Something new.

Today I ventured out into the unknown. I worked out to one of my roommate's exercise videos, Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease. Trust me, no stripping involved, and I did this in the privacy of my own room. Still, I was surprised, really, to find that I enjoyed the workout, since its purpose was not to use the same old tired crunches and weightlifting that most dvds use to tone up and lose weight. There were new workouts that were actually fun to do. I'm impressed. Most of all, it wasn't trashy, as I kind of expected it to be.

Ok, so yesterday, I did go for a walk in addition to my workout time, but today I did not. For that matter, I did not work out. I did, however, start work at the Ace Garden Center again, where today we stood outside in 30-40 degree weather (and that's on the warm side!) and we potted plants for five hours. Ok, so we were inside the tarped greenhouse, with all the windows and doors shut, but that's still outside...it's just a giant elaborate tarp thrown over support poles. So yeah...cold. My boss did buy us dinner though....pizza....which I know is bad for me, but first of all, it was free, second of all, it was warm, and third of all, I didn't eat that much. :) Ok that's all for tonight. I'm going to try to get to the gym tomorrow morning, but it may end up being tomorrow evening...we'll see how it plays out...morning would be better.

Follow through.

Ok, so I actually did go to the gym this morning, just so you all know. I only got to bike for 35 minutes, but that's better than nothing. I'm hoping to be able to fit in a nice walk later today too...it's a bit chilly though, so I have to remember to bring a coat, otherwise it'll be a very short walk.

Tiredness and excuses...sort of.

Ok, so today Chris and I went on a nice walk, (which by the way I intend to incorporate a walk to somewhere into my daily routine, weather permitting, of course,) and I'm going to count that as my exercise today, even though it wasn't strenuous as my daily exercise should be. See, I figure that I could either stay up longer tonight and go work out, or I could set my alarm(s), and get up in the morning and go work out, so I have a good night's sleep and a reasonably more normal time to start my day. (I usually get up about a half hour before my class begins at 10 am.) In any case, I'm rather tired right now, and my ankle hurts for some odd reason, so I'm hoping a good nights sleep helps that and I"m going to go to the gym before class tomorrow morning. Ok. Goodnight.
