Diet/Exercise Log 3 [Lisa and Ian Only]

So, the awesome news is that I’m already feeling better. It’s partly the weather being springy and sunny, but it’s also largely because of my workouts. Just like Dr. Davis (the sports medicine guy I interviewed recently) said, as soon as even a tiny bit of progress is made, the person begins to transform in many ways. I already feel more energetic, sexier, happier with myself, and happier with how I’m spending my time.

Yesterday 4/19: I only managed to walk to and from the Bennetts’ twice, but when Lucas is riding his little trike, I have to help push him up the hills. This adds some small amount of resistance to my walk. It’s a cheerful little walk too. I like to admire the neighbors’ yards and get garden/landscape ideas.

Today I went to the gym. 10 mins on elliptical (80 cals); 39 mins on treadmill (130 cals; ran a mile of the 2.12 miles I traveled.) Heart rate is well in the cardio zone, so that’s good.

Also lifted weights for a 1/2 hour: pecs, triceps, abs, low back, quads, etc. Now I am showered and I feel great (but I still don’t want to write my article).

Does sex count as a cardio workout if your blood boils and your heart chakra opens while you do it? If so, then I’ve had a few more workouts this week too. 🙂

Also had a chiropractic adjustment today. Weight: 129

NOTE TO SELF: Must get/bring music device or at least head phones. “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” are NOT funny without sound or close-captioning.
