It's neat that someone actually had a peek inside my log.

Etana, the spreadsheet is something I'm working on myself in Excel. I "think" I have my formulas right. I keep tweaking it as I go, thinking of new things I might want to track as I read more of Leigh's work.

Juleske, the neck is definitely an issue and will continue to be one. I keep telling myself NO WEIGHTS, yet I have a strong desire to do them. Plus, it feels good at the time, just horrible after.

The problem isn't only the degenerative issues of my neck, it's that my traps fire the moment I do anything related to the upper body. When I do activity during the day, I often touch my traps and tell myself to relax them.

I did do a lot of physical therapy to work on that, but its difficult.

I plan on starting to go back for regular massage therapy as I think it is most effective, just most expensive also. I am trying to learn self-massage techniques and such.

It's so darn hot outside that I decided to hit the ArcTrainer at the gym. I did a good 60 minute workout on it, starting with a CardioCoach workout (number 3) and then I continued on with easier cardio to finish up the 60 min.

My gym is full of beautiful buff babes working out in the morning. I will admit the twinge of jealousy over their youth, muscles, and tight skin. Heck, I'm only 46, but I have a lot of fat to lose.

But they are fun to watch, and the trainers are busy with their trainees, and the whole thing just makes me want to push some weights.

I forced my feet to walk out the door instead.

Later today I will try some easy exercises with my bands, my 5 lb DBs, and my stability ball.

I'm thinking I will see a 12 lb drop for June. That's an awesome start.
