    It is surprising what a difference a little weight will do for your health. Hats off to our serviceman who walk and run with 70 rucksacks on their backs.

    Thanks, slept all the way through the night, first time in two weeks and zero coughing or struggling to breath this morning. Actually looking forward to today since I feel pretty good so far.

    Sorry, guys. I'm a few days behind.

    Sunday: 40 mile ride on my mountain bike

    Monday: Rest

    Tuesday: 2 mile jog/run on the beach front (not actual beach) and then enjoyed my coffee while watching the sun rise just after running.

    Wednesday: I walked for 50 minutes this morning. Today will also be chest, back, and maybe even some power clings in the gym.

    Ended up skipping workout today as Granddaughter had after school function and went over to support her.

    Today's Work Out:

    • Woke up at 4:20 AM and jogged 2 miles this morning, then walked for an additional 30 minutes.
    • Walk the parking garage today at least twice.
    • This evening I will go to the gym to work biceps and back.
    • (If I can get to the gym with workout partner early enough, I may walk for another 30 minutes or so)
    I'm down 30 pounds and from a snug 38" relaxed fit waist size down to a 34 to 34" relaxed fit waist size since July 13! Woot! :bounce017:

    Much, much better. Have slept soundly last two nights, no more hacking, mucus buildup or post nasal drip. Thanks for thinking of me.

    I had to rearrange my workout schedule, so no gym tonight. I'll work biceps and back tomorrow.

    Been a crazy day at work and now I felt a little under the weather. No gym for me today. Looking forward to a good night sleep!

    Well I hope you recover soon and don't come down with Adult Whooping Cough. Found out at work today my boss also has it. More than likely she got it from me as she sat at the office desk next to mine for three days.

    Thanks, I think my stomach was just upset with something I ate but it's all gone now.

    No workout yesterday. Just when I was walking out of the office headed to the gym, granddaughter called and wanted to spend the night (actually she wanted to go to the pumpkin patch) so spent the evening and this morning with her. Always a joy having her around.

    Did go to the gym this afternoon and took in half hour recumbent bike ride and 20 minutes in the sauna.
