OK, Srsly

25 minutes running, followed by 15 minutes swimming last night. After my eye appointment. Which meant I didn’t get home until 8:30pm. Ate some pre-made dinner that I made Sunday, logged into WoW for some weird reason for an hour. Spent two hours alternating ears on my heating pad (I’m going to need to get […]

Sunday Swimming

10 minutes of swimming sounds really easy when you see it on your training schedule, especially when you’ve done 20 min jogging followed by 20 min biking twice the week before. But whoa boy, seriously. I haven’t done more than the 5 min of lap swimming I did last week since… since… I was about

Weekend Training

Working out on weekends is new to me. At least, I haven’t done it since Alaska, when I had a lot of time and very long summer days. According to the training schedule, Mondays and Fridays are my off days, so today was 20 minutes on the bike and 20 minutes jogging. It’s easy enough

Training

Did 20 minutes of jogging followed by 20 minutes on the bike. I skipped the bike yesterday because my weight training session at work was brutal. Not physically brutal, oddly enough, but mentally brutal. That whole almost crying because I had to do three sets of pushup rows and squat jumps thing was pretty demoralizing.

Death to Personal Trainers

This was the last day of this quarter’s brutal upper body routine with the personal trainers at work. I received relief a couple of weeks ago on the lower body workout (which was primarily walking lunges, squats, and one-legged lunges, all weighted), which made going to the gym bearable (we’re now doing drop sets). Today

Training

Try half an hour of jogging followed by ten minutes of swimming. You wouldn’t think this would be that bad – I mean, there’s a 5 min warmup and cooldown attached to that half hour, so it’s really only twenty minutes of jogging, and the swimming is only ten minutes – but, but… I only

Pump Weight

I go in to see my endo on Tuesday. It also so happens that the last couple of days, I’ve noticed that the dreaded pump weight seems to have caught up with me. I’d actually thought I’d avoided this, as it appears to me that I’m using *less* insulin than I did before I switched

Magic Number

I wanted to start a training program that required me to be able to jog for 20 minutes in order to start with it, so tonight I figured I’d see about where my jogging ability was. The days of the 3 mile night run in Chicago were never picked up after I got sick, so

Excess Energy

I’ve kicked back up my fitness routine the last couple of weeks, and every time I go to the gym I contemplate paying for a couple training sessions a month from the personal trainers there. Thing is, I can’t afford another $100 a month in fitness costs (the gym is already $55 a month). Today
