been a while

it feels like forever since i've been on here, even tho it's only been a few days. 

i'm back at it today at the gym.  i'll be heading over there after lunch.  lunch today is cucumber sandwiches because ch's crazy aunt dropped off a huge bag of them.  wtf do you do with that many cukes?

i've decided that it's arms day mondays, chest and back tuesdays, abs wed, legs thursday, cardio friday.  of course this will likely change as things go on.

i'm going to do a full cable day one of these days.  really like using the cable machine.  so many alternatives and options and i love it.

i'm not exactly thrilled with doing cardio today.  actually lately cardio has been a struggle.  i think it's because of the emotional eating i'm doing.   i also over did it last week with running and ran 2 days in a row, which was a no-no.  i could feel my shins quite badly and was limping afterward, due in part to the shoes i was wearing, but also a back to back run isnt necessarily good for me.

i have to get on my bike more often.  what's holding me back right now is not being able to find the key to the damned lock.  i was just in gtf and found a really neat bike lock and should have bought it.  didnt.  really dumb.  ideally i would like to ride the bike to the gym and back before working out, which would be about a 15 min ride each way and approx 10km total.  of course the k's would be longer because i wouldnt be taking the direct route, but would be deeking through and past the golf course and along the river, which adds on a more k's and time.

but yeah, cardio at the gym is boring.  i'd almost rather take a class to get my cardio in because i can see where only having the treadmill, elliptical, or stationary bike is going to get old fast.  it would be good to do some jacks, burpees, and mountain climbers just to change it up, but i'm not exactly comfortable with just dropping and doing it on the spot unless i can find a quiet corner of the gym.

so today is arms, my favourite day.  i've decided that it's the perfect thing to do mondays to get me back into the gym.  i think that if i made mondays legs, i'd never go.
