I can't believe it's Easter. It's the most un-Easter-y Easter I think I've ever had. I even forgot it was Easter. But then it's not as if I usually do much for this holiday. The Easter bunny no longer visits and brings me a basket of candy as he did when I was little. And coloring eggs is fun, but you kind of have to do it with other people and have some people to eat them too. With Sweetie's having gone vegan, he wouldn't be that much help in that department. Anyway, happy Easter to those who are celebrating.Another thing that makes it seem un-Easter-y is the weather. It's cold, and it even snowed a little last week. Thank god it didn't snow for that long nor did it accumulate. I'm kind of done complaining about the weather though. It's not that unusual here in New England to get some snow in April. That's just the way it is. And there are some flowers starting to come up. Soon we'll have a few clumps of daffodils in bloom.********************I'm starting a new weights program at the gym tomorrow. I'm meeting with the trainer to go through it. She e-mailed me a spreadsheet of the new program. Here's what I'll be doing:Bicep Curl/Over BallReverse Hyper/Leg LiftIsolated Bicep CurlDead Lift RowRest & RepeatLying Single Arm Tricep CrossoverDead Lift Elevated HeelsTricep Dips/BenchRest & RepeatWall Squat/Alt. Front Shoulder RaisePush-Up/RowReverse Curl In/BallRest & RepeatSingle Arm Chest Fly/BallSuperman (reps)Push Up/Step Rest & RepeatInner Thigh/Ball SqueezeSlow Double CrunchPlank HoldRest & RepeatLying Hamstring Curl/Machine # 3Plie TapRest & RepeatYikes, doesn't that seem like a bit much? (But at least there's not the 80 squats I had to do in the old routine.) I don't want to have to spend forever at the gym. Of course, I'm of the mindset that if I'm going to the gym, I should get a good workout when I'm there or what's the point? I still haven't seen much progress in terms of my weight on the scale, but I do think my butt seems a little firmer so I think working out may be helping.********************As you can see, I don't have much to say, but it's been so long since I posted I thought I should check in at least.Listening: Bob Dylan - Highway 61 RevisitedJudy Garland - The Capitol YearsWatching: Six Feet Under, Season FiveFuturama, Volume 2Miss Marple: The Sittaford Mystery (2006) starring Geraldine McEwanSurvivor: Fiji (and tonight I watched an episode of the Amazing Race.)Labels: fitness, listening, spring, watching posted by Miss Rachel 4/08/2007 09:13:00 PM . . .
