It's kind of sad that today is the last day of our Thanksgiving break. It has been really nice to relax at home and enjoy this quiet time together. Yesterday I fantasized about getting the Christmas trees up today, but this morning I changed my mind. I think it's better to finish out this weekend without a lot of fanfare. We have plenty of time to get our Christmas trees.
It's been a little cool for bike riding this weekend (Thursday was our warmest day, by far, and I didn't have time to ride on Thursday) and it has been a while since I have been in the pool, so I decided today was a good day for a swim. At the same time, I kind of wanted to do a brick, so I decided to do a little mini-tri indoors at the gym today. I swam 60 laps (1500 meters), rode the stationary bike almost 10 miles (30 minutes), and ran just short of 3 miles (30 minutes). None of it was too hard, unless you count the first four laps of swimming. That is always the hardest part. If it has been a while since I've been in the pool, my legs always feel like lead when I starting out on my laps. I didn't have any trouble with the cycling or running, though I feel pretty wiped out now. I put the stationary cycle on level 10, which feels like a very slight incline. No incline on the treadmill. Next weekend it is supposed to be in the 60s, so I will try to get outside for a bike ride and a run then. Between yesterday's racquetball/run and today's mini-tri, I feel like I have worked out hard this weekend. It feels pretty good!!
I was pleased to see 158.6 pounds on the scale this morning. Only 8.6 pounds to go!! Perhaps it's time for before and now photos. Here you go!!

You look like Ruth <- huge compliment! Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteI said exactly the same thing when I saw this photo. The more weight I lose the more I look like my sister and the less I look like my mother. Yes, that's a good thing!
DeleteAs Patrick put it, you look more like me than you look like you used to.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an intense workout weekend. Take it easy for a couple of days!
