Because I'm hunting for all sorts of paperwork this morning, I'm late to the gym, arriving around 10:45 and not actually working out until after 11 am. Which makes leaving the gym at 1:30 pm not quite so bad. Most people leave because they have to go back to work, or because they'd rather be doing something else. I could actually stay at the gym for several hours keeping myself busy and amused, and not really feeling tired until I get home. By then I'm famished. I drink the absolute last bottle of Ensure High Protein shake I find in the fridge. It has a Best By Date of mid September, but I don't put much stock in those numbers. It tastes fine, and I use it to wash down the fish oil, vitamin D, and calcium citrate that I try to take daily.
Before I left the gym, a young woman came in to fix her hair, and then re-tie her sneakers. But instead of sitting down and crossing her leg, or putting her foot on the bench, she plops her foot on the counter in front of the mirror. This is the counter that contains hair dryers, tissue boxes and hair brushes. It is most assuredly NOT for clod feet. My grandmother would've said, "Where you raised in a barn?!" but I have a different approach. I asked, "Do you wear those shoes outside?", and the girl said a bit sheepishly, "Yes." Whereupon I said, "Then take them off the counter." Good grief, do people really need to be told these things?
I had a decent workout today, but not great. I didn't make 7 miles but I did over 6. I managed two sets of Hammer Grip Pull Ups without hurting myself, or my gall bladder. Yaaaay! Doing pull ups makes me tired enough that I decide to start with Regular Push Ups, and I can only get to rep 75. I did all my sets of Push Ups and Planks, and then DB Lateral Raises superset with DB Reverse Flyes and upped the weight for the last sets. Upped the reps for the very last set. Did a full Mat Stretch, and Pistol Squats. And apparently, put on 3 lbs over the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. The gym scale reads 110 lbs. Okay, probably not a good idea to put on weight before you go on vacation, but since that's not happening until next Saturday, I have a few days to work on this. Of course, I'm working Wednesday and Thursday this week as well. And having lunch with a friend on Friday. But it'll all sort itself out.
