Friday, December 1: <\/strong>It’s now almost 2 pm. I have a few errands to run, and then I must go to the gym. I will go to the gym … If I can remember where it is. I didn’t go to the gym.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday, December 2: <\/strong>Likewise.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunday, December 3: <\/strong>No exercise, but I cleaned my apartment if that counts. A productive day overall, albeit one without exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday, December<\/span>\u00a04:\u00a0<\/strong>Finally! Up early after a good night’s sleep and back in the gym just after 7 am. Sixteen treadmill minutes – I definiately felt the inevitable loss of fitness. Then a light core, calves, and forearms workout. It great to be exercising again. Memo to self: Keep it up this time!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tuesday, December 5: <\/strong>Made it to the gym two days in a row, and they were both early morning workouts. Just treadmill this morning – 19 minutes worth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wednesday, December 6: <\/strong>Too busy to exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thursday, December 7: <\/strong>Ditto.<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday, December 8: <\/strong>Likewise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday, December 9: <\/strong>Back in the gym for a much-needed workout: 25 minutes of weights (back, lats, biceps, forearms, sides, and lower back) followed immediately by ten short but steep treadmill minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sunday, Dec. 10 –\u00a0<\/strong>Friday, Dec. 15:\u00a0<\/strong>Another break due to finishing up the teaching semester, some cult happenings, and Star Wars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday, December 16: <\/strong>Back to work with a light chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, and calves workout followed by 14 treadmill minutes that ended with a burst at speed that perhaps could be generously described as a sprint.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sunday, December 17: <\/strong>My gym is closed, and it’s too cold to go for a swim – I don’t care how warm it is inside. My busiest teaching semester in quite a while is over, so from tomorrow it’s all systems go. I shall make it so.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday, December 18: <\/strong>Just another short cardio session. My goals were simply to make it to he gym, sweat a little, and then get out as quickly as possible. Mission accomplished!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Dec. 19 – Friday<\/strong>\u00a0Dec. 22: <\/strong>Another few days without exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday, December 23: <\/strong>Just 15 minutes of cardio as that’s all I had time for.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sunday, December 24: <\/strong>A day of pre-Christmas resting\u00a0 following a bit of a party Saturday night and preceding another party Sunday night. I abstained from the booze on Sunday night after partaking on Saturday night. That sacrifice enabled me to exercise the next day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday, December 25: <\/strong>An unusually active Christmas Day with 17 cardio minutes on my favorite treadmill and I walked 14 kilometers throughout the afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Dec. 26 –\u00a0<\/strong>Thursday, Dec. 28: <\/strong>An extra winter class kept from the gym.<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday, December 29: <\/strong>I walked 16 kilometers after work if that counts.<\/p>\n

Saturday, December 30: <\/strong>I walked 14 kilometers if that counts.<\/p>\n

Sunday, December 31: <\/strong>I walked 15 kilometers if that counts. And thus ends a year that included 167 cardio sessions, yet ended on a whimper. Can I regain my exercising mojo in 2018?<\/p>\n
