Great Day & Crowded Gym

Whew...Finally....a day where I felt in control of my choices all day long! I'm about to go to bed feeling proud and victorious! I need to remember this feeling so I can do it once again day after day after day. I went to work with my lunch bag full of healthy food and pre-planned my day. I was a little bummed I didn't get to meet with my favorite trainer after work, but I got over it and went straight to the gym and kicked my own butt for about 90 minutes!

Speaking of the gym...man, it was packed! I'm sure a lot of you are seeing this at your gym as well. I walked in temporarily forgetting it the New Year. I expected to see all the regulars and instead I was faced with loads of strangers. The normally easy to get to cardio equipment was packed. I had to climb over guys and dumbells to get to the weight rack. Thankfully I've been picking up lots of alternative exercises lately and was able to get through the workout without much inconvenience when the weights or machines I wanted were taken. I had mixed emotions with the crowd. Part of me just wanted my usual, partially empty gym back. The other part of me wanted to root everyone on and encourage them to keep it up. Realistically I know that by March I won't see most of those people again.

Well, I could do without the little teeny-boppers who were hanging around the ab machine with their shirts hiked up, over-tanned abs showing along with the sexy little hip tattoos, flirting away with a couple of the young muscle-heads. Oh well. Something tells me I won't be seeing them for long.

Until next time....goodnight blog world! I hope you are all going to bed proud of yourselves!
