Saturday, May 12th, 2001 - Buffing Up

Yesterday I had my first good day at the gym in some time. I haven't been going very frequently, so the past few months have been full of half-assed workouts that made me feel all achey afterwards. Last night was much better. I had worked out two days before, so while I stretched I imagined I could see the results from that last workout. I managed to get through 25 minutes on the precor with less stress than the 20 minutes two days earlier had caused. I even enjoyed lifting weights - watching my form in the mirror, feeling all svelte and buff at the same time. Maybe lifting weights is the key here - you have to watch yourself in the mirror while you do free weights (it's the rule, you know) and it's hard not to notice small changes in your body when you do this. Anyhow, I left the gym feeling pumped and happy about exercise for the first time in months.


I'm trying to update everyday for awhile. Let's see how this works. Tim complained that I'm only doing this to torture him while he has limited access. Heh.


Perhaps I'll fill this entry out later. Right now I'm not feeling very story-telling-ish.

Exercise log:

25 minutes on the precor yesterday, followed by an abbreviated shoulder weight-lifting session and an easier 10-min abs class than what I suffered through on Wednesday.


Writing log:

Bah. Soon.
