Psychotomy

OK, so, I’m back up to needing a 40 waist from a 38, and I seem to have tipped over 210 again :/

So, it’s time to start working on my weight again.    Bonus, Kiir’s family is doing a 5k next fall that Grandpa’s Rotary club is dedicating to his memory.

So I decided to look up the “couch to 5k” site.  Then I realized that i don’t really have the option of going out and running for half an hour to an hour each evening.

That led me back to the 100 pushups site that our guild had started working at (I believe we all dropped out by week 3 due to missing our workouts).  But that didn’t work last time, because DK climbs up on my back because we’re obviously doing rides.  K stands under my head to see what I’m looking at.  And I imagine Pi would now come over and use my legs to stand so that whenever I move she falls down :o

So I followed links from there to 200 situps and 200 squats.  And I decided that situps I can probably do.  DK will sit on my stomach, so my abs will get a bit more workout.  K will either stand by my head and watch or just ignore me completely since I’m just laying there.  And Pi will probably use my legs still, but now they aren’t moving.

Added bonus?  My stomach is the (duh) biggest weight issue AFAICT, so this will help work the right muscle group to hopefully tone it down some.

I might add the squats in on alternate days and do both things  They’re both 6-week “programs”, and they both suggest a day off between steps (MWF basically) to let the muscles rest.  But I believe squats and situps would be different muscle groups anyway :)

Currently, when I did the initial test, I can do 15 sit-ups in a row before my abs start hurting too much to pull another off.  Not so hot :/  Better than the 5 I was expecting though :o  Will try again Friday or Saturday, for a second data-point and to validate the initial.  And Monday, 7 Dec 2009, I’ll start working on the 6-weeks situps :o
