Week 2 - Day 2

I went to the gym at 9:30 last night. I the gym closed at 11, which would have given me plenty of time. It did not. It closed at 10. I rushed through my workout, thinking that I would do cardio at the gym when I got back to the apartment. It was a shoulder workout, and all through it I felt really good. I went pretty fast, but I added weight, so that's good. I felt like I was awesome.

Then I left. And I hacked up a lung while standing next to my car. I gagged. I threw up a little. I peed a little. It was scary. Also, my back tensed up almost immediately after I did the hyper-extensions, so I bet I'll be feeling that later.

I am unsure as to whether or not I did an effective workout. It all felt too easy. Was I over confident? Was I doing the exercises wrong? Did I somehow over do it? No idea.

Now, why did I go to the gym so late?

I spent my morning at a pumpkin patch with That Sprout who couldn't have cared less that I was there. This was annoying as I could have been at the gym or working on my book in a week. But no. I was sitting on some hay in a wagon all by myself while That Sprout was glued to her teacher. I'm not bitter . . .

Some thoughts:

• There are not enough hours in the day. I have too much to do and with this child only in school 3 hours a day, not enough time to do it. :-(
• I feel like my hips look less wide. Could be my imagination, but that means I am feeling better about myself, right?
• I am going to do the bottle of lotion challenge, focusing on my arms.
• I have been so hungry lately, but I don't want to eat. Should I be worried?
• Weights are a lot more fun now that I have figured out how to use the I-pod while working out.
