Another Excercise Week Gone By

Well, well well. The weekend is here (quite literally, as it is almost 1am!), after quite the week of excercise variation!
The stick cardio thing was quite a bit of fun, and I'm sure very effective--at least my upper back hasn't felt this great in a very long time.

I didn't do a thing on Thursday; it seems I pulled a muscle near the side of my knee on Tuesday, and the gym & cardio on Wednesday just aggravated it. I did go to the gym today (well, Friday), but couldn't manage more than 10 mins on the treadmill, after that it started hurting too much. I figure it's better to let it rest now, before it gets really problematic. In that sense, timing could not be better: as I'm having the coil thingie on Monday, I won't be going to the gym or excercise classes for a couple of days after (at least, and hopefully not even that long) so I'd have to take a bit of a break anyway.

I suppose tonight would count for excercise too... Gymgirl and I decided to have a girls' night out, so she came over to our place, we had a couple of drinks and some healthy snacks (carrot sticks and dip, anyone?), and then headed for the bar. Well, it's currently -18C here (!), so it's only natural all the bars we wanted to go to were full. After a nice, needless 20min walk we found a bar with a free table. Gymgirl had decided to go to an excercise class tomorrow morning, so she only stayed for one drink. MrPicky and I were both out, so I decided to text/call him to see if I could join him and his crowd for a drink. God damn loud bars, he didn't hear his phone. I walked to a couple of bars I thought they would be at, but no luck. They've probably decided to go someplace completely different for a change, my luck that is. So I walked back home. It being so cold, it should count for plenty of excercise, right? Right.

So there. That's my excercise week. Bring on the weekend, fireplace and curling up on the couch with a book and a warm drink.
