Summit junkie!

30 minute ab workout while I watched the Jets Chargers game. I love my new ball.

Also took the dog on a 3 mile run because she really needed to get some exercise. It was a lot of fun, but I deserve bonus miles because I had to fight her a lot. She gets so excited and tries to chase every dog and cat we come across. She did only run into me once, so she is getting better.

Had the day off, so we took the kids to a movie (Spy Next Door), and then to my parents for a party for my son. I made it to the gym and lifted for 40 minutes (biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders). My abs were so sore and I could only do about half as many pull ups as normal before I got tired. That ball is great.

I weigh myself after every workout and for the last 3 months I have been within 1-2 lbs every time. Tonight I was 4 lbs higher than I have been in the last 3 months. I'm not sure if it was all of the pizza, Cafe Rio, cake and ice cream over the weekend, but it is just odd that it would spike by 4 lbs after 3 months of being the same weight no matter how much I exercised or ate. I'm very interested to see what the scale says next time.

Went to the dentist on Tuesday and had some major work done. It was a lot more serious than I had hoped, but I did get a heavy dose of nitrous to make me forget about all of my pain. Not a great day, and felt terrible, so no working out.

Yesterday I still had a terrible headache and the Lortab the dentist gave me knocked me out after work, so no working out for the second day in a row. I can't remember the last time that happened.

Hopefully the rest of the week will be better. I plan on hitting the gym tonight for some lifting and running. I'll update later.

PM- Did 4.5 on the TM. It felt good to actually sweat again. I think I'll hit the gym in the AM to lift. My mouth, jaw and head are killing me. I'm debating Lortab or Ibuprofen.

Woke up early and hot the gym before work. Lifted for 45 minutes (chest, arms, core) and had a great workout. I love starting off my Fridays at the gym. My mouth is still hurting, but 3 Ibuprofen for breakfast knocked out the pain.

I weighed myself and I lost the 4 lbs that I mysteriously gained a few days ago. I'm not sure how that happened.  I'm going to try and run some on the TM later if I can. Good luck to everyone running races this weekend.

My wife has a project due for school, so I spent most of the day watching, wrestling, chasing, and otherwise playing with my kids. It was a loooong day, and I was exhausted. All I can say is you stay at home moms work your butts off, and definitely work a lot harder than I do.

My wife was sweet enough to allow me time to get in a good workout, so I did 8 on the TM in 1:11. I was sweating all over and was starving after I finished, so I rewarded myself with a bowl of Crunch Berries.

My wife also picked me up some new trail runners (Asics Kahana's). They aren't Gor-tex like my Montrails, but I think they are more comfortable. I am excited to run in them. She is an angel.
