The peas vines are almost as tall as I am with pink and white flowers. I'm hoping for a good crop of snow peas this year. Because I grow my own, I'm spoiled and can't bear to eat packaged snow peas -- those taste old and stale. We've not been so fortunate with the zucchini. I only see two plants. A friend says the slugs have eaten all her squash, basil and tomatoes. This is the first year we've seen actual shelled snails so I'm not sure what to expect. There are dragonflies flitting everywhere and I'm glad to have them eat as many mosquitoes as they want.
Lately, my vertigo only bothers me at night when I'm laying flat on my bed. But that doesn't mean it's gone. Today I go to the gym feeling disoriented and fuzzy, as if I was still asleep and merely dreaming my routine. It's not a good mindset especially if you're going to move weight over your body or face, as with the Bench Press. I'm very mindful of all my movements today. The gym is cool enough that I don't break a sweat until minute 17 during the 2-mile warm up. I have to adjust my ponytail when I lay down to bench. The room's not spinning, but nothing feels real. I have to be extra cautious. Feeling disassociated from reality gets people into a lot of trouble.
I have my tunes up loud so I can't hear the Zumba instructor screaming from the other side of the big mirrored wall. But I have to count out loud to myself in order to focus. And I can't dawdle either. This week will be abbreviated workouts because my son's school is only 1/2 days. Friday he'll be at the gym with me, but he won't be able to work out. He'll be stuck in the child care room. Hopefully there'll be other kids his age. I get my 3 sets at 115 and do a 20-repper at 95 lbs. Yay! I skip the Inclined Bench Press because I just don't have time, especially if I want to finish with my standard 3 miles. No Tabata or HIIT today.
What's important today are chest, shoulders, biceps, abs and a stretch to get the kinks out after a vaguely inert weekend. Lateral DB Flyes are fine. I do three sets of Inclined DB Reverse Flyes on the Incline Bench Station because there are only flat benches in the DB area now. Then I super set the next three sets with Alternating DB Twisting Curls. I have time for a few Crunches and a set of Pulse Ups before I run back to the cardio platform. After 3 miles, I do a Mat Stretch with Dive Bomber Push Ups but leave out the plank. I keep catching whiffs of cat pee and I'm hoping that's not me. Yuck. Time for a shower. The gym scale reads 112.6 lbs which is still pretty odd for me for a Monday because I'm used to the scale reading heavier. But I'm happy with it. I make it home just in time to wait by the bus stop for 10 minutes in the blazing sun. Tomorrow I'm sure the bus will be earlier. I'm planning to take my son to an afternoon showing of How to Train Your Dragon 2.
