tired ...

The good thing about the 8:55 pm DEN-MCI is that it maximizes your time there. The bad thing is that you get home after midnight and it's hard to wind down. I had trouble going to sleep and then a long day at work. Then I had annoying errands (store and gas). I contemplated not going to the gym. It was cold and damp and I have alot of laundry and a pile of mail to deal with on the counter.

But I made myself go. I think I really need to split the weightlifting and the cardio. It just takes too long, especially with my late start. Also, the weight area is just gross in the evening. Overly testosteroned, crowded. That needs to be done in the morning.

Anyway, I lifted - all the usuals.
Elliptical - 30 minutes, hill program level 8, allegedly 375 calories burned. Which seemed high. I didn't even go as hard as I do sometimes. Maybe I entered the wrong weight.

I wasn't done until after 8, which is later than I really like to be working out. Actually it's not so much the late working out as it is the eating late. Alot of times I would just eat popcorn, but I was just too hungry and I am trying to make sure I get carbs and protein after a workout. Especially since I spin in the morning.

So, what did you eat? I would have grabbed the Mixx!

I am hoping to squeeze a run in today before the snow starts. They keep saying "sizable accumulation" and "quite a bit" -- What the heck does that mean???

Good thing you were here last weekend.
