In poker, they call this the nuts…

The Nuts. The best hand. Unbeatable.

Thats my week. My attitude is kicking ass and taking names. When an excuse has opportunity, my Will shows the better hand.

My goal for this week is simple: Cardio every day after dropping the kids at school. Today is Thursday and I’m right on track. Not without an obstacle though.

This morning I was tempted to skip and “delay” my workout at my son’s request. It was picture day, and his class was first in line. I stayed to watch him, and after he wanted me to volunteer to do flash cards with his class. He pulled out all the stops: puppy-dog eyes, hugs, kisses and even said “I Love You” in front of his friends. It was a hard decision to make, but with todays work schedule, I had to choose only one — Volunteer or Cardio. Today cardio won, but only because I already volunteered Monday.

Cardio this week is a simple 30 minutes on the elliptical per day. Next week I will kick it up to 45 minutes, and rotate in the 100 Pushups and 200 situps programs.

Todays workout:

30 mins, 465 cals, 2.57 mi.

Time: 30 mins
Distance: 2.57 mi.
Calories: 465 cals

As you can tell, I burned less calories in this session. Rather than pushing myself, I decided to try and keep my heart-rate on target for “fat-loss” according to the computer. My heart rate averaged 135, instead of the usual 150-160.

How are your weekly workouts progressing?
