Day 33

So I skipped a few days of blogging! It's ok though because I haven't skipped working out, except on my off day (Sunday). Thats right, I finally got another day off. After 2 weeks straight, it was definitely nice. So part of the reason I hadn't been blogging is because I was hanging out with one of my old friends McChord. I've known him since I first got there in March 2004. He was out here for a few weeks, so we hung out. It was really nice to have a familiar face around. But he left the other day, so its back to conversing with the internet. Ha!

I have been doing my 6 day a week schedule, working out 2 muscle groups a day and alternating between the 1 hour cardio and 30 minute interval routines, with a little bit of abs every day, as well as pushups and pullups. I still suck at pull ups.

Today I worked my shoulders and abs, and then 1 did 30 minutes on the treadmill, followed by 15 minutes elliptical, finished off with 15 minutes of rowing. I'm liking the rowing machine. Its something different and a cool way to finish off my set. Anyhow, I was supposed to meet with my trainer today at 10 if nobody showed up for yoga class. I didn't want to start at 11 today because that would be a bit late for me. I thought yoga was at 9, so I showed up at 8 to at least get my hour of cardio out of the way, so I could get to bed at a decent time. Well, since it started at 10, I just went through my routine. Then there were enough people for the yoga class, so my plan worked out well. Since I was there I decided that I would try yoga. I figured it would be a nice way to relax after my workout...do some nice stretching and whatnot...Yoga kicked my ass. After working my biceps and chest yesterday, followed by shoulders and abs today, my upper body was worked. The downward facing dog movement was so difficult today. My arms were shaking, and I was dripping sweat. Holy crap. Yoga was a lot tougher than I thought, but I know it will help strengthen my core muscles. I would like to do it more. I know that Christine is doing that and Pilates, so I would like to be able to do that with her when we are back together again.

Yesterday I saw the Social Network. I don't get what all the hype was about. It was kinda interesting, but really not that impressive. Ok, I'm exhausted. To bed with me!
