Today I did 30 minutes of high intensity cardio. To mix it up a little, I did 15 minutes on the elliptical (10 crossramp/5 resistance) intervals of 30 seconds hard as I can versus 1 minute 30 seconds of regular speed and then 15 minutes of treadmill (3% to 8% incline - 3.9 mph). You spend more calories and your body will continue to spend more calories if you focus on the INTENSITY of your workout.

Going out to dinner with my sister and Dad tonight. Fred's going to babysit Chloe and Gunner for my sister. It's been a LONG time since the three of us have been out by ourselves. Too bad my brother and sister can't get over their issues so he could come too, but I'm sure Dad will get together with him another night.

It is nice going to fitness when it's not crowded! Thinking about doing that myself today. I usually wait until late evening, but then sometimes I have to wait for equipment and I don't wait well! :-)
Have a nice dinner with you sister and dad. And yes it is too bad your brother and sister can't 'play nice' together so you can all be together.
See you next week at the retreat..yippee!
I am impressed that you are so regular with your exercise. I am a fitness professional, and you put me to shame!
ps. Check out my blog, I tagged you. Sorry?!
I, too, am impressed with how regular you are about the exercise---wtg---you will achieve those goals. I hope you had a nice evening out with your family.
How was dinner? And I totally love being able to go to the gym during "normal business hours" b/c there generally isn't a long wait for anything. There actually are quite a few seniors at my gym though, and occasionally all the cardio machines are taken.
