The Importance of Plan B

Monday.

The day did not go as planned. My car broke down this morning.

My plan was to go to the gym for my training today. That didn't happen. I did salvage the day however and got in a nice long 45-minute 2.5 mile walk home from the shop. It was actually a nice walk and I took the route on the beach instead of the road. I almost gave up on my actual training for today; but then I realized that I don't have to go to the gym to do strength exercises and stretch. I finally got out the spri-tube I've had for ages and put it to good use. Biceps, triceps, deltoids, chest, and back followed by squats and lunges and topped off with floor work for inner/outer thighs, glutes, and abs. Whew! Then I did some good long stretching.

Calories burned: approximately 270.


I've done well eating today also even with a birthday dinner out for a friend tonight. Grilled salmon is divine.
