Notice What I'm Missing?

Consistency.

Although I read in Runner's World this month a couple things that made me feel better:

  1. Even the elite athletes don't make all their planned workouts.
  2. Elite athletes over 40 years of age need more recovery time between workouts.
Not that I am either "elite" or an "athlete".  It made me feel better knowing that even those we consider perfect don't get it all done.

I only counted calories five days this week:  daily average 2377.8.

Exercise minutes: 368.  (If I could have figured out how to count the time I spent jumping around at the Black Label Society concert on Friday, I'd have added it in here.)

So, there's the pound and a half I gained.

On the other hand, I'm down another three quarters of an inch overall.

I'm taking today off of exercising completely.  I took yesterday off, too.  (Well, except for my push ups.  I do eight today from my knees.)  Tomorrow I start my veeerrrry slow running program.  First day you only run ten seconds out of every minute for ten minutes.

No promises, but I plan on blogging more this week.  It makes me feel accountable when I report in more than once a week.
