Slacker Me

It's been too long since I've written. Ugh. Yesterday one of the guys at work asked me if I was still working on getting in shape for the marathon and it came to me. Ya, it would be ubber cool to go to China, but getting in shape has become more for me rather than for any marathon.

On Thursday I stopped at a different Walmart than the on I usually go to (I was on that side of town). That store had cute work out pants & capri's in MY size! Kick ass! Spent more than I planned on, but now I don't have to do laundry every freaking day WOOO HOOO!

Hopped on the elliptical for 15 minutes today. Deb did 20 and at a faster rate lol. The time spent on that tho felt so much better than equal time that I've spent on the treadmill. Downed my entire water bottle (1 Litre) and had to get a refill after 10 min on. Drank another 1/2 of it during the next 5 minutes lol. Peeing clear again. Have I ever told you how much I hate sweating? Blech. Ran out of time to hit the pool Deb needed me to help w/ her two year old this afternoon. Don't you just love disjointed posts lol.

Solo

After dropping Kira off at school this morning I ran a few errands and then went to the gym all by myself. Hit the treadmill for a bit and then the elliptical. It was so freaking weird to try that sucker out for the first time! After that I went to the weight room to work on my arms. Ya, lets just say that my arms are WIMPS! I used 3 different machines with 5 reps of 10 on each. one for triceps & biceps, one for shoulders & triceps, and the last one for the upper back. My poor shoulders are all achy now. My legs are sore too, but since I've been walking for some time now I'm kind of used to that feeling.

Deb and I are supposed to get together tomorrow morning to work out. We shall see if she actually does this time. Originally she was going to work out after work tonight. Instead she went to her in-laws. Yes, I am well aware that she is in much better starting off shape than I am :P. Even If she does come with me tomorrow I know that she wants to work on toning her legs while I'm more interested in building my walking endurance at the moment. She will probably work on the leg presses for a while and I'll go straight to the treadmill for a bit and then we can work the arms together. Even tho it's been only 2 days I'm comfortable enough now to just do it on my own and don't need someone to hold my hand anymore lol.
