The more things change, the more they stay the same

Am trying yet another diet/exercise online program, this time the one offered through Runners' World. Like eDiets & SparkPeople, it offers both meal plans and workout programs. In this case, the meal plans seem simpler and more like the kind of food I would normally buy/eat anyway. The big benefit to this one is the workout program. The exercises are more challenging than what I saw from the other two programs. I did like the food logging features on SparkPeople but in the real world it was a pain in the butt to keep up with it. And the silly point system was not a real incentive for me to participate.

Anyway, trying it out, will see how it goes. To support my weight training efforts, today I bought a simple weight bench and a bunch of new and heavier dumbbells. Set them up right here in my office, so I can easily follow the workout for the day from my computer and not have to go to another room to get it done.

Actually did some obedience training with the dogs for the second day in a row. That's another thing I need to keep up with it, because it makes such a huge difference in the quality of their lives, to say nothing of the possibility that I might actually get a decent performance out of Libby in the obedience ring for a change.

Didn't run today becausee I am still sore from the long one yesterday, but took the girls for a nice hour-long walk around the park. It was cold but sunny.
