Comments at the gym

Wednesday workout time! I had a quick protein drink and headed out to the gym.

Lifting Move of The Week – Squat to Row

Happy Hump Day! Sort of. When you work 6 days, where is the hump exactly? Guess that would be tonight. Anyhoo, I decided to chance the gray skies and bike to the gym. First I quaffed a protein beverage:

Then headed out.

The air in the gym was all wavy from the amount of [...]

Jam or jelly?

Thank you for your comments on my Team Challenge ride!  I need to figure out how to put a donate button or something on this site, but the page you can do it from is here, and click on the support button to the right.  It will be a bit different from our longer rides [...]

What’s blooming and last of the blues

B&D Toaster Oven Review and Blueberry Cornbread Muffins

I received my Black and Decker Toaster Oven from CNS stores last week.

I have to say that it shipped really fast, so kudos to them! Pretty sleek.  This is also a convection oven, which is pretty cool.  We were doing the standard bread toasting in it at first, but I wanted to see [...]

What’s blooming today

Weekend time! Sort of. I still need to do job #2, but whose counting at this point?

I was looking forward to a calorie busting workout today and I got one. I had a piece of yummy toast and jam prior to leaving.

Then I biked to the gym and hit the iron:

Lifting Move of the week and biz-zay!

It was still hot this morning, but not too bad for riding to the gym for my workout.

Heat wave and the single life.

Heat wave!  Are you keeping cool?  Pixie is trying

I knew I had to get the exercise done early unless I wanted to go to the gym and do the treadmill, so I was outside at 7 am to run at the track.  It was a nice quiet 3-mile run, although warm already [...]

All in a day’s work.

Another day, another dollar, right?  My plan was to bike this morning, but then I laid there and thought I would go out later.  So, I just got up and made some brekkie!

I have a problem wolfing down my waffles.  I think it is because they are never as hot as my [...]

Fruit-full day

Happy Monday! After taking Sunday off from all but a short walk, I was up to hit the gym this morning. Drank some protein and biked there. My legs felt pretty good, I have to say.
