Today's rest day consisted of getting prepped for the hurricane by pulling in/securing all the outside stuff, doing laundry, cooking some perishable food up from the refrigerator/freezer, digging out the flashlights, charging batteries, etc. Also took a field trip out to survey the pre-storm/early storm areas...tides were high, and there was already some minor flooding. Winds were pretty steady whipping up the waves...I was kind of tempted to grab the kayak and go play in some waves, but, I didn't. Also stopped off at Dicks Sporting Goods to look at the camping gear, just to see if there was any camping item that we could add to the inventory for the next couple days. Apparently the media says I can expect to lose power from anywhere between 1 day and fifteen years.
While at Dicks, looked at the Bowflex Select Tech 552 dumb bells, the ones where you can just turn a dial to get a different weight. Not a bad system. A little bulky, but I think it would be workable. Might pick up a set at some point in the future. For now, will keep using the plate weights and dumb bell bars, pausing the dvd and changing out the weights as needed.
I closed out the day by playing some ice hockey. First game of the season for my team. Ultimately we lost, but I did manage to net a goal and an assist in the loss tonight. Got a good workout, and noticed some more leg strength and endurance improvements. Definitely a good workout.
And, one final remark - I saw 229 on the scale tonight after workout. So post workout numbers are usually lower, but it's been forever since I've seen a number below 230 on the scale. It's not my official weigh in (saving that for 30-day mark), I'll take the bit of motivation.
Fighting Gravity.
