Tuesday, November 2:<\/strong> I started the month a day late with 20 kilometers on my exercise bike in the evening after work with\u00a0a season 1 episode of Star Trek DS9<\/em> to help pass the time:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, November 4:<\/strong> I had to drag myself to the gym after work and I almost didn’t make it. (long few days). But I did go and I managed to get in a\u00a0quite intense\u00a0workout that\u00a0consisted of exercises for my upper back, lats, traps, biceps, forearms, abs, lower abs, sides, and lower back. And I walked to work today and home again after class.\u00a0Walking is a\u00a0much more pleasant way to travel than my motorbike which quite frankly makes me\u00a0nervous.<\/p>\n

Friday,\u00a0November\u00a05:<\/strong>\u00a0Twenty-five kilometers on my exercise bike while watching the latest episodes of The Office<\/em> and Fringe:<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday, November 6: <\/strong>Just under 4.5 kilometers on the treadmill (the treadmills at the gym automatically shut down after 40 minutes) and then a great leg workout consisting of presses, extensions, curls, inner thigh exercises, and calfs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, November 7:<\/strong> Another gym session today, this time chest, shoulders, and triceps. And I ended with a light 3 kilometers on the treadmill – I didn’t want to tax my legs too much after yesterday’s workout:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, Pepero Day:<\/strong> OOps, it’s Thursday already and I haven’t exercised since Sunday. I’m hoping to go to the gym this evening….And I did indeed make it to the gym as promised. A very solid and sweaty 4 kilometers on the treadmill up a steeper than usual incline preceded by an equally solid weights session: upper back, traps, lats, biceps, sides and abs:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday, November 13:<\/strong> I made it to the gym in the late afternoon despite feeling a cold coming on. My mouth felt unusually dry all day – hope it\u00a0doesn’t last.\u00a0\u00a0But I exercised anyway and had a pretty decent workout both cardio-wise (3.5 km on the treadmill) and strength-wise with exercises for chest, shoulders, triceps, lower back, hamstrings, and calves…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday, November 20:<\/strong> Important announcement:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, November 21:<\/strong> Finally felt well enough to exercise and it felt great to be sweating from exertion rather than from\u00a0some stupid\u00a0yucky flu. Straight back into the weights as though I hadn’t been sick with exercises for my back, traps, lats, biceps, forearms, abs, sides, lower back, hamstrings, and calves. My only concession to my recent ill health was a shorter and slower treadmill session:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, November 25:<\/strong> Fifteen kilometers on my exercise bike while watching a season\u00a04\u00a0opener of Star Trek DS9.<\/em> The Klingons invaded Cardassia. There’s nothing like a fictitious war story to take your mind off the chance of a real war on the Korean Peninsula.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday, November 27:<\/strong> Back in the gym for the first time since last weekend. I haven’t been exercising as much of late, but I hope to be back into my regular routine (cardio every two days) by the middle of next week. 3.5 kilometers on the treadmill (which i really needed!) and a pretty solid chest, shoulders, triceps, abs, sides, and calves workout:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tuesday, November 30:<\/strong> I ended the rather disruptive month of November with 15 kilometers on my exercise bike:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Illness and a busier month both work and study wise hampered November’s fitness campaign. A total of ten cardio sessions for the month –\u00a0on average one every three days, which is well down from my normal average of one cardio session every two days. December’s campaign kicks off tomorrow morning. I really must get that cardio session average back up, and I must eat better to. I always aim to do that, but it never happens. Perhaps December will be different…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
