Time flies when you're having fun, yes? I'm 10 days into my holiday fitness challenge.
Went cycling again today with my husband. The weather was beautiful, although the wind was pretty stiff. My legs were still tired from my leg workout at the gym two days ago and my ride yesterday. So tomorrow they'll get a break.
Tomorrow will be devoted to bench press, pullups, and other assorted upper-body movements in the gym.
These days I am loving the assisted pullup and dip machine because without assistance, I wouldn't be able to perform those movements. In my heyday I could do quite a few pullups and dips without assistance, but it took a looooong time to build the strength to do it. Back in the ’80s my friend Jim McKairnes used to hold my knees and help me complete my pullups—until the proud day when I was able to do them on my own.
I'll get there again.
Oh—update on the chocolate-chip cookies. I baked three dozen of them this morning before going to Mass. Didn't eat a single one!
