This morning I watched Depeche Mode’s “Exciter : Live from Paris” concert while doing the Gazelle thing. Knocked out five more miles so I’m up 25 total and I need to get to 300 by Thanksgiving. I really like Depeche Mode. I think they are my favorite band.

I also did 19 push-ups and 22 sit-ups. They are not as hard on my neck and back as you might think. But I am still pretty weak. In BAsic Training I could do nearly 100 of each in one minute. I really would like to be able to do about 50 in a minute for my test in November. So I am trying to practice them as often as possible. Push-Ups and Sit-Ups are the types of exercises that you only get better at them if you do them often. You don’t need to take “rest days” from doing just one set of push-ups.

I think tomorrow I will do Leslie Sansone’s 2 Mile Walk DVD  followed by the Biggest Loser DVD STrength workout DVD. It automatically has a warm-up and a cool-down and the actual weight part is 20 minutes which is about the most I can do these days before I am in too much discomfort to continue.

This Friday is the Air Force Ball and for those who do not know, the USAF turns 60 this year! It became a seperate service from the Army in 1947. I am happy about the Ball because my wife has a wonderful dress and she will look stunning.

I hope I will be 152 pounds… mind you that my “Blues” were issued to me when I was 140 pounds, so it will still be a tight fit, but at least it won’t be like it was before when I was in the 160s. Talk about sucking in your gut!
