20' and 25' Precor elliptical, level 12, incline 15. Both of our trainers have said that cardiovascular exertion longer than 20' at a stretch (or maybe 30') means the body burns lean tissue. That makes no damn sense to me whatsoever. Lean tissue is protein; fat is energy. However, it's either longer exertions than I should do or--just maybe--the fact that I haven't been restraining myself chocolate-wise because I seem to be going in reverse. Then

A few attempts at a Cybex fly machine, but I couldn't find the right weight. Either it was too light and the flying was nearly literal or too heavy and I couldn't budge it.
Or, holy shit it's March.
When did that happen? I have the other half of the front garden to plan and order pronto. And I have to clean out the south half, to get the leaves out and cut down last year's growth. Some stuff, the low-growing penstemon and erodium, is already green. I'm debating using the ugly mulch from last year's TreeCycle under the cherry tree or planting squash there. Neither would combat the cherry shoots and the squash might give a ladder to the bindweed and the mulch would make the shoots harder to clip.
I finished the windows in the sunroom, took up the dropcloth, and put the cookbookcase back in there. I still have to scrape the windows but that's easily swept up, and the cookbookcase had to leave the living room because our new furniture arrives tomorrow. The terrible thing about a built-in breakfast nook? We have to build it in, meaning, we have to mar the floors. With nails.
I also turned the compost. This year I am going to get a second bin or maybe two and I must, somewhere, find a sifting screeen. I love that no eggshell survives a month but that the broccoli trunk I didn't chop up or surround with high-nitrogen matter is still intact five months later. But I need a screen to separate the wheat from the chaff, as it were.
