I used the new workout tracker successfully today. It is going to take some getting used to. I did pull ups today using my little chair trick and I can tell that I am getting stronger. I can do 1 pull up on my own, that sounds so pathetic!! But I think I could do more than that if I really thought that I could. I think my mind is defeating me before I ever touch the bar!! I also did DB pull overs which wasn’t listed in the tracker, at least I think that is what they’re called. You lay your back on a bench with your legs bent, hold a DB in both hands and bring it over your head to about chest level???? Also did cable press downs???? And abs in between each back exercise on the ball with a 10# weight overhead. These are getting easy so I guess I need to go up to 15# plate or something. I rode my spinning bike this morning while I watched the doom and gloom on Good Morning America. Which got me to wondering, What’s so good about it? Fires, wrecks, Pakistan and Angelina Jolie??? I’m going to have a great day regardless and I hope you all do too!!!

No weights today since my gym isn’t open on Sundays. I did, however, make it to the track to run bleachers. I walk a mile to get warmed up and then I did 25 sets of bleachers, I walked another 1/2 mile to get un-warm and then I did a mile going up the bleachers and back down and then around the stadium and start over again. I was SO exhausted when I got home I just laid in the floor to keep from puking. So, I’d say I did pretty good.

I did a light leg work out today at home, I did them earlier this week at the gym. I did bridges with my feet up on the fireplace hearth and a plate on my lap. Then I did some kick backs and side kicks with my resistance bands. I did step ups on a chair with my DB’s. And some stationary lunges with my DB’s. I’ll probably ride my spinning bike tonight when the Razorback game is on. I got some exercise out in my flower beds today weeding and raking.
