Dragging My Butt
I went to the gym today-first time in AGES…and I was revved up to go-there was no excuse to be made except for the fact that I got out of bed late and was lazy! HOWEVER, I got in my clothes, brought my teaching outfit with me and that was it. When I walked in the gym, it felt good to be back even though I didn’t recognize any of the staff members…that place is always hiring people-hmmm…I went to the change room to put my stuff in a locker-when I pulled out my lock, it was jammed…it is one of the dial locks with the numbers. So I tried and tried and TRIED but nothing worked…I wonder what happened to it in my time off? I just put the lock itself on the locker and it ALMOST looked like it was closed-but I need to fix that in case someone steals something.
I did a little stretch and got some magazines and then sat on the bike…after 10 minutes I was already tired..my legs were sore. It FELT like I was on there for about 20 minutes but how depressing to see the 10 minute mark. Inside my head I wanted to stop and do something else…that is how out of shape I am! I just kept going and did a good 26 minute ride and was sweating…yikes!! I know I have to slowly work on myself to get back up to 45 minutes again!
It was then time to leave the gym cause I had to go to work…I will be back there tomorrow with the bike and the circuit…it is good to be back on the equipment and get some stress relief too…even though my neck is REALLY sore now, I am still managing.
Oh and the food thing went MUCH better today..I had a yogurt before working out-then snacked on carrots, and peas, and then had a sandwhich. When I got off work, I snacked on my trail mix and more carrots and peas…got home…had a small amount of chili (it was too spicy to eat entirely) and of COURSE, treated myself to a few cookies…yeah, I said I would stop that, but since I drank almost 5 glasses of water,I thought I did good!!
So tomorrow will be more of the same thing…and this week more of the same thing as well-it is nice to go back to a place that I actually LIKED going to
