say something about ... yourself!

No days off this week. w00t

having home equipment may work for some.. I'm in the group that actually needs to go out and do the work out, because at home I get too distracted.

that.

plus there's no room for a treadmill or bike in the house.

i think i make reading too much of a priority when i'm on the treadmill or bike, since, at the gym, i'm always reading a book when i'm on the machines. lately, whenever i sit down to read - in the library at school, my living room or bedroom, i get tired almost instantly, no matter how much sleep i got the night before. reading while i work out is the only time i can actually read for a sustained period of time, and it's the only time that i can really work out without getting distracted.

depending on time constraints, i do
15-30 min on the recumbant bike at 95/105rpm
and 15-35 min (and 5 min cool down) on the treadmill at 3.5mph

so not really strenuous but i do sweat, i do feel tired especially after going for a half hour on each and i feel totally great <3

how the hell can you read when you're on a treadmill or bike? i remember trying to read a magazine once on the treadmill with no success, too much bouncing up and down to actually keep my eyes on it. and i was only walking.

I use an exercise bike that my dad found on the street, and usually I watch tv.

yeah I know!
I'm the same way, I can't read at all at the gym... too much sweating/ bouncing/ fast paste - my eyes can't do it.
I usually just watch the Gym's TV screens or flip through Vogue.

....on another completely different note:

My cat loves me


She follows me around, and is always in my lap, and she falls asleep on me... awwww It makes me so happy.

<3 Islay

(yes, Shrike is extremely jealous)

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

i think most of the guys here are really jealous, too

you had to see that coming :Smug:

 

[neal]

i think most of the guys here are really jealous, too

indeed!

 

[Dead_Lioness]

hahaha I actually didn't... you're funny L!

I wrote the above right when I typed the message about the gym, and Islay came running towards me and sat in my lap
and rubbed her head, closed her eyes, and just was overly cute. So I had to write that

I <3 my pets so much.

[Krigloch the Furious]

The cheese is crap. It's melted and crusted american cheese

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

what sucks is that I've been eating fairly poorly for the past couple days. DAMMIT!

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Ugh it's allergy season. My eyes are all swollen and watery, and my sinuses have been hurting all day. I'm sure getting hit in the nose isn't helping much either.
