Dawn

We hit the gym before dawn, picking up the routine from years ago with relative ease. The press were in the building, which always weirds me out, covering the popularity of the facility and the New Year's Resolution thing. I found out the pool doesn't open until 630, but it's all good.

After five minutes on the elliptical machine, I worked legs, walked, and did 25 inclined crunches, followed by a nice plank and some leg lifts. Fifteen minutes in the hot tub before hitting the showers was just right.  As  I got dressed, I started fantasizing about scrambled eggs with Swiss cheese on a bagel with mustard and mayonnaise. At home, I made it half a bagel and enjoyed every bite.

January 2

I broke down and joined a gym, in January, no less. Because it has a heated pool. But I love it. I need a new swimsuit and a new pair of yoga pants. Still love it anyway.

Did the elliptical for three whole minutes - this is new.
Walked a mile, did a minute plank and 30 seconds each side. Side planks are new.
Swam 5 laps (10 lengths)
Spent a couple minutes in the hot tub.

Ate a Huge salad with Romaine lettuce, carrots, garbanzo beans, a parsnip, celery and a tomato-and-a-half. Followed it with 6 ounces roast beef and four slices of Swiss cheese.

1.5 litres of water so far.
