Day 8

Day 8

It's an early night for me tonight. We don't have to go anywhere tonight because it's CO week. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Zane and I got up late so we had an early lunch on our way to drop him off at work. We were on our way to Jimmy John's but passed Serino's Deli on our way and in honor of Paula we went there instead. It was really different inside since I'd been there last. I think I went with Paula right after it had opened 3 or more years ago, so it makes sense that there'd be a lot different. Like there were chairs and tables and pictures on the walls! It was pretty bare last time. I had a veggie sub and baked bbq chips and Zane had a slice of sausage pizza.

We ate fish and pasta for dinner and then went to the gym again. Both of us did intervals on the stairs for 20 minutes. Usually I will do 1:20 at a "2" and then 1:20 at an "8" and repeat it 6 times but today I did my fast interval at a "10" and I was proud of myself. I don't know what the "10" means but it's harder than an "8" at least.

There was once this Biggest Loser episode I saw where the contestants had to climb the stairs up the tallest building in the southern hemisphere, the Sky Tower in Auckland, NZ . It was 1027 steps. It was a challenge for them and it has since become a challenge for me to try "climb the Sky Tower" everytime I am on the stairs at the gym. One floor is 16 steps on the stairmaster I use (I counted) and that is 64 floors. It takes me about 20 minutes, like today I did that many exactly by the time I was done with my intervals. Just thought I'd share, it's kinda neat. It makes my workouts fun when I imagine I am actually in New Zealand climbing up the Sky Tower.

After my workout I bought a Luna bar in the gym cafe and a bottle of water and now, folks, I'm going to bed (semi) early!

32 Days to go!
