Monday's are always the hardest. It's not that I don't want to go, I just don't like getting out of my bed. My warm, comfy, big, bed. Rest assured, I still went. Monday is just a cardio day and nothing worth writing about happened. Tuesday, is a different story.
I go to the gym at my usual time, dropped Mike off at the Kids Klub and headed upstairs for my cardio. While I was on the treadmill, little Ms. Chatter Box passed me and was on her way to the machines. Yep, you guessed it, she was on her phone the whole time. I watched her get on her first machine and sit there for a couple minutes before beginning. Then I had a great idea. I would time her! I set my timer and kept watching while I walked. Since I didn't set my timer right when she got on her 1st machine, I'm not 100% sure how long she was on it. I do know, that she was on it for 7.18 minutes from the time I started my timer. I assume it was almost 10 minutes total. Her next machine was the leg curl. I set my timer as soon as she got it on it this time. Three minutes passed before she did a single curl. She then did 3 curls and stopped. My timer was at the 5 minute mark before she did anything else. So she occupied a machine for 5 minutes to do 3 reps. After the 5 minute mark, she did 2 sets of 7 reps. She was on the machine for about 7-8 minutes. I didn't time anymore, I had what I needed. Not that I plan to do anything with the information I had gathered. I just wanted to know how long she keeping the machines from other people who would actually use them.
After my cardio I went downstairs to do my new chest workout. I mentioned before that Ben has me using more Freemotion machines now. I haven't mentioned how much I hate them. Like everything else, I'll get used to it. While I was doing my lateral raises there was this sudden stench of cheeseburgers. I think some guy had eaten a cheeseburger before working out and then burped right by me. It smelled so bad! Maybe it was a good thing though, I was completely turned off to fast food for the rest of the day (not that I get fast food often).
I had another training session today. We didn't do an intense workout today. We just worked on resistance band workouts that I could use while I am on vacation next week. I did 3 sets of each workout. Hopefully I can remember them. At the very least, I would like to try to walk each day. I think that as long as I keep up with my cardio, I'll be okay.
Two little side notes:
1. I've been thinking about those heart monitory watches again. I think that at some point, I would really like to get one.
2. I've lost 2 more pounds since my last weigh in.
