Getting Things Done...

I'm not sure why but either time runs faster or it takes me a lot longer to get things done. So I'm going to be quick with today's post. I didn't go to the gym yesterday as I had too many errands to deal with. Today I did my usual 2 cardio session, moved some iron, did some body weight exercises, and stretched. I find out today, when my son gets home from school, that I'm one of the chaperone's for tomorrow's school trip to release fingerling trout. Cool!

My new Meister gloves showed up yesterday so I wore them to work out. They're not as padded as I'd like, not as padded as the old leather FlexSport gloves. But they fit better than the Weider gloves although I tend to keep the gloves unlatched because I don't like it too tight across the back of my hand. The gloves are very grippy, and maybe they helped with my pull ups. But I won't lie: I could barely get my nose past the bar for the last two reps of each set. On the other hand, I did get 30 reps. Yaaay! I'm still waiting for the other gloves (Hot GYM) to show up. Maybe they'll be even better?

The bewildered old man wasn't at the gym today. I don't understand people who wear leather weight belts that serve no purpose other than to maybe hold up their gym shorts. There are a few obese men who wear those thick nylon belts with suspender straps that are usually reserved for Home Depot employees to prevent hernias. They were them while walking on the treadmill, because, I guess they lack any sort of abdominal muscles to keep themselves from flopping all over the place? Creepy PJ Pants has been putting time in on the treadmill although I still don't think he knows what he's doing at the lat pull down machine. I just wish he'd stop looking over his shoulder to see if I'm still pedaling on the elliptical. Yes, I've noticed that he's lost weight, but that's not a reason for me to make conversation with him, or anyone.

I have favorite people that I like to watch (like Maroon, Anime Hair). They're not the ones deep in conversation. They don't necessarily have great bods, although that helps, but they focus on what's important: the work.
