It's the Weekend

Good Morning,

I was wrong about last night's Step Class - I couldn't keep up, but not really because I was so out of shape, I had trouble with the moves/choreography!  He combined 3 different moves and repeated them 4 times, so I had trouble keeping up with that part.  I also increased my weights and it literally burned when I attempted to keep up.  All in all though, it was a great workout - I came home with a red face so I imagine my adreneline was going crazy.

I got up at 6:20am today so I could get to the gym, but I went all in a frenzy.  I opened my bank account online and a double payment of an order came out so I was angry.  I thought going to the gym angry would be a good thing - I'd workout harder.  I was wrong.  My mind was consumed with how I was going to rectify this situation.  I got on the treadmill for 30 mins as opposed to my 25 and I increased the incline to 3 as opposed to 2.  I had my iPod on and it seemed to be going well, but then when I got off the treadmill and started on the other machines, my mind was slipping away to the issue I left home angry about.  I only did 4 machines as opposed to the 6 or so I usually do, plus the ball.  The treadmill was a good workout, but I disappointed myself with not doing the machines the way I normally do them.  The larger lady who usually goes there hasn't been in all week - at least not while I was there.  I'd hate to think she quit.  I don't want to quit.  I see a comfortable summer just around the corner and if I keep up with what I'm doing, I'll be looking forward to wearing my bathing suit and shorts/tank.

I'm not really sure how the weekend is going to play out.  I don't like going to the gym on the weekends because it's full of kids and takes forever to get a treadmill. 

I haven't decided if I'm going to put away the blog for the weekend or not - it sure is a motivator though.  Half the reason I didn't eat those chips the other day was because I knew I'd be coming to the blog and confessing.  Crazy, eh?
