Scheduled to go to the gym with Dan this evening. Plan to do an upper body workout and walk on a different treadmill. Pretty exciting...actually, I hope the gym has a hot tub. I have had trouble with a kink in the left side of my neck off and on for some time now. Letting the jets hit it sounds really good.
May have dim sum with Dan's folks tomorrow for lunch. Dim sum is a type of Chinese dumpling, usually served for brunch on carts brought around to each table. Here is a Yelp link for dim sum in silver Spring, MD. http://www.yelp.com/c/silver-spring-md/dimsum . It may also include spring rolls, shrimp, vegetable dishes - some very tasty. Have to be careful with it, as mentioned in an earlier post. Saturday night we are going back to Belga Cafe on 8th St SE in DC http://www.belgacafe.com/ , this time with some of his work colleagues. I already know they have some good options I can have without setting me back. Sunday night we are getting together with friends we haven't seen in a while and going to Bangkok 54 on Columbia Pike in Arlington, VA. http://www.bangkok54restaurant.com/ So, three caloric minefields to traverse this weekend before Monday weigh in.
11:45 pm.-- Well, didn't go to the gym as planned, but went to the trusty condo workout room and hit the treadmill. Walked 30 minutes, 200c, 1.8 miles, 3.6 mph-- the usual warm up. Jogged 5.25 miles, 1000c, 6.0 mph, 52:30 minutes. Cool down was walk .85 mile, 100c, 15 minutes. Lots of stretch before and after. Listened to my body. Wanted to jog more, maybe do a 6.3 mile, but the feel of the right calf said "don't push the issue." Trying to think long term, avoid an injury, and remember "slow and steady wins the war." This is definitely a war on fat, and I am going to win.
