ChrisComedy's Journal, 21 July 2014

Went rowing last night. I was originally going to row for a half hour but wound up rowing commando for 58 minutes on lowest resistance while watching an action-packed episode of "Longmire" and the late local news. No problems with soreness or blisters. My running shorts are in limbo in the carrier zone.

Got my sleep on while waking several times during the night. Nine hours with dreaming. My calves are mildly sore. Body fat 30.8 (mildly dehydrated).

Fifteen minutes of stretching in bed. Twenty minutes of leg exercises with ankle weights on the mat, 20 minutes of leg exercises with ankle weights on the chair, 30 minutes of wall slides (planks for your legs), gas pedals, and various other leg exercises. Used the yoga block for the first time. Forty-five minutes with the whole body dumbbell program: used the eight pounders on the Romanian dead lift and they were too light so I have moved up to ten-pounders. My form on the overhead triceps extension was pretty poor.

I continue to be taken aback by how much sodium prepared foods have. Amy's Soups Thai Coconut has 1180 mg, 50 percent of your recommended intake. I hope I sweat it out. Tried to nap while listening to a podcast but apparently all that sleep last night sufficed.

After years of procrastinating, finally ordered a carbon monoxide monitor on sale for $16. I have a gas water heater, oven, and stove so it seemed the thing to do. Bagged my semi-working DVD writer and netbook and left it in the hall for pickup tonight by someone on FreeCycle. The war on clutter continues. Next step is to get rid of my ancient Dell Latitude laptop.

It's good that you are watching sodium. Because I want to lose weight, my pedometer heart monitor armband recommends no more than 1500 mg sodium per day. If you want to lose fat, I guess your sodium can be higher.

Prepared foods are loaded with sodium, even the lower salt ones because they compare to the originals. Make your own.

I am glad things are going good for you. I do have to tell you, I couldn't help but to think of you today while I was at the gym on the rowing machine. All I could do was grin, I hope things are improving there as well. Good luck on the sodium.

SherrieC, what kind of rowing machine does the gym have? Concept 2 seems to be the big name - too rich for my blood. What kind of rowing workout do you do?
