Exercise

Well, this morning I whipped out the Body For Life book, and looked over the cardio advice. I used his technique on most of my workout--I spent the first few minutes pedaling and reading. I feel like it was a lot more effort, and the intensity was harder. Good things.

Instead spending my 20 minutes like this:

minute 0-2: level 3

minute 2-4: level 4

minute 4-6: level 5

minute 6-8: level 6

minute 8-14: level 7

minute 14-17: level 6

minute 17-20: level 5

I'll be doing this going forward:

minute 0-2: level 3

minute 3: level 4

minute 4: level 5

minute 5: level 6

minute 6: level 7

minute 7: level 4

minute 8: level 5
minute 9: level 6
minute 10: level 7
minute 11: level 4

minute 12: level 5
minute 13: level 6
minute 14: level 7
minute 15: level 4

minute 16: level 5
minute 17: level 6
minute 18: level 7
minute 19: level 8

minute 20: level 4

I've also been experiencing some triceps soreness, which I finally figured out was from polishing the hood over my stove. Here's what it looked like before, well actually, that part still looks that way. I've only done the one side, and it needs a second round. I ran out of copper polish, so I need to go buy some more. I cannot believe how much work this is/will be! To the left is what the part I've polished looks like. It will be really interesting to see how I get up to that area near the ceiling! I wish I'd done this in November, when we only had 6 hours of daylight. It really gleams and reflects all sorts of light now!

Does anyone have any ideas for what to do over my fridge? I cannot get cabinetry to match (they're from some unknown place in Germany), and I'm hesitant to put something white up there, but it looks hideous as it is. My hubby thinks it's important to "fix" it before we sell the house.
