6:05 am Musings
Mmmm. The coffee tastes good this morning. My weight crept up this morning - a gain of 1. Darn. I have my first fitness session scheduled for noon today. I am looking forward to this. It will be good to get a program established. This is still priority one.
Priority two is now to get the pages for our Australian trip completed.
Then I can focus on maths and reading.
1:30 PM Life
I am back from my first fitness session with a personal trainer. It went very well. He set up a series of 5 exercises which was classified as a whole body workout. It is a beginning. Each exercise was repeated 12 times and their were 2 reps. There was also a 10 minutes warm-up on a treadmill, and three cooling down exercises. Three of the exercises involved equipment, one involved dumbells (weights, not me), and one was a mat exercise. Nice variety. The weights were adjusted for each exercise.
I didn't work up a sweat, but I didn't want to. This is the first time these muscles have had to work in years. I left feeling satisfied but didn't feel any real effect. However a couple of hours later I could feel a few muscles complaining. Good. I didn't want to overdue it at the start and I seem to be okay now.
Tomorrow I want to do my coulee walk. Rain is forecast. It may make sense to go to the fitness center and use a treadmill for an hour.
8:30 PM Birding
I spent much of the afternoon looking at the photos I took while we were birding in Australia on March 27 - 28. This was very time-consuming as I needed to make some adjustments to the text entries as well as to the Bento database. And then I had to select a few images for display.
