My sister's evangelizing from her swimming high is the reason I was able to join the fitness center/pool (she wanted me to feel like she did after swimming, so out of the blue, she sent me the money to join). Lately, though, she hasn't been working out at all, so after getting "Hell, yeah!" e-mails from me all week, she got her fiance over the Y with her today and signed him up so they could work out together. They spent almost two hours there today, between the treadmill and weights.
Speaking of weights, when I was talking to my dad, he said he had some 3-pound weights I could have, so I'll use those for my reps. Oh, and when I was on the treadmill tonight, I made it a point to get my hands off of the support bars and start pumping them to burn more calories. I still leaned a bit (2 minutes on the bars, 3 off), but it's an improvement!
Allyson, you've been more than patient. Understanding doesn't come into it, because they have no good excuses apparent.
Seriously, Allyson, it's about damn time.
And now on Psych
Cameron Frye! And the younger guy doesn't get the reference.
Double ha.

I am so...I have no idea what my excuse is, but I like to do the machines with my eyes closed. Perhaps not the safest of options, but at least I'm holding on.
Allyson, you have my sympathies. I've dealt with assy landlords/management (the whole a/c thing) and it is just...tiring. It's also fucking ridiculous. I'm STILL supposedly getting a new heating/cooling unit. Promised as of past May or something. Fuckers.
I'm only on page one, but that bodybuilding site is one of those skeevy parts of the internet that is fascinating and repulsive. (no homo)
Allyson, I know that letter was difficult to write (as was the decision to file a complaint), but really, you didn't have any other choice. I've been pretty lucky in that my landlords have all been really responsive to complaints (I was shocked when my current place sent someone over to fix my shower faucet within a matter of a few hours on a Sunday!), but you have to keep on the nonresponsive ones. Sucks, though.

I have to remember to bring in a magazine to read, because trying to watch the TVs they have scattered around in front of the treadmills/bikes/ellipticals just makes me worried I'm going to misstep and stumble on the treadmill, so I keep my eyes focused on the display. This, of course, makes the time crawl.
I can't use a standard scale yet (probably won't be able to until the end of the year), but I think I've probably lost about 25 pounds since January 8th (when I started the diet).
Audio books on my iPod is what makes that boring time bearable. Music's okay, but James Bond with the eyes closed makes time fly.
Puttering around my C drive seeing what space I can reclaim. I really need to borrow Ghost and upgrade the puppy.
There are apps here that I've never heard of and can't imagine a need for. The Kazoo 3D thing comes right off.
I think I need to replace the battery in my Razr phone. It's a year and three months old and it's not holding a charge as well as it once did.
I'm not up for an upgrade until this summer, sadly, else I'd just go ahead and get a new phone. I still like my Razr but I would also prefer it in pink.
