Qualify Grampy Qualify II - 05/24/10

Tuesday 5/25 results: Eating and drinking habits went well. Weight loss 2-1/2 pounds, 10 pounds to go. At 13 days, a bit disappointed but I am confident that the full impact will begin to kick in soon.
Well, it's been a little over a week and my workouts are certainly challenging! I am beginning to learn most of the "moves" in the workouts. Some are difficult due to my lack of flexibility but I am working on that and in the interim simply making do with the flexibility that I have.


Eight plus miles at Queeny Park was a pleasure on a beautiful Saturday morning. After the first loop I decided on taking a trail that I had not run on before. It soon became a really nice long downhill which made me wonder what was to come. Yep, a really long UPhill! I was deep enough in the woods that it was difficult to judge directions and I ended up running a bit further than I had planned. That's okay, if was fun experiencing a new route!


After some food and a brief rest I spent the rest of the day weeding our upper flower beds and carrying 10 bags of mulch up the stairs to mulch the beds and path then mowed and trimmed the yard. I didn't track it but if I didn't burn 3000 + calories I would be shocked. Sunday was a lot easier just church, lunch, planting a few pots and working out before dinner.


A couple more weeks and it's back to running. After Pilate's, Cardio, Arms & Shoulders, Back, Kempo (kick boxing) and Ab and Core work I am looking forward to running a lot of miles!
More next week
