Today's horoscope for Aries: Luck is certainly on your side these days. You possess fairly consistent energy to implement your plans, but be sure to get enough rest and quiet to avoid burnout.
I woke up early this morning ... 5:20 am. I bought the Omron Body Fat calculator ... wanted to check it out first thing in the morning ... 34%. I'd like to do measurements, and see how close it is to the numbers I've been getting.
I had to get my friend's son to football practice by 6 ... and then I headed for the gym. I got there right at 6 am. I haven't been to the gym that early in the morning, so I had no idea how crowded it might be ... it wasn't.
I had a good run on the treadmill. I started with a 5 min. warm-up, and then eased into a 13 min./mile pace, which I held for the completion of the 1st mile. Then, I upped it to a 12 min./mile for the 2nd mile. After a short brisk-walk break, I got back up to the 13 min./mile pace until it was time for the 5 min. cool-down.
On my way out of the gym, I stopped at the pull-up assist machine, and did 3 sets of assisted pullups.
It felt good to get up early and get it done this morning. I am quite proud of myself for getting up early and working out. I didn't get as much done as I'd planned/hoped, but, I got up and burned some calories.
I had to drop off my car to get the oil changed, and the brakes replaced ... so my exercise included the approximately 3/4 mile from Speedy to Target and then home. Plus, the 1/2 mile return trip a few hours later to get my car back.
So, I decided to take the advice of my horoscope (something I normally read for the humor in how off the mark it is) ... and take a nap today!! ;-)
Tomorrow, I'm planning on getting up early again. I'll go running at the gym again. I'm going to stay on a little longer tomorrow. I should be getting more sleep tonight, so, I'm hoping for more energy to get an additional workout--a P90X workout--done tomorrow, along with all the other things I need to do tomorrow.
