Here's to wearing orange

I had a pretty good week. I tried really hard to keep the sodium to a more appropriate level. That is not easy for me. I yike my salty snacks.

For part of my homework this week, Jen had me go on two hour-long walks. I ended up doing three, one in lieu of water aerobics. Then on Thursday night I did a circuit on the bike and AMT.

Tuesday after work, I walked the Sakahta trail from Lime Valley to HWY 22. The leaves were gorgeous, but I barely got back to my car before dark. And that was before the time change. Yesterday was very nice and I had planned on walking the red jacket trail. When I got up to the area, I decided to take a left instead and hike Rasmussen Woods. It was beautiful. I hesitated a bit at the head of the trail because the sign said that there was a controlled hunt in process. Huh? I wasn't really sure if I was supposed to go in, but there was no, like chain or anything across the entrance and I was wearing orange, so I went in. Deer's don't wear orange, right? It was sort of unsettling. There were signs posted all along the trail to stay on the wood-chipped trail, which I did. I will say that I kicked it up a notch to get outta there before I got an arrow in the eye.

Today Jen and I did an interval workout on the AMT's with some squats, planks, wall sits, plank ups, push ups, crunches, reverse crunches, hamstring rolls, calf raises and I can't remember all what else in between sets. It sucked!

The good news is I lost another pound this week, so that is something to celebrate. This weekend I have a fun girls weekend planned, so I'm sure there will be lots of food and wine involved. I hope I can do at least as well as I did over my Winona weekend. Hopefully even better.

Until then, I'll be wearing orange.
