It weird I got up earlier got out the door earlier and made it to the gym earlieer. However I left the gym later than usual. I don't get that. It didn't seem like I took any longer than usual today. There weren't even any machine hogs. Hmmm maybe I was a machine hog. I did step up the weights today so maybe that made it take a little longer. I usually do 13 repetitions on each station. 12 and thirteen were pretty rough.
All the good elipticals were taken this morning so I wasn't able to go for the three-peat. Oh well. I think I may try to run one day a week. the goal is to run 1 mile a week right now. I think that should be attainable. I'm thinking wednesdays would be good to run.

W00t! I did the eliptical again today. I feel good, i can really feel it in my tummy. Between that and the sit ups the old abba dabba's are getting a pretty good workout this week.

It was pretty crowded to day. After I got done with weights I went upstairs to get on an eliptical machine. sadly they were all full. My favorite excercise bike was taken as well. So I thought I would try running. At least now I know that as I can run for a continuous 5 minute period. I ran a total of 7 minutes or .7 of one mile. I don't know if I am going to do that again. At least not for a while.
When I stopped for my coffee this morning they gave me a free little debbie frosted honey bun. I should have read the wrapper before I ate it. 11 points!! oh well I guess I'll just have the water for lunch ;)

Yeee Haww. Got on the scale this morning and was pleased to see 243 looking back at me! I got to the gym late so I only did 20 minutes cardio. I think tomorrow I might give the eliptical another try.

Ok I hope this is from the weights but i picked up another pound. It might also be because I ate a late dinner last night. I will have to be careful what I eat this weekend.

Didn't really feel like doing the full 30 on the bike today. Just didn't feel that great on the bike. I walked a bit extra. Gym was very empty today.

I've got a gripe today. The gym has a set of nine machines that are set up for people who want to do circuit training. The idea being that you go from machine to machine and do ONE set at each. There is a sign posted explaining this and it specifically states that you should not spend more than two minutes at each station. To me this seems like a fairly simple concept. Do your 10-15 reps and move on. That way everyone gets to do their workout with little hassle. Unfortunately there appears to be some undiscovered acting talent at the gym who insist on sitting at the stations looking to be in serious thought as they wait to do a second set of repitions. WTF! This is not rocket science. push the bar up let it down breath through the rep. Don't sit there and calculate the exact resistance using Planck's friggin constant and how to optimize aerobic v anerobic stressors! Also if your not doing the circuit training use one of the 100,000 other machines. It's not like that is the only curl machine in the place. I have no issues with someone doing the occasional grunt while lifting weights that's natural. Your lifting something heavy its OK to say "EERRRRRRRRR". But for Pete's sake don't sit there looking like Rodin's thinker afterwords. Get up and move so the other people can have a turn.
There that feels better

The gym was much less crowded today. I thought the crowds would at least make it to the end of the month. I wasn't that sore today which is nice. I think its because I walked on the treadmill for 10 minutes after the workout yesterday. I did the same today so we'll see how it goes.
I'm not sure I'm happy with having to watch "Coach" instead of Walker. Coach is bad in a bad way, where Walker was bad in a good way. Oh well.

things were a little bit more crowded today. I guess its the new years resolution people. Did the weights and the bike today. It appears that USA is doing a little change-up with their schedule today it was "Coach" Followed by a bad movie with robert townsend.
Oh well back to work!
