Okay! That was much better. Woke up at 5:35am, but felt a lot better than yesterday. Still went to sleep WAY too late, 11:30pm. But I had taken a nap from about 7:30 to 9pm, so I think that helped. At least I was productive last night working on a project that I have to turn in asap.

Anyway, back to my workout this morning… I was sleepy and tired but not groggy like I was yesterday. I can overcome being tired and sleepy, no problem. I’m used to pushing myself and working hard. Got up, washed my face, put on the hot water kettle, drank a glass of water, and got dressed. Walked to the gym. Left around 5:52am, got there about 10 minutes later.

Today was a cardio day. I started with 10 sets of back and forth side steps with elastic bands across the gym. I do that to rehab my hips. Old wrestling injury aggravated by sitting so long at work and in daily life. Then even though it’s a cardio day I still had to lift for about half an hour.

Then it was time for my treadmill run. Not too fast and not too slow. Nice and easy pace, especially to start. A little over 4 miles per hour. Then I built it up slowly until I was at about 5 miles per hour at the end. I ran for a total of 20 minutes, 1.5 miles with incline. Got a nice sweat going, but wasn’t exhausted and out of breath. Felt great afterwards.

Next, it was time for a quick elliptical session. Only 10 minutes at a resistance level of 8. Easy work. Weighed myself… Not where I want to be, but on my way.

Walked back home. Drank water. Did my sit ups. Made coffee and came to write this entry. Now it’s time to get ready for work. Have a great day!
