Day Eight

See that - it was such a busy day that I didn't even post! Sorry about that - here you go!

Well, today is a day off from C25K (Couch to 5K training) but I still want to get my exercise in, so part of that was going to be my walking around the VES (Visual Effects Society) Career Fair down in Hollywood.. it was very cool, and they had all the big names there, who each brought their Senior Recruiters with them - so for once not only do I know my resume/reel got into the right hands, and not into the trash bin, but they actually spent time with me face to face to learn more about me - priceless! Had some really great talks - and I'll keep you in the loop when something good comes from it! (It will! Positive thinking!)

So I did a couple of loops around the ballroom.. planning out my strategy for the day.. It wasn't as much as I would've liked, but I didn't want to walk up to the recruiters all sweaty and out of breath either :) Great first impressions count!

So in the evening, Tricia and I fired up the Wii with EA's Active and concentrated about 15 minutes on our arms - curls, overhead pushes, fly-outs, all with resistance bands.. then we did some crunches, and some attempted push-ups (haven't done them in a long time, but it certainly let me know where I needed to focus!) She did great!

Of course then Sam took over the tv with the XBOX 360 for some game time, so exercise time was done for the night. I had also gotten in my morning sabbatical with Scrappy Doo... one day soon, maybe this week I'm going to try to jog with him.. we'll see if HE can achieve this - I know I can!

I've decided too that some specific areas I want to work on body-wise are my arms (biceps and forearms especially) and my chest and abs... all could use some trimming and tightening... would love to get some muscle on there.. I know it's there, just have to bring it out..

Tomorrow is Day 1, Week 2 of the Couch to 5K - it's going to adjust our workout - and this next week is going to be 90 sec jogging (!) and 60 sec walking.. onward and upward - will check in tomorrow when it's all done!

Thanks for checking in - hope you had a wonderful day!

-Pittle out!
