I’m back from TN - more on that is here. I packed dumbells and an exercise band I purchased from the Pro Shop before I left. I was Pretty Darn Good (as opposed to Very Good, but I was on vacation, damnit!) with my calories and alternated days with trying to work out as closely as possible to my routine with the machines and walking. I discovered that holding a laughing 20 lb. baby over my head while doing crunches is exceptionally effective (and fun for him, too!) I am really uncoordinated with the band, however, so I don’t think that was as effective as I might have hoped. It’s hard to say how much I gained on vacation - we’e quessing maybe .5-1 lb. Before I left my weight was up almost 2 lbs., but the scale was misbahaving - it’d register in the right weight range and then suddenly pop up. I couldn’t have gained 2 lbs in 2 days, and Olga did say the computer was acting a little funny, so she thought it was a computer issue (it’s connected to the scale) and told me not to fret. Ah well. I must be exceptionally good this weekend. I’ll be in tomorrow AM for cardio.
Today’s workout (last one!) with Olga was the usual schtick - upped chest press 1 lb. and leg extention 2 lbs. I need to figure out how to manage more time with her on a more periodic basis (maybe going down from three times a week to once a week?), but it’s tres pricey. Monday will be the weigh-in and Great Caliper Ritual for the final assessment. I can hardly wait, let me tell you. Today’s weight 274.0.
