So I finally have the computer up and running. I only skipped 2 days in January, both were after I spent an hour shoveling all the ridiculous amounts of snow, so I figured I had 'earned' it. When I attempted to roll out of bed the morning after shoveling 16 inches of heavy snow and my fingernails hurt, I just couldn't do it. I know, that's really bad. I
This month I'm aiming for 60 minutes a day, which is 1680 minutes this month. This means there will be days of 20's and days of 100's. To further strenthen my goals, today I went to the gym and scheduled a personal training session. He's going to give me work outs for my 'on' week. I just hope he's a fit.
While I was there, I only did 45 minutes. I was just really frustrated. I know, I know, excuses, but it really was frustrating. First, all the lockers in the women's room that locked were taken. There were NOT that many people at the gym. Who takes all these lockers? And why don't they fix that? I'd gladly pay for a locker there, my Dad's done it for years, so I didn't have to schlep everything to the gym. But these are 'daily use' lockers. Working on feeling less righteous. It doesn't help my workouts.
So, I went outside and locked my stuff out there. Because of this locker thing, I'm late to the water aerobics class and there are all these old biddies who are just talking as they laze around the pool. I'm trying to get around them, to actually get a workout in, and they had the audacity to frown at me! Go to Starbucks if you just want to chat. Also, the one guy there was getting hit on to beat the band..... I felt like we needed a shuffleboard on the Leo Deck. Julie? Julie?!
The workout totally degenderates to a paddle and I'm ouf of there. I then change and got on the treadmill. I actually jogged for 2 minutes! I'm so proud of myself, although my foot is starting to hurt again*. So the 'closer' comes on and I try to plug in and shut the whole machine down. WTH? I restarted on a different treadmill to find I lost my locker key. I found it at the desk and decided I was outtie.
I wouldn't recover from that comedy of errors. Next time I'll laugh and find a better song to get back on again...... And I'll run 3 minutes! 1680 minutes a month is the goal. I'm at 45/1680
*my workouts got derailed last year because of a nasty case of plantar fasciitis.
