Chris's birthday

[avram]

Second Hot Point workout day today; I think it went a little better than Sunday. I’m doing mostly different exercises (that’s the whole point of the Hot Point regime: not doing the same thing each time), and I liked this set better than the last one. I tried out the elliptical cross-trainer for my five-minute pre-workout warm-up, and it wasn‘t as bad as I feared. I don’t think I’m up to using it for the post-workout 20-minute aerobics; I used the treadmill for that on Sunday, and the stationary recumbent bike today. The heart-rate monitor helps a lot.

After I got back Chris and I played phone-tag for a bit around our showers. Eventually I got invited to go along with her and her mom to dinner for Chris’s birthday. I fell way off the Hot Point nutrition plan today, but the beef stew was way tasty.

Oh, and the weather’s finally gotten civilized. Highs in the low eighties. On my way home, the sky was the color of a Maxfield Parrish painting.

One of the low-end Polars, the a3. I was going to get another model (I forget which; they were selling for 20% off), but I needed the longer chest band, which meant going with Polar given what the store had in stock.
