Well… things have been going up and down. The weekend was a bust, zero exercising for various reasons. On Sunday I started getting a weird headache that did not subside until late Monday night. Can someone get exercise withdrawal??? Anyhow, Monday I decided to battle through it so I went 33 minutes on the bicycle and a few reps on the weight machines (minimal really). I don;t remember the exact calories (160-200 maybe). Yesterday nothing again and today 14 minutes on the treadmill, maximum incline (.67 miles, 135 calories), 3 rounds of crunches and 2 rounds on the weight machines (again, not sure what it’s called, the one where you have to bring your arms together). I feel kind of lousy and week actually. By the time I was done with the treadmill I could feel getting woozy and my energy was at an all time low. It frustrates me being so weak!

That is the book I just finished. Nothing big, just chick-lit as they call it, but it couldn’t have been a better choice. The main character, Nora, is the same age (29) and in so many ways we are so much the same, but still so different. Mainly our fears are the same… and the inability to live by our own age… whatever that means. I loved reading it and it was a nice distraction while exercising. I would recommend it to all the 25+ chicks out there. Why 25+, because somehow that seems to be a landmark age, the age by which we will have it all figured out… And we are often so wrong. I guess the best way to describe the book would be honest, completely honest.

Well, I decided to forgo some of the ironing in favor of exercising. I did the top of the pile (about 1hr) and left the rest for later. So I ended up bicycling for 33 minutes uphill (10.7 miles, 167 calories) and played wii for about 40 minutes. Today I really want to start working on my midsection. That’s where the big problem is… It’s just I hate crunches :( Maybe I should try pilates…
