All This and Only Two Hours from the Bustling Metropolis

So, as mentioned in last week’s blog post (am I really relegated to one post a week these days?), I spent Friday traipsing the local hills…

This was in the mountains just to the west of Palm Springs. To get up to the top, we got to ride the Palm Springs Aerial Tram:

Other than that though, I got absolutely zero in. Saturday was a forced recovery day (believe me – walking from the bed to the computer was painful) and Sunday was a family get together to celebrate two of my kids birthdays.

This week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are out. I should get some miles in on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

At least the scale is going the right direction still. Another loss of 1.9 pounds. If you look closely at the last scene of the first video, you’ll see why this is important.

Gotta run to my lunch appointment. Thanks for stopping by!

A Tough Workout Week

Well, after last week’s success, this is proving to be a tough week to get my workouts in. A number of appointments have found their way on my calendar (like I don’t want them or something?). I’m busy in the mornings, busy in the afternoons. It doesn’t look like my mid-week workouts are happening.

Oh well – Friday is actually going to be a day-long workout (a hike actually), so all is not lost. Sometimes we just need to let life take it’s course. Thank goodness I have no races planned.

On the calorie front, I’ve managed to stay within +/- 150 calories of my daily goal. It sucks being hungry….

I’ll check in again this weekend!

Well, the Numbers Seem to Work…

If you recall, I was a little concerned last week that MyFitnessPal was grossly inflating some of my exercise numbers. Well, the final tally for last week: –4 pounds. I guess they work after all. All I have to say about that is:

Hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July!
