The gym report

That whole putting the gym bag in the car technique worked awesome yesterday, meaning I actually went to the gym! Yesterday was biceps & triceps – when I am lifting, my arms look fantastic. If I could lose some fat they would rule. Seriously.

After lifting I did 30 minutes on the treadmill. There was no good show on, and I was really flagging there at the 20 minute mark. But then the “Rocky” theme came on the trusty MP3 player, followed by the theme from “Blade II”. Let’s just say the final 2 minutes was me running up a 10% grade at 5 mph. I felt amazing! I can’t believe I am running on a treadmill. The same girl that last winter was so proud of the fact that I ran outside all winter!?!? But I tell ya, when I wake up its like 16 degrees and I’m like “no way.” We’ll see how long it lasts – the first day I bail I will make myself run in the neighborhood, which I utterly despise doing in the afternoon. Do ask why. For one, I hate for people to see me – I like to be out there alone. I am a freak.

Dinner was a South Beach frozen whole wheat crust pizza with a big salad on the side. I added a little garlic powder & some red pepper flakes. YUM!

Last night we watched “Serenity”. My husband totally loves the show and was dying to see the movie. This is a show that on paper looks like I should adore it. And I do like a lot of the characters, it just never really clicked with me. Anyway, pretty good movie even if you’ve haven’t watched the show. Tonight’s movie special is “Nightmare Before Christmas.” We’ve been ripping through that Netflix queue, but since it has about 90 movies in it, I think we’re safe for a bit.

I don't like people seeing me when I run outside either! I think that's so hardcore to run outside during winter. Even if it was just for last year :) I also find that I have to get used to my surroundings before I can feel confident enough to run in a neighborhood.. Goes right along with not wanting people to see me!
