing class too. I'm very sleepy now.
