Notes decided to go with the 1 hour-ish cardio session today – it’s been a while since i hit the cross-trainer and it was time for a bit of cardio anyway. held a decent rate on the bike – over 100 rpm the whole time. treadmill was probably the most satisfying – i managed to […]

another “weights day” session today, with the idea being to slowly build the weights up to their previous levels. so to that end, there were some slight increases across the board this morning. summary Time got up (today): 04:30 Mood (1 to 5): Morning 4 Lunch Night journal 04:30 -couple of dates, water 04:45 – […]
aching a little today, not sure if it’s due to the 11km walk yesterday, or the work in the garden at the weekend. had a great night’s sleep, and didn’t wake until just before 4:30 (body recovering no doubt). as i did weights yesterday, i decided to hit the rowing machine this morning, opting to […]
in any process of development, improvement or learning, you must at some point feel able to cope without your teacher, guide or instructor. obviously you don’t turn your back on that source of expertise and knowledge, but if you remain completely dependent on that then you haven’t truly grown. so it is that i have […]
not much to report from the weekend – i spent most of the time weeding and digging in the back yard, so there’s a few muscles giving out indications of having been used. sunday night was a family dinner (cooked by yours truly), and none of the dishes would make it onto a Weightwatchers menu […]
people spend an awful lot of time looking for the “magic bullet” that will solve all their issues, set them in the right direction and stop them from going off-track. believe it or not, there is a tool that can help achieve this, once you make the effort to use the tool regularly… what is […]
ok, i give up! had to put in a late night fixing up some web stuff, resulting in my not waking up until about 6 this morning. got a bit annoyed at the failure rate of the week (in terms of not going down the gym most days) however… it dawned on me this morning […]
despite heading to bed early last night (20:30), i still managed to sleep until 5 this morning, giving just enough time to get ready and catch the early bus. hey ho, i guess the sleep was needed, so no point in worrying about it. there will be plenty more days when i can go for […]
as I have noted in today’s journal entry, I didn’t head to the gym today, but that’s not to say that it has been a non-productive day. far from it in fact… going for a morning and/or lunchtime walk is a familiar component in my typical daily routine, and is an increasingly “cerebral” activity, providing […]
