The Start of Day 3

I’m feeling well this morning. I slept well last night and only wish that I were still cutting some Z’s. When the alarm went off this morning, it awoke me from a deep slumber. That’s the way I like it to happen. The worst is to lay there waiting for the alarm to go off.

During my two-mile workout this morning, I did some jogging. I jogged about 30% of the first mile and about 50% of the second mile. I didn’t feel to badly jogging. The true test will be how I hold up throughout the day. If I overdid it, I will be really dragging by lunch.

My weight ticked back up a notch to 155 Lbs this morning. I suspect the recent weight drop may be to a dish I created. I filled our large crock-pot with coarsely chopped cabbage. Over this, I poured two quart jars of spaghetti sauce, two cans of tomatoes and some water. It was looking too thick. I also cooked up some locally made Italian sausage (Serra’s Sausage), chopped it into very small pieces and folded it into the whole thing.

The dish proved to be very tasty and we’ve been eating it for three days. Even with the sausage, it’s a pretty low calorie meal. My only regret and I will correct that next time I make it is I did not put any mushrooms in it. They would have been really nice. Next time.

I also did 7 pushups and 14 sit-ups this morning. I’m on to some breakfast and then to the office.

I am not doing any jogging, but I do try to walk 1.5 miles, plus 8 push ups with 30 v-sits (works more than just stomach). I tried Saturday to begin lifting weights again on our weight machine. I did one pull and "Slam, Bang!" The coupler pulled off the end of one of my cables. So it is dead & unusable. Our machine is only 15 years old so Ned & I are starting to look at something to replace it. Ned is looking at the Bow Flex. I'm looking at newer dynamics like the "Total Gym". I like the idea of being able to work multiple areas at once in less time, with the same, if not more, results. In the meantime, I'm back to free weights and boring exercising.

I lust for a BowFlex Extreme.
