T-day 22

 Today will be a rest day. Nights are sometimes very hard to work when you have to try to sleep during the day. Today was one of those days, the daylight rest just didn't take. I could do some cardio at work tonight though, we'll see. Hope eveyone's Sunday is an awesome Sunday. ...

T-day 21

 I got off work at the usual time and we made it for our swim. The training was intense I was was trying to use more upper body strokes with less leg movement to increase my efficiency. After that I swam 500 meters and then practiced open turns, to help shave some off time off my laps..... as if I were ever going to use this to compete,lol. But I guess when you are learning something new you should learn every aspect of it correctly....just ...

T day-20

 Officially it's day 20 as I'm working nights and it is the start of a brand new day.I used yesterday as a day of rest after doing all the stuff I did. I couldn't figure if I should do some type of lifting or cardio, so I mowed and weedeated for several hours to catch up on the yardwork. When I get off in the a.m. 0500 I'm headed out to the pool with Susan and Patty for swim team practice. I hope to be in bed by 1000, so it should be a ...

 After yesterday's planned and unplanned workouts I haven't planned anything so if I do something it will be unplanned. i start nights tonight and in the a.m. it's off to swim team trianing for 1.5 hours. Other than that, I'm surprised how well i feel after an upper body workout with some cardio at the fitness place followed two hours later with a spin class. ...

T-day 18

Today is suppose to be spin day, but at 1000 I'm going to L.A. Fitness to workout with one of the guys I work with. I've about had enough of the crap at the Y. Yesterday while working out the kids were were cranking up the treadmills to full blast and trying to jump on them and run. One kid got tossed about 2 foot backwards into the ellipticals. It caused everyone to jump up and stop what they were doing. It wasn't ten minutes later and another ...

T-day 17

 Today will be legs and abs. If I'm lucky I'll try to get some swimming in. The Y was suppose to leave  a lane open for lap swimming for adults. They usually don't and since my transformation is focusing more on working the spirituality part of my life, I find myself losing that rather quickly when kids land on top of me doing cannonballs into the pool. I guess they figure I look like I would be fun to ride, like Shamu or something, but...

Today is freeday. Although it is free from workouts I'll burn a boat load of calories doing yard work. I have a ditch that is covered in Kudzu and it has my name on it.

I'll be sore all the way up until lifting time tomorrow, which is chest,back and bi's at the Y. Somebody has to do it! you guys have a great Sunday! ...

T-day 13

 We got up at 0500 for some insane reason and on an off day no less. We headed out to First Colony and met the folks for our usual Saturday torture. An hour and a half in the pool. Today was practicing freestyle strokes with less leg movement for me and the backstroke. I was able to hang the whole training session and after the training we met the coach at Starbucks for coffee and conversation. we discussed other events coming up and Susan's...

 Ever have a bad day. Well you know to to make it better..... butt kicking workout! I took a day of vacation from work today so the power company could kill the power to my house so I could make a tie in for a wind generator. They never showed, never called..... nothing. I finally got in touch with the rep and he said they could come out tomorrow. Don't know when, can't give me a ballpark time, just that they might come out....if I stay home...

Thanks Tracy! other than that I'm going to try and post a pic on this post. Let's see how it goes. ...

Today after work I did chest, back, bi's and abs. it was a little rough due to a long day at work but I pushed through and made it a successful workout. i should sleep well tonight. Xena that fine looking critter was Hoss. I had him for about 3 years and after we evacuated for Hurricane Rita, I felt it best we find him a new home.

T- day 6

Yesterday I got my shoulder, tri and ab work in. We started later than normal because Susan's workout partner Patty was running late. They found out Chuck's pancreatic cancer is gone! He went with an alternative treatment and an organic diet and in 6 weeks has tested clean! Wow we were all just in awe and it was hard to workout and focus. But the good news made for a satisfying workout. This a.m. Susan and are headed out for our adult masters s...

T-day 5

 Today is what i call transition day. i just finished nights got home at 0600 and got up at 08:30 a so I can get my body back on day light normal time. I'm a little grumpy but that should pass once I get out in the yard and finish the chores of the day.  Yesterday was cardio and I did the elliptical at home. My goal has been to burn 500 cals in a 20 minute routine and even though I've been close, I've never done it. This was the closest...

T-day 4

Yesterday did legs which made it extremely hard to walk at work last night. The fact I'm on my feet for several hours at a time makes for a long 12 hour shift. Today's plan is HIIT elliptical at home. Can't swim still cause of the weather again. When I build my pool, I'll swim whenever I want,lol.  Well, it's cardio time. Have a great workout today. ...

 Yesterdays plan to swin for cardio was a bust due to the bad weather so i did my cardio here. I did the elliptical for a 475 cal burn. Also we now have assignment #2 out and luckily for me I'll stay on my same plan. It's 3 cardio days and 3 weight days. So today's plan is legs and maybe if time permits some swimming. I guess the one thing i would like to do this challenge is get the intensity level up. I often wonder if I had a workout part...
