Maintaining

It's been more than a month since I recorded my exercise. Although I have traveled for 5 weeks, spending only a day or so each week at the office. I was able to get a jog in here and there and I went to the gym a few times when I was actually in town.

I tried to maintain some level of exercise during those 5 weeks. During my meetings, I walked.During some of travels, I jogged a couple miles.

When I got back into last week,
  • Sunday, I jogged around 3.4 miles.
  • Monday, I walked a couple miles, we were supposed to jog and I had forgotten so I made it to the track late and since I had jogged on Sunday, I did not jog on Monday.
  • Tuesday, we did bench press, I brought 85 pounds all the way to the chest. I also lifted 95 pounds, but did bring it all the way. My favorite is to lift 8 to 15 reps, 95 pounds with my legs extended. Because my shoulders began to get strained, I can't seem to lift more than 8 reps right now.
  • Wednesday, we did heavy squats and ab work out.
  • Thursday, we jogged a decent time. My legs were incredibly sore on Thursday afternoon. I walked like a duck.
  • Friday, we worked out with a little of everything.
  • Saturday, I jogged for 30 minutes before my daughters softball game.
  • Sunday, I did not exercise.
  • Monday (this morning), we jogged 3 miles, but the time was slower than last week. While jogging I did not feel tired, but I was not enthusiastic either.
  • Tomorrow is bench press day. JS decided that Tuesday is the new bench press day because he feels he can lift more on Tuesday since he becomes lax (as most of us do) on the weekends.

Because my bone spurs seem to be acting hurting more, I have really tried to stretch every opportunity. Even at the softball game on Saturday, after I jogged I stretched on and off for almost the entire game.
