Procrastination is a b...

Ok.. You know what I'm saying right? I've got all this work to do tonight for my MBA class and I'm writing a blog about nothing. That's right... this is about nothing. I'm ready to be graduated already (this is my last class). I'm sure you all will hear me complain for the rest of the semester. But, I can't wait until this is done.

In athletic news... Meliss and I went to the gym tonight. Unfortunately, we were only there for 10 minutes because Meliss started to feel queasy (pregnant queasy). Anyhow, we went home. No big deal to me. I was hungry and had a lot of work to procrastinate. But, I did get 10 minutes on the elliptical in today for the record. Not that it did me much good or anything.

Eagles Rumors

I waited my entire 30 minute elliptical workout to see what the rumors are for where McNabb "might" go next year. Now, I don't believe for a second that McNabb won't be an Eagle. But, it's still fun to listen to the offseason rumors. So, 30 minutes of waiting... and I realize it's an hour long SportsCenter. So, I never got to hear the rumor (I found out later it was the Bears, Vikings and Lions). The mill is swirling around the Eagles this year. They are rumored to be interested in Larry Fitzgerald, Roy Williams and Chad Johnson. Another year... another load of receivers that the Eagles are "interested" in.

I do hope the Eagles are aggressive in the offseason. But, I would rather see defensive additions than all these offensive additions. They can score points. They need a playmaker on defense... be it a cornerback, safety, or defensive end.

I also got just over 30 minutes of elliptical in and did a pretty good pace. I don't really keep stats on the elliptical. But, it felt tough for about 2/3 of the workout.

Cross train at the Y

Not a lot of human interest stuff today... Sophie and I shot hoops at the gym this morning while Melissa worked out. Then, I went upstairs and went on the elliptical for 30 minutes. I have a 4 miler tomorrow and then next week's long one is 5. Starting to make a little progress. But, I'm still sticking to 3 runs a week (perhaps for the entire half training).

YMCA Board Member??

Huh... So, I'm working out at the Y like usual. I leave Sophie with the girls up front. Then, since all the treadmills are taken, I proceed to go for a short run outside (probably against the rules, but oh well). Anyhow, I got back from my run and went back upstairs and spent another 15 minutes on the elliptical. After that, I came back downstairs to collect my daughter. Right before I was about to leave, Jessie (the girl over at the Y) came up to me and asked if I would like to be on the YMCA board. Now, I have no idea what someone on the board does. But, it sounds awfully important. So, I'm definitely considering it. In fact, I'm gonna go to the next board meeting and see what it's all about.

If anyone needs me, I'll be watching my servants wash and wax my Rolls Royce from my gold-plated hot tub. (I guess that's how I imagine a "board member's" life)

Run recap- 1.76 miles (no time data, I didn't have my watch)

Elliptical and lifting

I went to the Y this morning with Melissa. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and lifted biceps and triceps. Then, while Melissa was working out, I went downstairs and shot basketball for a half hour. It was a good morning workout. I'm going running with Nate tomorrow at the Conewago Trail. I've never been before, so it should be a good time.

Today's workout

Melissa and I went to the gym this morning and I played basketball for 40 minutes while Melissa worked out upstairs. Then, I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and did some bench press. I was going to do a full back and chest routine, but I didn't have the heart for it this morning for some reason. Anyhow, despite eating like crap all day today... I anticipate a really good weigh in tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Night To Myself

It doesn't happen often, but I had a night to myself tonight. Sophie and Meliss were over at a friend's house. And, I had the night to do whatever my heart desired. So, what did I do? I spent an hour and a half of no guilt workout at the Y. I lifted biceps and triceps and did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. Usually I feel bad going to the gym because I can only get there when I would also have the opportunity to spend time with Sophia (my wife too, but she doesn't go to sleep at 8). So, it was a welcome change to workout when I wasn't infringing on family time. Nice..

I had a slow start to this week for weight loss but my mind feels pretty good and ready to close the week strong. I expect another pound at least this week even though I started slow. Only time will tell.
