Cardio Monday (and I Declare Bonus Cardio Yesterday!)

Today the assignment was:

Cross-Trainer: 50 minutes, all zone 2.


Why so boring, Devon? WHY?!? I assume the answer is some form of: because that's what you need to attain your weight loss goals. And so I do it.

My Stats:

Calories Burned: 597 (HR monitor)/588 (Cross-Trainer)
Total Time: 59:00 (including 4 minute cool-down)
Distance: 6.74 miles
Ending HR: 123


I also have decided that my day yesterday merits an extra cardio session credit. Here is a run-down of my day:

0630-0730: Wake up. Get ready. Eat. Get to gym.
0730-0900: Lifting.
0900-1100: Clean up. Eat. Get to church.
1100-1230: Church.
1230-1300: Eat.
1300-1430: Scrub the bathroom floor (on my hands and knees with bleach), clean the every bleach-able fixture in the bathroom, do the same in the other bathroom, vacuum every room of the house.
1430-1645: Mow the backyard. Weed whack the backyard. Deforest the weedy area by my house with 'weeds' so thick (like 3 inches in diameter!!!) that I had to wrestle with them and my tiny clippers to get them down. Mow the front yard.
1645-1705:Rush to clean up and get to Ryan & Meagan's (late!). And eat.
1705-1900: Participate in a team of 3 to Magic Eraser, wash, rinse, towel dry, Windex and ArmorAll my car and Meagan's truck.
1900+: Eat. Relax. Bed.


If that incredibly productive day doesn't count for cardio, I just don't know what does...

Tomorrow is a REST DAY!!!! Then lifting Wednesday.
