Fifth and sixth days of fitness

Yesterday I did my usual gym workout -- 45 minutes on the elliptical, followed by crunches and and push-ups.  Today I decided to do something different, so I ran two miles on the track (I got bored before I got completely tired, but I was going at a sub-9-minute pace) and then did a lap of walking lunges while holding an 8-pound weight in each hand.  By that point I was sweating profusely -- the lunges are a lot harder with real weights!  But I thought I needed more cardio so I did 15 minutes on the recumbent bike, and then I called it quits.  So at least it was a little variety from my normal routine.

My weight crept down a bit today -- lowest I've seen since Halloween. :-)
