WGOM Fitness: 24 November 2012, Consolidation

Yesterday, I ate leftovers from the Thanksgiving meal. We had a relatively small turkey, but there were just four of us eating on Thanksgiving, so that meant there was plenty left over. The dressing was good, the cranberries were fine, and I stayed away from the potatoes. We still have plenty of leftovers, enough to eat this weekend. I basically substituted the stuffing for my normal bread intake and I eat turkey pretty much every day, so that was no substitute at all. I did enjoy a little cranberry sauce and Miss SBG sure liked it.

I worked on a couple of projects yesterday, including getting all the Christmas-y crap out of the basement and putting up one of our two trees. I had some garage projects to work on, too, and it was pretty cold out there, but moving around, I got warmed up nicely. Plus, calorie burn!

I went to the gym after Miss SBG went to bed. I tried a "Heart Rate Hill" interval program on the bike. Craptastic. It didn't vary the resistance, so to vary heart rate, I had to pedal at 120 RPM. Then, I'd have to slow way down. I won't be doing that routine again. In 45 minutes, I burned fewer than 300 calories.

I wondered about that reading on Friday morning. I had slept in and that meant that the reading wasn't at a normal time, so that could also have meant a lower reading than I would have otherwise gotten. But, I'm down again this morning, and I weighed earlier than normal. We are only talking about a few ounces here, but after about a month of frustrating results, I'm back to consistent positive results, for the most part. It appears that I've blown through the Thanksgiving holiday as if it weren't there, weight-wise.

  1. Had a good cardio with the neighbor helping to move a modular desk unit from their basement out to their garage, and then moving 2 yd3 of pea gravel from my driveway to under the deck out back.

  2. so, canned cranberry "sauce", or the real thing?

    my MiL loves the canned crap, so it is on the table every year at her house, next to the real stuff. And, like the jarred Gefilte fish at Passover, the canned stuff gets thrown away uneaten.

    the Girl finished all of the cranberry sauce leftovers (it went great on latkes) on her soy ice cream the last two evenings. Damn her. I love cranberry sauce.
