Nice. :)

You work out this morning?
Day any better overall. I know it isnt over but has it at least cooled down?
 
I had a court appearance this morning so I thought I was going to go to the gym and then come home and prep - when I went to bed last night I was BEAT so I decided I would skip the gym and just get up and prep.

I finally woke up at 7. Court is at 8:30. Needless to say, I was running very late w/little prep time.

Not a good way to start the day and no workout to boot.

GRRRRRR....

It jsut is a day, I am still pissed but that will pass I am hoping...I should go back to selling jewelry I swear.
 
Life was so much easier when I was a carpenter- just me and my tasks and only myself to answer to.
I really enjoyed it. I did not make a lot of money and my body was breaking down but I enjoyed it.
Can you go to the gym after work, get some aggression out?
I am going to bring myself to exhaustion tonight on the treadmill. Wife at grad school until 9 I can tear it up for an hour and no one will care. I wish i could do weights, anger is great with weights.

I love getting my anger out at the gym...I have a work meeting after work (530) and then after that, my husband would have had my daughter for the entire day so the gym is probably out of the question.

I will make it up on saturday and get my rage out that way...:banghead:
 
Geez, long day away from home.

Rip it apart Saturday- have fun with it. I actually find if I use my anger/frustration in a positive spin and truly enjoy being pissed I have the best workouts.
I really think tonight, although just the treadmill, will be very good.
 
People have pretty much left me alone this afternoon. Possibly due to the steam coming out of my ears. I was able to get caught up on my project this afternoon.
So yes. Still not in a great way overall due to how the day started, but yes.

Tg for that...good to see it is getting better...
 
All home, just posted in mine:)

Now begins the art of decompressing...kina hard to do with someone home, but I will do my best...still wish I could have let some of it out at the gym...how did that go for you?
 
Got home today- after fighting I88 home this time- and immediately got on the treadmill. Man did I need today!
Ran 4.68 miles in 45 minutes including a 3 minute warm up and 2 minute cool down. I also had to ratchet it down for 230 in the middle of it all- started to cramp.
One of my long term goals is to run 6 miles in 60 minutes and this effort puts me closer to realizing that.
I ate pretty well tonight. 1 can of sauerkraut is only 55 cal. Goes great with an onion and leftover ham and of course some Tabasco. All this for around 700 cal. So happy- well, as happy as I can get over food anyway.

I most likely am done for the day at around 2500 cal. I burned around 800 on the treadmill. Overall this is a little low for me but i have been a little high the last 3 days so I am not concerned.

Went well, very pleased. Decompressing is difficult with someone home. That is why I am pleased my wife is at school tonight.
Normally I miss her- today i needed the me time.
 
Me time is sooooooooooooooooooo important...I need a day to veg, no work, no hubby, no kid...just me, all alone :)

Good things happened on that treadmill, huh? That's great to hear - I tried running but learned that I am not very good at it, sadly. I stick to the elliptical but it may be that I am slow, I am not sure. I usually do 30 min, which gets me 2.5 miles and about 450 cals (including the resting cals I would have burned just sitting on my ass)

It feels fast to me, I usually stay around 80-85 RPMs and go from there.

The evil cat has been staring at me...I wonder what she is plotting???

The elliptical or arc trainer is my first choice but I cannot grab anything with my rt hand until mid next week. I love running. I smoked for 18 years and couldn't. The fact that I am able to now is such a high.
BTW 80-85 is very good. I am usually happy to keep it a 75 when I used that type of elliptical.

Evil cat is plotting evil things, that is what evil cats do.:) They twirl there mustache and laugh to them selves evilly.
The only thing I fear when I am here alone is the evil cat!
 
I actually do not hold onto the handles on the elliptical, I either run it free handed or I off and on hold onto the stationary handles on the front. I started doing that when I started weight training to give my arms a break.

I am finding that when I try to fun I want to die. Not the most pleasant feeling in the world. I will try to get better at it but I don't want to hurt myself.

Congrats on quitting smoking, that is a great accomplishment.

Evil cat just wandered past...
 
I am upstairs being protected by Harold the non-evil cat.
Evil is looking at me from thwe hallway like she wants to do something but knows Harold will stomp her.
I do not have the balance yet to do the elliptical free handed for any length of time.
One up on me there.

Evil likes to walk close to me and 'pretend' she likes me...I don't buy her crap anymore...

Roger loves to beat on her, it is better than TV :D

It took me a while to get the balance thing down and I still hold the stationary handles quite a bit...

I am sure you can one up me in lots of ways...

Wife is home now. Evil cat is sedated for now.

I think you got me hands down in fitness and overall conditioning. But that is a discussion for another day.
