Still water becomes stagnant

ELLIPTICAL 30'
STRENGTH 20'
BIKE COMMUTE 9.4 miles
PLYOS (in addition to the strength above)

I met RM and CM at the park Sunday for some dog play and catching up. RM has hired a coach on TP.com, he said he needs the accountability to get his training in. Sounds I lot like me -- unhappy with how schedule is empty, sleeping in instead of getting up to move, etc.

So on Monday I texted him with proposal for accountability. I typed up my Tuesday (today) plans around 2pm but didn't send the text until 8pm! I didn't want to go to the gym! HA!

My 2017 blog book was in the mail. It's so tiny, like a pamphlet. Doesn't even have enough edge on the binding to print the title.

So this morning around 2am I woke up and realized I could save time by riding the trainer. Went back to bed. Woke up at 520am (alarm was 5am!) and started to get ready by getting dressed. Ate some brekkie (mistake -- it upset my stomach later) (I haven't mentioned yet the Keto and fasting experiments; Keto going great, OMAD fasting now working for my crabby tummy so today was the first day breaking that schedule up)...anyway....6am I'm still screwing around, 7am approaching and I'm done walking the dog, took her for a full walk as a stalling mechanism for time. I'd already stalled by surfing the internets, so in my head I was running "late". But since I'd sent that text to RM, I was motivated to go. So I went!

30 min on elliptical then 20 mins in the weights area working through some new hip and glute exercises from the YT channel the surgeon directed me to. YAY!!

And I was initially going to drive to work, but after getting home (more munching!), warming up, and a hot shower I was ready to BIKE in. YAY!! In the end, the 20F temps were a total non-issue for biking.

Hip update: feeling good, some discomfort now and then. I'm hoping to meet with JH later this week.
