Keeping it up.

I've been back to the gym since the last post. I went Sunday afternoon, and I'm leaving for the gym as soon as I finish this post. My goal is to make it at least every other day, since I don't have the school commitment right now. I work today at 2, but I don't work at all tomorrow, so I'll probably do two days in a row.

The next thing to tackle is my eating habits. Finals week and the few weeks prior were definite off weeks. I ate a lot of take out, pizza, and other crap. Now, I have time to cook for myself, for the most part, and I am trying to improve what I eat. Tonight I'll probably eat at Mr. Smiths cafe, since it's attached to my job, and I work until 8. However, I always try to get something healthy there, when I eat there.

Ok, off to work out.

I guess the gym membership does get used...

I went to the gym tonight, and decided to bike for awhile. I set the timer to 40 minutes, and then got buried in my book. I kept feeling like I was going really slow, so I kept pushing myself a bit faster. Well, turns out I couldn't have been going too slow...I did 9.1 miles in 40 minutes. Definitely stretched afterwards. Then I decided to do a couple reps on different machines, mainly upper body. I figured out how to use the machines I didn't want to try in front of other people...had the gym to myself after the first half hour. Then, after doing around 90 crunches on my own, I discovered this ab machine, and I lost count on how many crunches I did on there. I'd do thirty, then wait a bit, then do thirty more, etc. After awhile, I deemed it time to quit, so I stretched a bit more and headed home. Good workout.

Like the new template? I know it's a bit bright, but as Chris said, this isn't my main blog anyway...

Ok, so for an update. I'm working in the garden center in Vermillion again, which is definitely a good workout. I usually work 7-10 hour shifts, with one half hour break for lunch/dinner. I'm on my feet for most of that time, which isn't so bad, and it's usually nice out, which is great. When I get home, however, I"m usually so exhausted I don't work out. Because of this, I have decided I'm going to try and get up to work out. I know, I've done this before, and never stuck to it, but I usually don't start work until one in the afternoon, and then work till eight. So, I could reasonably get up and work out in the morning and get some things done then, instead of sleeping till 11, like I have been the past couple times. In my defense, I did need some recoup time after finals week. I am now well recovered though, and need to get in gear.

I think that's all for now. Hop over to my main blog for more details on my random life.
