Mouth Breather–Literally

ha. that’s me. i don’t believe it, but i have another summer cold! well, technically it’s still summer, right? my head’s totally stuffed up and i absolutely cannot STAND not being able to breathe normally.

because i feel so crappy, we didn’t work out yesterday or this morning, and i’m not going to practice tonight. my second appointment with the Social Services Agency was pushed back from Tuesday to tomorrow morning, and that’s the most important thing i need to make it to this week. i actually feel guilty, like i’m betraying my body, for not having exercised in two days.

we’ve been doing a really good job of going to the gym every morning these past couple of weeks. and as much as i hate to admit it, exercise really does improve depression. mainly i’ve been feeling angry and bitter, both of which have been really good motivators while working on cardio. heh.

when we first started working out every day, about two or three weeks ago, i was only able to do ten minutes on the elliptical and my strides per minute were in the 130s. now i’m doing 16 minutes with SPMs in the 160s.

i haven’t dropped too much poundage yet, but my average weight seems to be lower. click the chart above to see.
