Weekend Workout

I went to bed early last night and woke up at 4am to a very loud BOOM! Thunderstorms in November.. how strange! Outside did not look good for running.. I just drove myself to the gym and decided to study for my test while running the cross ramp for my hour. Random..setting, 8 resistance and up to 15 for incline. I did forward for 15 minutes then backwards for 43 minutes and finished the last 2 sprinting forward to finish my 6.0 miles and burn 700+ calories for the day.. Did  some heavier weights.. Abs.. , arms and back... off to home I go because I'm hungry and its 9am..

I seem to have a better workout when I have something to do while I exercise. Studying helps me focus on something other then just running. It just seems a lot easier to memorize while I run. Now to do more studying to go over it once again to see if I can recall what I just learned the last hour.

Breakfast was a challenge today. We only have very ripe bananas. I like the more green ones.. off to have a few pepperoni.. not a great choice but we are out of ham which I really wanted today on a bagel.. I'm still hungry!!!!!! Oh, and I ate 2 pumpkin pop-tarts. Healthy choice.. I know...

I printed a copy and glued it to my I will get fit log book.. I plan to do this assessment every day to see how my mood varies over time... My prediction is that I will probably have similar results every day..
