I just came back from the gym and realized I am in worse shape than I thought. I was so winded. Plus, the guy I've been oogling who worked at the gym seems to have either been let go or transferred. Where am I supposed to get my eye candy motivation from now ( Read more... )

I've finally felt healthy enough to go to the gym today. All I did was 30 minutes of cardio, but considering I've done nothing for three weeks, that's as good a place to start as any. This still doesn't mean I feel 100%. But, I feel a hell of a lot better than I have the past week. I can see the end of the tunnel for this horrible summer flu ( Read more... )

I am currently basking in the glow of victory against biquet in Word Twist on Facebook. I so rarely beat him. Otherwise, I wouldn't be making such an obnoxious post. I probably win maybe once every ten days. And, we probably play one game per day. Games and chat are probably the only thing I really get out of Facebook. I'm sure there are other ( Read more... )

It's amazing how just one day after working out again, I am super motivated. That SARS/Bird Flu I got at the end of the last month totally put me out of my rhythm. I have been going to the gym sporadically since I recovered. However, I'd only go in and do 20-30 minutes of cardio. Today, I actually did some muscle training. I'm not sure I'll be ( Read more... )

I am very much a creature of habit. For some reason, I always have these instances where I am going to the gym routinely and making great progress. Then, a bug catches up to me and the illness disrupts everything. Of course, I lose a little weight from hardly eating anything during the time of illness. Then, I binge on ice cream, pizza and ( Read more... )

I think I've put on about five pounds in the past few months. Not, the good muscle kind, but the bad fat kind. I've been so lazy lately. It's a miracle if I can drag myself to the gym more than three times a week. I'm also wondering if I'm doing something wrong with my stretching since my legs and hips have been so sore after running. Maybe, ( Read more... )

Today has been a glorious day. The heat finally went away. It's going to return tomorrow, sadly. But, today was just beautiful ( Read more... )

I have been eating so incredibly poorly lately. It always seems to coincide with not exercising as much as I should. Bad Brian. I'm sure I've put on a few pounds. It hasn't truly bothered me all that much. What's bothered me more is losing a little muscle tone. Unfortunately, the reason I really haven't been working out is because of my damn ( Read more... )

bartok may have been right about my latest plan to have actual real life friends. I just got back from what could laughably be described as jogging. It sure was fun to have a wretched pain in my gut. Or, for my left knee to feel like it was twisted in knots. And, this happened in all of 10 minutes! I guess I need to go back to the drawing board. Or ( Read more... )

How many times have I written in this journal how much I despise running? It's so many I've lost count. Then, why do I have this insane idea to join a running club? Is it only because I want to do a mud run and you need a team of runners? Or, is it because I want to actually have friends? The last statement also contradicts most of my actions ( Read more... )
