Hump Day

Yesterday I was naughty and skipped my workout, because Junior (from work) and I went out to eat after work.  We sat, relaxed, and talked, and then all of a sudden, 3 hours had passed, and it was just too late.  But I don't feel bad about it because my back and my arms were so very sore (still are today).  It's just one day.  I work hard.

Today I did the stair climber while I people watched the new hot trainer.  35 minutes.  Boom!  Then I felt like I needed more, so I did my hip abductor (outside hips) and adductors (inside of thighs) for multiple sets.  I just feel all gross and jiggly.  I have been off of sweets and that part of my eating has been very good, but my setback is not what I choose to eat, but how much of that item I eat.  Ugg.  It's frustrating, and I want to be better, but it's like I just can't push over this hurdle. 

I've also been using my new watch that has a built in pedometer.  Yesterday, I did about 12,500 steps!  Pretty impressive.  Today was just shy of 10,000.  9,800 or so I think?  It's so crazy.  I am on my feet and going going going all day.  I'm pretty tired of it.  But when it comes to looking for a new job, since I don't have my degree yet, I don't even feel like I am worthy of a better job.  I hope I either find something, or get over that by the time I actually graduate (t minus 53 weeks by the way and thank you very much).  It also has a built in heart rate moniter that seems pretty accurate.  It tells you what your heart rate is, and the percentage of how hard your heart is working.  Very cool.  I read this article about a woman who was logging 20,000 steps a day.  What a walker!

Today's success: Getting to the gym and sweating it out.
Today's setbacks: Overeating and indulging in too many carbohydrates. 

Also, I saw this lady at the gym today who has this fancy hula hoop.  She wasn't just hooping, she was dancing while she was doing it.  And then it pulled apart for easy travel?  It had ridges on the inside.  It was weird and cool, and made me want to get a hula hoop.  On to craigslist...
