Thursday, February 2: <\/strong>Seventy cardio minutes accompanied by the end of two movies set on Mars: Red Planet<\/em> and John Carter<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Friday, February 3: <\/strong>A 15-minute treadmill warm-up was followed by \u00a0a pretty decent lats, back, biceps, and calves workout. And I finished by adding another 17 minutes to my treadmill tally.\u00a0\u00a0(Cumulative Total: 102)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sunday, February 5: <\/strong>A day off because I was feeling pretty stiff from my last two weights session. Plus my neck is still bothering me. Perhaps a day off will do it some good. I was still active though, and spent a good few hours in the evening wandering around listening to music and thinking my private thoughts on life, the universe, and everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday, February 6: <\/strong>I finally saw a doctor about a neck muscle strain. I still considered exercising, but decided on a day spent largely in bed instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuesday, February 7:\u00a0<\/strong>I kept putting off today’s gym appearance, and suddenly, the day was over. Back to work tomorrow, and that’s a promise.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Monday, February 20: <\/strong>I skipped today’s workout. I came close to exercising though as the decision to not exercise was made very close to my gym.<\/span><\/p>\n
