Day 3 of XBX. I'm on Chart One, Level 2. There's 4 charts and 48 levels. For my age group, the goal is Chart 3, Level 26. Will I push past my goal? I don't know. But it would take me until mid-September to do it if I kept up with daily exercise.
Today, I had help from both dogs. It adds extra work. Chloe, the crazy lab mix, was sleeping peacefully. So I took my chance to work out undisturbed. Buster, the old guy, came wiggling over, gave me a couple of pokes while I was lying on the floor. That didn't get the expected response, so he poked the sleeping dog. She can go from dead sleep to full riot in a micro-second. So a dog rumble interrupted the sit-ups portion of the workout. Instead, I got to wave my arms and yell. Does that count?
I also got up at a decent time and made hot cereal for breakfast. Early rising and cooking don't mix. I put pepper in the cereal. Spicy. It took a bit for me to figure out why my hot cereal smelled like pepper, but I was able to put it together enough to scoop the pepper out and put lots of pumpkin pie spice in to mask it. I tried Sunny Boy cereal. It's like a kinder, gentler Red River cereal. And full of fibre.
My other challenge is to get to work earlier so I can leave earlier. Today, I managed to make breakfast, workout, walk the dogs, select a reasonably good-looking outfit and get to work early! Victory in our time.
However, I didn't pack lunch and ended up with repulsive egg salad sandwich from the caf at work. The bagel was stale and the toppings kept sliding off. I broke the pop ban too. Ah well. Can't win them all.
