Work and Daylight Savings are not my friends
So I took the last three days off. Friday, I had work and friends in from out of town. Saturday, I just couldn't force myself to go out into that torrential downpour/ Sorry. And Sunday was apparently Daylight Savings. Thank god I used my cell phone to wake me up, or I would have been late for work.
Half a G.. What?!
Initially I had planned to do 45 of each my push ups, sit ups and squats for the day. I knocked out 15 of each at the office when no one was looking today. But when I got home, two sets felt kind of lazy so I did a third and hit 60 of each exercise. When I went to log my progress, I saw I was only 10 squats and 6 pushups short of 500. So I did those too.
50% feels gooooood..

See this plateau? I'm jumping off of it..
I've noticed lately that my spin classes seem to be more challenging. For a while, the only instructor that was consistently destroying me was Carl, but Carl is Crunch's spin diva. But these days, no matter whose class I'm taking, I am getting my sweaty money's worth.

I had another productive day.
Today was my first day back at the gym after two days off. I did my push ups, sit ups, and squats on Monday, but I was didn't do anything legitimately athletic yesterday, unless you count running between boroughs to be social and get a long overdue haircut. I felt guilty about it for a bit, then I reminded myself that I'd built in the extra reps to compensate for days just like yesterday.

Pull ups are still not my friend.
I got to the gym early yesterday so I could knock out another attempt at the pull-up-ness. I'd read a program the night before that suggested pyramiding the reps and taking off weight each time, so I thought I'd try it. I modified it a bit though.
