On Friday, I went in a worked out with a substitute trainer since my trainer is on vacation. I got in early anticipating a slow drive in but the roads were clear. I used a new ab machine and also worked out on the abductor and adductor machines.
On Saturday, I went for a “Hot Restorative Yoga” class with a couple of my neighbors (Kaushik and Sangeetha, who are Yoga buffs). It involved a lot of stretching (50% of which I just could not do). The instructor was nice enough to suggest easy steps for people like me who were inflexible. They turn the heat up to 95’F (35’C) and that alone makes you sweat.
I came home and shoveled all the snow of the driveway, sidewalk and walkway. It took about 75 minutes and it was a work-out in itself. In the evening, I did 20 minutes on the Stairmaster.
On Sunday, I watched Seattle lose their final game of the season. I found it difficult to get motivated after the thrashing we got. In the evening, I managed to get on the treadmill and watch the Chargers butcher the Broncos. I had dinner with neighbors mentioned above. It was sweet of them to have cooked a couple of vegetable dishes specially for me. It felt a little awkward imposing on others with my restricted diet.
I have been consuming 1250 to 1350 calories, these 3 days. I just don’t feel hungry enough to have more.
I am glad the snow storm is done (at least for now). The rains are back and Seattle is back to normal! :-)
