Routine
Posted by Joel Fri, 08 Sep 2006 16:39:00 GMT
Things are pretty predictable lately. I don't mind my routine, though. On the whole, my days are pretty enjoyable. Work, commute, and after hours; can't complain. It's lagom.
I was lapsing into later start times and consequently getting some parking tickets so I'm going the early route again. Trying to be in my car by 7 am every day. This is mainly so I can arrive back into the city by 6pm and still have done a full day's work; at 6pm, parking is very good, and tons of good parking spots require you be out by 7:00 or 7:30 am the next day. So if I keep that schedule well, I never have to worry about parking, and there isn't really much traffic in my commute.
Wednesday I worked out again. I hadn't done it in over a week so I decided to push myself. Before, I used to read a book and ride the bike for a half hour. I would usually burn just under 250 calories. Then last time I made it a goal to make 250. The time after that, I put the book down 10 minutes from the end and just made it all the way to 260 in a half hour. But this time, I didn't read the book at all, made my goal 265 calories as fast as I could do it, and got it done in under 25 minutes!
I've also "levelled up" on curling, now doing reps of 40 lbs instead of 30. It's a good feeling when you get to move up a weight rank.
I want to try to lose a pound a week. Or at least a half pound. Really need to exercise more, though.
At night I've just been having a few beers and chatting with people or watching TV or playing WoW. Weekend is coming up so who knows what I'll do. I'm going to give myself a couple errands to accomplish so I can start chipping away at a backlog that has been growing. Slow and steady.
Ben made me aware of the show with zefrank and you should probably watch that.
