    1 hour upper body push + 1 hour aerobics in the afternoon, with another trainer to yell at me, which the gym kindly provides included in the cost of membership
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
    Yes, 412 calories under, cause polenta (actually the highly popular traditional Romanian version called "mămăligă") is very - let me say that again: very filling, full of iron, vitamin A and low in calories.
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
    Yup

    @znaoiec Congrats on the birth of your first grandchild. It is so much fun to watch their growth and development that first year. After that...welcome to grand-parenting when you can spoil them first and send them home later!

    @corriepelc Love your "Dreadmill." I'm not sure if they are a curse or a blessing.

    yes,yes,yes,

    I am kind of behind on my exercise goal for this month.
    I am always trying for that strava cycling climbing badge.
    I only got 8000 of climb for the month so far.
    To get caught up I need upwards of 1100 feet per day.
    Don't know if I can make that happen.
    No sense in being obsessive about it.
    I am at my goal weight.
    That is kind of cool if you ask me.
    But here it is party season and I am just now recovering from last party season.
    NSV - the big question - am I having fun?
    Climbing days - who is this weird guy of Greek mythology? Sisyphus I think is the name I want to come up with.
    Forever rolling that a boulder up a hill.
    But climbing is more fun than that ain't it?
    I go to the canyon at the crack of dawn.
    It is cold.
    I don't get sunshine until I been slugging up that hill for an hour.
    But this is tranquility and solitude.
    Not often that people goes by me.
    Don't know why I like it like that.
    Going down the hill is getting kind of hard on me.
    That scrabbly road rattles my joints.
    I think it is good for my arthritis though.
    NSV - ego stuff
    There is a hill I do repeats on that ain't the canyon.
    It is a popular place with athletes.
    I do that hill five times to get my "dose."
    I talk to a guy there that is less than half my age.
    He say he can only do it three times.
    Heh! I got a weird competitive spirit that gets a charge out of that.
    That canyon is getting kind of cold. I am going to move to the social atmosphere of the hill repeat hill.
    There is some serious athletes on that track. If you do the loop it is 10k. I see trail runners lapping it while I am doing repeats.
    Lapping it (more than one) is a half marathon. Have I got that math right?
    Man o man.
    My knee feels good. I think I will go back out tomorrow.

    Buddy is coming for the weekend.
    This is how it is with that little guy.

    NSV: %age muscle is increasing

    Yes x 3

    Passes left: 2️⃣
    Passes left: 1️⃣

    Confession: Yesterday I was so busy prepping for patchwork that I didn’t have breakfast, so by dinnertime I had spare calories. I decided I would have a couple of custard creams for supper, which turned into several couples. Then I had some crackers, and a bit of cheese. I may not have logged all these! So have adjusted my pass days.

    When I got on the scale this morning I was up 4 lbs!!!! Now, there is no way that I ate 14,000 extra calories!!! Logic suggests water retention from the salty crackers and cheese. Let’s see what tomorrow brings

    Or water associated with the extra glycogen from those custard creams. Whatever the explanation, you're smart to realize that it's mathematically impossible to be a real gain.
