Today was my "weekend catch up" day since I spent most of the "real" weekend in Rockport. I planned to do a lot of relaxing, but I ended up being quite busy, thanks to a workout, lots of laundry, grocery shopping, renewing Blue's license at the Town Hall and making dinner for Sweetie and me. It's also pretty darn hot out which makes everything seem more strenuous.Like my workout for example. I headed upstairs a little before noon determined to do 40 minutes on my elliptical trainer, and I did, but it was really tough. I had a fan on me, and the upstairs wasn't too hot at that time, but after a while I just felt so tired, especially in my legs. When I was done, I felt kind of space-y so I had some water, a frozen fruit bar, some Triscuits and a piece of Laughing Cow cheese, and I felt a little better. I've been drinking water all day long too.In other fitness news, I joined Spark People today! I joined Fitday a few years ago, and found it to be adequate, but nothing exciting, and I had read good things about Spark People on others' blog so today I decided, what the heck, and signed up. So far I'm pretty impressed. For one thing, it has a lot more foods that I eat already in the food database. Like I typed in "Earth Balance" (vegan "butter") and it was there. And that's just one example. On Fitday I had to enter a lot of custom foods. There's also this whole "fun" mood to the site that seems nice. There are teams and communities and such, and although I'm not one for online social networking sites, it does make going to the site more interesting.Labels: busy life, physical fitness posted by Miss Rachel 7/21/2008 09:11:00 PM . . .
