let's just get this statement out of the way...
So how about this seeming nonsense that actually turned out not to be nonsense: I woke up at 4:30 am today- to go to the gym before work. Let me tell ya something- it was one of the best things I have ever ever ever done.
My wonderful friend Jennifer has been doing this for a couple of weeks now and looks to be surviving pretty well.
So this morning, I pushed aside all excuses, braved the cold, chugged some water, and hit up Planet Fitness. I got there about 5:45 am and felt almost aimless as I shoved my bag into a locker and hopped onto the treadmill. Once I got moving though it was the strangest feeling- I had so much energy hit me all at once! I got tired of warming up on the treadmill and jogged steady for 11 minutes until I spotted Jennifer on the elliptical. I joined her for about 10-15 more minutes (I really don't remember) then did some work on a few of the machines. This is where I fail miserably when it comes to going to the gym. I don't count reps, I don't keep track of how much weight I put up or push away or pull back or whatever. I need a plan. I was like a Planet Fitness nomad today. It was bad. I'm going to work on that. Jennifer does well and is great motivation. JENNIFER I WANT TO BE MORE LIKE YOU! :p
I don't know what the different machines are called exactly, or if they all even have specific names, but the ab machines got the best of us this morning I think. I used one that made me feel like my stomach was literally ripping in half. Then, being all rebellious and whatnot, Jennifer and I grabbed a machine in the 12 minute ab circuit while not actually doing the circuit. Whether it was a good idea or not, still unsure. I have never felt like such an airhead as I did trying to figure the machine out (there were even pictures showing what to do)... and then I got to watch Jennifer literally crawl on the floor away from this particular machine after attempting it. We are apparently quite the team. I wish I had videos of that one.
I get that a lot of people feel this way about daily workout talks, but seriously its a decent possibility something similar will happen to me at some point in time. So stay tuned, you never know.
Anywho,
I have so many TV shows to watch. Really. I finally caught up on the last 3 episodes of The Walking Dead, and the 2 new episodes in season 3 of Vikings, but I also really need to start on Banshee- which my boss has literally been nagging me about watching so he has someone to talk to about it. Not to mention Breaking Bad. I am like the most uncool person ever because I STILL HAVE NOT SEEN THAT SHOW. It's tragic I know. I'm getting there. I'm just being really unproductive when it come to TV shows today as I have been re-watching season one of the best crime drama/comedy show ever to be created. Psych. Really, if you've got a few minutes- just watch this video. I'll never get tired of Shawn and Gus. Or pineapples. I want to move to Santa Barbara.
I'm saving the most random thing for last today,
I bought....
a UKULELE!
Don't ask why, we'll just have to see how this goes. I should be getting it in the mail Tuesday.

See, you make our workout sound SO MUCH MORE FUN. Which is was. That machine though, it bested me. No lie. I mean seriously, what does it take to use that thing?? On Ab, I will try it again. I swear I will.
ReplyDeletePS: I don't know how people do it in the evening. I mean, you get all pumped up and fully of energy... then go to bed? No thanks. XD
I used to LOVE Pshyche.. phsy *looks up to see how you spelled it* Psych. It was great. Haven't really caught up on it but I sure need to. It was smart and funny.
GAAAH! I am SOOOOO excited about the Ukulele! I can't wait to hear about this one!
... Hey... hey.. THAT'S ME! <3 And nice Twitter Shout Out. If my twitter was actually related to stuff I talk about, I might try promoting it. But my twitter is just boring madness. And The Voice. Because I am HOOKED on the new season on that one.
