Another week, another update!

Let's see, I met with the trainer last Saturday (the 19th) and set me up on a circuit program - a series of nine Nautilus machines to work different muscle groups. He also said I should hit the gym three times per week. Well, I'm getting there a bit more often than that - been every day except this past Thursday and Friday when I was in Cleveland. I'm alternating strength training (the "circuit") with cardio training (life cycle)... at least I had been. Yesterday, I did the circuit plus 45 minutes of cycling and today I did the circuit twice plus 30 minutes of cycling. Tomorrow will be a rest day because I have an appointment in Crownsville (near Annapolis) and won't be able to get to the gym before they close.

Oh, and my visit to the endodontist resulted in him actually doing the root canal - I thought he'd only be determining whether or not I needed one (or rather, another one - he performed the procedure on a tooth that has already been root canal'd; basically, just cleaned it out and repacked it). I go in Tuesday morning for the follow up and then see my dentist on the 19th of Feb for the crown (plus some other work). That's the same week as my endoscopy so at least it's convenient with the medication stopping (I have to halt the aspirin and the Plavix for 5+ days prior to either procedure).

Guess that's it for this week. Have yet to make my appointment with the cardiologist but I figure that will wait until after the endoscopy so I can report the results to her. (However, I may need to chat with her prior to that to determine what other, if any, meds I need to be cautious of.)
