Day 7. Weights only. (5.9788)

Day 7 of 7

...Day 7. Weights Only...

T

he seventh day in a row. My average is now 5.9788--almost 5.98. 23 days until I reach 6.00. One week down, just over three more to go. I have no doubts I can do it.

Today was a weights day and I decided to forgo any cardio. In the last three years my weights days always included cardio to warm-up, but in the last month there have been a handful of days when I haven't followed that routine. Not sure what is the best workout. One day a week without cardio doesn't sound like a bad thing.

Bicep Curls: 7kg x 25 reps x 3 sets

Tricep Presses: 14kg x 25 reps x 3 sets. Up from 9kg. I hadn't done the exercise in a few weeks so I went with a lower weight to avoid injury.

Stomach Crunches: 25 reps x 6 sets

Leg Lunges: 10 reps x 6 sets - Left/Right. I increased the number of sets. Until my injury in July I was doing lots and lots of leg lunges, but stopped because I had to let my feet heal. In the last couple of weeks I have slowly worked leg lunges back into my routine. Just a few reps the first time and bit by bit adding more reps and more sets. My legs and feet feel find.

Plus lots of stretching.

Tomorrow is a swim day--my day off as I like to think of it.

I've done weights three times this week. I think that's sufficient for my needs. I'm not trying to bulk up, simply tone muscles. Hopefully, a lean, toned look.

If Only We Could Agree

Monday, June 11, 2012 ... have you been accused of misspelling a word you know is correct ... S usanne O’Leary wrote an interesting article on her experience with the variations of the English language in different countries. You know the obvious ones like colour with or without a “u” but less obvious ones like travelled versus traveled. Growing up in Sweden she learnt English in school—the UK variation. In publishing her books, she read reviews where she was criticized for improper spelling. False accusations as it turns out. While I write tire and cozy, it’s not incorrect to write tyre or cosy. Same language. Both accepted. Just different. You can read her write-up here along with the numerous comments posted by readers. I found it interesting, but that’s me. As a Canadian I deal with this issue everyday. I feel her pain when she’s criticized for something based on ignorance. No fun. I was told by a boss that “data are” isn’t correct. It should be “data is.” Read...

Day 109: Writing a Novel—The Deep Blue Hold

Sunday, March 6, 2017 Note: Unedited writings from my notebook for this novel. Square bracket items represent added comments. At 18:47 Office ... I barely remembered anything about this story ... H as it really been three months? I guess it has. I put it out of my mind [so much so] that I barely remembered anything about this story. Not even the title. [Unreal!!!!!!] I had the general premise and an ending—enough I thought for a novel. What I lacked was a determination and desire to want to write it. Why bother… I wasn’t enjoying the process and I had no reason to believe the result wouldn’t be anything more than what’s gone before—nothing.

CRA & E-Filing

Tuesday, March 6, 2007 ... Online Tax Services Suspended by CRA ... I received an email press release from the Canada Revenue Agency late on Tuesday stating they were shutting down the computer that processed e-filed personal tax returns. For many tax preparers the announcement means they will have to file paper returns or wait for the system to come back on, but it could be a long wait. Until we can announce a business recovery date, the Agency will provide daily updates to the media on the steps we are taking. On the surface, e-filing a return makes sense because it is more efficient, but at present it only makes sense for simple returns. If you file a return beyond a T4 and an RRSP deduction, you can expect follow-up letters requesting original receipts. For accountants, this hassle means additional time—time that usually can't be recovered. As result, many accountants file paper returns for their benefit. What is required is a system that allows the recei...
