    Saturday - Started the day @ a comedy show at 11:15am and got home around midnight .... walking around town, hit a few pubs... then off to a dance - it was a great day. Didn't do too bad on my eating - but the alcohol consumption - hmmmmmmm. a GREAT day!!

    Well - let's get going on Round 2 again... lol .... Can't believe I went 40 days in my first round and now TRYING to string days together.

    Round 2 - Day 1 was yesterday - Saturday 45 min to 60 min of walking and approx. one hour (+) of dancing (throughout the early evening and later on in the night)

    @ tazmac - I tend to think that Life is like Uncle Sam - has its hands in ALL of our pockets! When ever you think you've got some extra energy saved up, it comes along to take it's "pound of flesh" from you, and you get a small set back from where you THOUGHT you were. HOWEVER! If you are REALLY, really good, it can also give back at unexpected times! You can do this, because you ARE, and NOTHING is going to stand in your way! It looks like you have enough determination to make Life cry its little eyes out when it comes a-calling again and you tell it "NOPE! Not having any of your time today, this is all MINE!"

    Round 2, day 7 - POOL TIME!!!! 30 mins of breast stroke, toss in some miscellaneous house chores just because.

    I'm glad you found a walking buddy! Now, you have more reason to go out and enjoy the nice weather. Great work today, and love the new profile pic!


    Round 2, day 8 - a little over a hour of campus walking according to the HRM pedometer, 45 - 50 minutes of calisthenic resistance training with my trainer, 15 minutes on the stationary bike.

I'm zonked again today getting home from work - meetings all day - sucked the life right out of me - worked 2 hours past my quitting time (yesterday and today).... it will be all I can do to add more to my walk (walked to one of my meetings 15 min)....

    and thanks!

    Round 2 - Day 4 - 30 Apr 2013 (Tuesday)

    15 min walk to a meeting today... meetings all day long (including one from 11 - 1pm right through lunch!)

    Weather was cooperating - but worked late and knackered by the time I got home.

    Better effort tomorrow!

    You managed to get SOME walk time in, so you have a valid victory claim there! Don't knock yourself around just because work ran you over. Just get the license plate of the truck, and then go find them the first opportunity you can, and show them they'll have to try HARDER if they think they can knock you down and out of this fight. You are doing great!

    round 2, day 9 - POOL DAY!!!!!
    1000 m breast stroke (recovery and rest stroke because it's easy for me.)
    400 m butterfly (still rough, but getting better. Still look like an inchworm flopping down the lane, but I THINK I actually hit the right timing on about 7 consecutive strokes - I started FLYING down the lane until I tangle my arms and legs again. ::pouts::)
    200 m each freestyle and back stroke in 10 minutes (trying to reintroduce the rest of the workout sets, but the butterfly is killing my shoulder muscles - major [good] burn!)
    HRM reports 1.04 mile campus walk - I'll gladly take that with a smile!

    Welcome Angiehankins7! It's nice to see a new face,and I look forward to seeing your updates. For me, with summer coming up, and school demands going down, I'm going to be looking at ways to fill the extra hours, so I don't go crazy before next fall!
