CarbKiller: Adventures in GymHood

I’ve been working out all week long. I’ve been at the gym nightly from anywhere from 20 minutes on my slacker day to almost 90 minutes some nights. 

And every night has its oddities. 

Monday night I only lasted 20 minutes because I’d gone to the little gym and they close that at 11pm. That was actually okay because after spending 3 days on my butt in seminars and on a daily 2 hour commute to and from the conference venue while eating fast food crap that was really all I could handle.

Tuesday night- I talked on the phone for the entire hour I was on machines. 30 mins on the treadmill and 30 mins on a bike. I wasn’t running but my heart rate was up and it was a good distraction. I definitely felt better then I did over the weekend.

Wednesday night: I spent an hour on various machines and glared at the ab machines becuase I KNOW I need to go use them. Badly, instead I’ve been hiding behind cardio.

Thursday night: I ended up on a bike next to a guy who was a DEAD RINGER for Chuck Norris’s brother. I’m not usually one of those people who asks strangers intrusive questions but I had to actually force myself NOT to ask him. The fact that I got a leg cramp probably saved him.

Tonight: I discovered that gyms really rely on people to have social lives on Friday because half the machines in my gigantic gym were being repaired by men with plummer’s buttcrack. I’m blogging at nearly midnight my time so that pretty much summarizes how my social life was this weekend.

Oh and to add insult to injury I had major sportsbra fail (my first in a LOONG time). I was fine on the recumbent bike for an hour (I got distracted watching the Laker game), then decided to get on the elliptical and literally had to cross my arms becuase there was that much action going on. That lasted about 10 minutes before I couldn’t take it anymore. Back on the bike for another 20 and then I was out.

I know HZ is fighting hard to get back into the swing of working out.

So how are all of you doing?
