We didn’t do the morning show run yesterday because the weather was kind of crappy. So last night I hit the gym all by myself. I don’t know if I’m better off alone or in a group. I like being able to keep my own pace, but I also can respect peer pressure and the willingness to push myself to keep up with the rest. I don’t know which works better, but either way I guess I’m good as long as I’m doing something.

Yesterday was upper body. I have to be careful when I work my arms because they tend to get bigger before they start to look toned. I could work my arms all day long, but then they get bigger like a boy instead of toned like a girls arms should. I’m told to use less weight…if I use any less weight than I do I feel nothing but boredom. I won’t even bother driving to the gym if I get bored, so there’s got to be some kind of happy balance.

I made the mistake of laying down on my couch yesterday and, like I wrote about yesterday, could not make myself get up. I didn’t cover up and I can’t even remember if I had a pillow under my head. But I slept so good. I finally woke up when I realized that I hadn’t bleached my bathroom or dusted in like a week and that it needed to be done. So I got up and cleaned. Keith has it so easy…all he has to do in our apartment is take out the trash. It’s better that way. Believe me. I am so completely anal about certain things that we would fight every time he would even attempt to clean I’m sure I would find some fault in it and give him hell. And it gives me a chance to listen to my cleaning CD, so it works.
