Last night I was pretty out of it — only managed another 500 words or so. Tonight I won’t write — I’ll go to yoga instead. Tomorrow night is Thursday, and there will be Thursday night tea. I should finish chapter 11 at that point. I’ll hopefully be able to push and finish chapter 12 on Friday and Saturday, though we’ll see. It’s an awfully messy chapter, and even to get it from on paper to the computer is going to require a lot of rewriting. I’d like to start writing chapter 13 this weekend though, get a good start on it, and finish it by next weekend.
On Monday, I attacked my intensive cardio routine at the gym. After a few days off it felt good. I completed the routine, much to my surprise. I didn’t think I could. It’s only been 3 weeks of going to the gym on a regular basis and I can already see improvement. Today I didn’t quite finish. I had bumped up from Monday’s numbers. It was the last 2 minute stretch on the last rep that I sucked at. (I do four reps of the following on the elliptical: 2 minutes fast, one minute slow, 2 minutes faster, one minute slow, 2 minutes faster & with more resistance, five minutes recovery, then repeat.) We’ll see what I do come Monday — if it’s the same routine, or if I bump up my numbers again. Tomorrow is training with my personal trainer. I *heart* him. He’s intense, interesting, and a muscle geek. He changes the workout that he has me do all the time. It’s always challenging and different, and that’s what I need.
