Week 1 - Day 3

I saw the trainer again yesterday, and I feel like I approached the situation with an improved attitude. I also ran farther than I have yet (0.36 @ 4.0. mph) so maybe that contributed to my mood. I was also very interested in being efficient as That Sprout was in the daycare at the gym and I didn't want to leave her there for too long. She cried when I left. Little did I know that she would cry when I came to take her home too. Transitions are not her strong suit.

During my workout, I learned that hyper-extensions seem easy to begin with, but by the end, they are no joke. I did not want to cry at all, so that's good. I also have a very hard time making eye contact with my trainer. This is similar to my relationship with certain other women in my life. I wonder if a male trainer would have been better? I guess having female forces me to work on my woman hating though.

I didn't do any cardio because after the hyper-extensions I could not. I was done. Trainer said that I only had to do it one more time this week, so I have a few more days to knock it out.

Late in the afternoon I had something of a carb binge. That Sprout finally mustered up and appetite and she wanted pancakes. I had more than one. Then I decided that I was going to try making star shaped French Toast. And then I ate all of that too. I refuse to be too upset by all this though because I did not eat dinner. I choose to believe that the calories worked out.

Now, for something that I have been thinking about a lot as of late: I need a good playlist for my cardio. Here is what I have been considering:

• Nine Inch Nails - Head Like a Hole
• Matchbox 20 - How Far We've Come
• Backstreet Boys - Larger than Life
• Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta
• Kid Rock - Bawitdaba
• Duran Duran - Rio
• Motion City Soundtrack - Everything is Alright
• My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
• Duran Duran - Planet Earth
• My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay (I Promise)
• Nelly - Batter Up
