Way, way, WAY overdue update
The last two weeks have been busy, hectic, frustrating … and at times pretty emotionally draining (a lot going on), but I did get some workouts in.
I was on the road for 2 1/2 days the end of the first week in April. The good news was that even with that I didn’t do too badly on the eating. Most of it was pretty healthy. I got the chance to visit an old favority … Boston market … and had steak, cornbread, yams, creamed spinach and spiced apples. Not low cal (or low sodium) but not bad for food on the road!
Sunday the 8th I spent the afternoon doing 6 miles on the treadmill … starting at 4.0mph and stepping it up by 0.1mph every mile. Monday night I missed my weight training, but got up at 5am on Tuesday mornining to hit the gym. With gents like Red Weston and others doing the early morning thing, I couldn’t wimp out and not do it myself. 
Tuesday and Wednesay nights were spent doing 1hour walks on the treadmill.
Weigh day for work’s 15 week, 15lb weight challenge was Thursday. This was week 10, and I’ve lost some 17 lbs by that scale in the 10 weeks. That’s possibly a little off since week to week can vary alot due to whatever we’re waying. I did weigh in at 181 lbs at home, so I figure about 15 lbs in the 10 weeks is realistic.
Thursday - Friday no exercising … except for gastric juices due to what was listed in the first sentence. Today, back to the long distance walking. 7 miles in 1:38…. appx 700 calories used up. Again started at 4.0 mph, adding 0.1mph each mile …finished off at 4.6mph.
the plan these days is to spend the weekends doing long walks, then weight train Monday, 2 days of fast walks, weight train on Thursday or Friday. Now, if I can only get my schedule to agree with this.
