Hard to believe we're already up to the bit 4-Oh! How's it going? Let's do at least a little something every day. If you do more than a little -- even better!

Friday I was off work since I had to work Monday so, since it was cool and raining (DRAT--I was hoping for a sunny powerwalk day!), I headed to the gym:

25 minutes of lower body weight training\
55 minutes cardio (bike/ellip/stepper/treadmill)

Plan for tomorrow:
20-30 minutes of upper body weight training
60 minutes cardio (step aerobics class w/toning & abs)

Thursday afternoon: 3 laps at work

Friday morning: 45 min walk / hike / ramble

Saturday plan: 5 hours of rafting

Sunday plan: Recover

Thursday: 3.03 boring miles mowing the front and back yard.

Wednesday afternoon: 3 laps at work
Wednesday evening: softball practice, crunches
Thursday morning: dumbells, core work

Thursday evening plan: maybe some laps at the track

Did an "Uphill Run" for 20 minutes on the incline treadmill today. Wow, was I sweating. My daughter thought it was funny that I was taking ANOTHER shower, and wanted to know if she was going to have to take another bath : ).

FINALLY got myself up for a little exercise this morning, but it was still really difficult. Many of us who worked on the project are still dragging from the early and long hours even though, in my case, I have slept marvelously the past two nights. I was still pretty comatose at 5:30 this morning, so I decided to do my 30-minute balance ball workout which is a "kinder, gentler" workout than many of my DVDs so I was able to slowly wake up while I was balancing on the ball.

Did my 45 minute Upper Body Workout today. Legs are still sore from Monday, I have to drop onto the toilet. I'll be glad when that's over. Darn those walking lunges....

Welcome back to the Joy of Crunches.

Monday evening: softball practice
Tuesday morning: resistance band stuff
Wednesday morning: 45 min walk

Wednesday evening plan: softball practice

Wednesday: 4.24 miles "parkwalking".

Whew, I have been a total loser at exercise so far this week. Due to the special work hours I had on Monday and Tuesday, I had to be up at 5 a.m. on Monday and 4 a.m. on Tuesday to be in downtown DC by 8 a.m. and 6:30 a.m., respectively. I couldn't afford to give up any more of my already too little sleep to make room for exercise in that schedule.

I had planned to return to exercise this morning with either upper body weights or ab work but the lack of sleep from the two previous nights and the draining work days had me totally comatose, so this morning's workout alarm went bye-bye.

Hoping to get back on track tomorrow!

Howdy! I'm won't be jumping in at 40 that's for sure, but I can begin today with 7 crunches. One for each week of Little Lane's life. Maybe it will help me keep up with how old he is. So here I go.... down for 7.

Monday: 4.60 miles "parkwalking".

Monday morning: squats, lunges, butt and leg stuff, core work.

Monday afternoon (plan): couple laps at work

Monday evening (plan): softball practice
