Looks like you really enjoyed SMSM, from your exercises looks like you taken advantage of what you have learned!!! Awesome! Way to go as well on remembering the importance of stretching.
Day 24 - Wednesday, September 12, 2007
- Gym - 10 min warm-up on the treadmill; resistance (arms); 20 minutes on the elliptical; stretching
- Home - treadmill - LSB for 45 minutes (2.51 miles), listening to SM-SM Day 26 (oh dear, last day!) and the Daily Boost; stretching
Normally I do my exercise in the morning. Today I tried the afternoon - what a difference! Not nearly enough energy - couldn’t even do the full hour of LSB! A lesson learned.
On Day 26, Scott mentioned that us over 40’s should wait about 72 hours between exercising. I assume that is for weights, and doesn’t refer to the cardio???

When I was feeling ill, I reverted to inactivity (bundled up in front of the TV) and comfort food. Next day I felt worse. Hmm ... what is it that Scott says about using good food to fuel your body? Luckily for me, I remembered on Monday, and went back to an appropriate food plan. Maybe this has something to do with why I feel better??? Still fighting something, but at least I’m better equipped to fight it.
darn it, Scott is right again!!!!! LOL, I sometimes have to remind myself that the feeling of “post workout high” only comes after working out and doing something good for my body, I never feel that good after pigging out. Way to go on your LSB and workout. Bet you are feeling good
Wow - I have been really remiss in posting - a lot of catching up to do!
