I went down to the exercise room at 11:30, threw some laundry in (same floor) and worked out for the 30 min wash cycle. Yea me! Ok, well I'm not too excited about it but I guess I'm glad it's over. When I walked in there were three people working out. An old lady probably pushing 70, a younger thinner blonde girl, and a woman who looked like she had no idea how to work a machine so she stuck to weights and sit ups - she was 50'sish. Two of them were on the only two working treadmills so I had to start with the elliptical bike. I am a fan of the elliptical bike I must say. A little more entertaining than a treadmill I suppose. I took two 30 sec water breaks and then when the clock struck twelve I was out of there like my Cinderella coach was going to turn back into a pumpkin (though i kept my old pair of new balance on). I threw the wash in the dryer and bolted upstairs for more water and relaxation! And to blog this. Maybe blogging about it will motivate me to keep it up.

I just wish I knew how some people (you know THOSE people) enjoy exercising. I can't stand it. Not that it's boring, it's just strenuous. I never really feel 'good' as they say you should after it. And when I used to exercise regularly I don't remember getting better sleep as they say as well. Plus I'm still sore by the time it's the day to go back to the gym. (I'm going for every other day) I guess it's all for the internal health of your body. Don't get me wrong - I like hiking when I'm in Phoenix with my aunt. And I wish I had a bike to traipse around Chicago on in the summer (maybe soon - birthday coming up!) I just don't like working out in front of people - men or women. I don't like sweating from working out. (Sweating from the sun on a beach is much better). And to top it off - I don't have cute work out clothes either! I only have one sport bra too, so I must wash it after every use. I guess that's just an excuse, I can go out and buy another one. But why spend money on an extra sport bra when I could buy food which I enjoy more???
