Just Pineapple Waffles

Running like a hamster on a wheel. Do you ever think about that when you’re on the treadmill? Nothing more encouraging than comparing yourself to a rodent – all be it cute, but still….a rodent. Today: Ran 7 miles on the treadmill and another 5.22 with Shane who was itchin’ for a run. No weights this morning. The original plan was 9 miles. Whoops! The T/M run was torture. I just couldn’t get a rhythm. I stopped twice and my pace was 9.33. Slow. Pre run eats were 1/2 a banana with peanut butter. At mile 6, I had an [...]

A Berry Good Breakfast

Happy Tuesday. Quick post as I'm running late. Last nights DVD was "The Lodger". It was a good movie. Nothing more than 2 1/2 stars but not too bad. The story line focuses on a serial killer imitating Jack The Ripper killings. You continue to guess "who did it" throughout the movie. The workout today was legs. Glorious legs. 4 sets x 12 reps. Walking lunges and Leg Press Dead Lifts and Led Curls Leg Extensions and Seated Calf raises Squats The warm up was 32 minutes of ET. The post aerobic activity was a 42 minute walk-jog with Shane. [...]

Ever So Monday

This morning's workout wasn't too bad considering I had a week off. It was chest and biceps today. 4 sets x 12 reps. Warm up with 30 minutes of Elliptical Trainer. Incline bench chest press + Cable one hand curls Incline bench flies + Cable curls Cable chest press + Concentration curls Cable Pec Crossover + Curl Bar bicep curls Cable Flies + Hammer curls. I tried to do push ups but only managed one set of 15 because a playful German Shepherd was all over me. The added weight of him trying to sit on me just didn't make [...]

No travels today

Yesterday the mechanics worked with lightening speed on my jeep to complete the oil and systems check in under 25 minutes. Amazing! Someone must have ignited something under their derrieres. Up there in Richfield Springs, where the dealership is, they still have snow covering the fields. Here are some photos of farm country: A Routine... The day began with the usual routine: Treadmill for 32 minutes. Chest and biceps for 40 minutes. Shane and I walked for 40 minutes. Today's eats and treats... A warm bowl of Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats cooked with 2 Vanilla Maple Tea [...]

Nothing Fancy

This mornings healthy start was nothing fancy. It was a Cappuccino Spiru-Tein shake. A bowl of Cream of Rye with 1 TBS Buckwheat Groats. The cereal was cooked with 2 Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea bags. Half of a very juicy orange on the side. The packet of Spiru-Tein said "High Protein Energy Meal". It dawned on me that I never checked the carbohydrates of these Spiru-Teins, only the protein. There are 11 grams of carbs in this shake. That's quite a lot considering the shake is coupled with a bowl of hot cereal AND fruit. However, if one is [...]

Kitchen Mishap

There was an accident in the kitchen last evening while preparing dinner so I am temporarily one typing finger short. Therefore this mornings post will be told in pictures. That's it for now. I would take a pic. of my injury but it's too gross for me to look at it. Ted is having to change the bandages. Have a great day!
