Busy Day?

Today started like most days recently: the three S's*, get some coffee and watch some world cup soccer while I catch up on work, emails and Facebook. But today I had a quarterly finance committee meeting with the American Red Cross which, including travel, is about a three hour event. Fortunately they serve us lunch, but unfortunately it's pizza. While I have struggled to restrain myself in the past (in part because there's always a lot of extra pizza) today I was good and just had two pieces of a thin crust pizza with a little salad. Good for me!

After a useful meeting, I headed straight to the gym to get my workout in. Today was a big day because it was the first time since my surgery that I've bench pressed using free weights instead of the machine. My concern was if I'd have full range of motion while doing the exercise, so I decided to lower the weight and see what happened. It worked out pretty well, though my concern was well founded. The first set of 10 went ok, but the bar would not come all the way down to my chest comfortably. After another 5 though in the second set, my range started to improve! Good stuff. I'm hopeful that my improvement will continue next trip to the gym.

Finally, after some more emails and work, our condo building had a meeting to discuss improvements that we want to undertake over the coming months.

And now I'm ready for bed! It was a busy day for me, but probably just a normal day for most people.
