Are Sheep Smart?

After raising sheep for over twenty years I can tell you that sheep will figure out just about anything involving feed. But they will also eat until they die (Enterotoxemia). Also, rams are good buddies until it comes time to compete for the ladies.

Ab Quest 2011: Day Four

Yesterday was a rest day and that was a good thing. My sinuses have been wreaking havoc all winter so far, and yesterday was one of the rougher days. Plus, my legs were (and still are) so sore from lifting on Tuesday that it’s hard to even walk, much get into and out of a chair.

This morning’s treadmill session was pretty good. I am the owner of a heart rate monitor now. I’m not sure how much help it’s going to be, but it’s fun to play with and keeps me distracted while running. Being distracted is the key for me to have a good run. As long as I’m not thinking about it and can go further and harder.

Going to try and head to the gym a bit earlier to avoid the noon crowd. I’m curious to see how long the crowd lasts before they break their new year’s resolutions. Hopefully most of them will stick with it.

I’m following the meal plans pretty well. Made an adjustment last night because it was late when I got home, but still stayed within my allowed range.
