Gym is Open!

Too bad I didn't get up this morning to go.  I was wide awake at 4:30 this morning and I hate that.   So, after work tonight I'll get to the Y for my daily dose of exercise.

We were supposed to have ballroom dance lessons last night but after driving all the way back downtown (that's where I work), the girl at the front desk said I should have been called that they changed the dates!  Oh, I was so mad. 

What will you do to move to lose today?

Well for me I am going through a nesting type feeling.  So I will be dead set on having a very clean house by the time I get surgery.  I have to get upstairs and get my son's room moved to the toy room which will be his new bedroom.  Once I tackle that it will be loads of work. 

I walked the neighborhood last night, about an hour with my neighbors dog. I volunteered as a dog walker because I have serious puppy yearnings.

I was planning on getting back to the gym today but with the bum shoulder and associated head/neck pain I think I'll just dive into the liquid codeine from surgery instead.

Teleworking today, so I'll hit the pool this afternoon. 40 lengths plus outdoor water aerobics on my own in the sun.

I've gotten so used to doing this (water aerobics) on my own that I'm not sure if I'd enjoy a class anymore. My primary exercise (swimming) is pretty solitary. I really tend to let my mind wander and often puzzle out solutions to problems I am having at work.

Anyone else prefer soitary exercise?

You should be getting a little colder water in that outdoor pool by now right? 

I hate to be bothered when I am exercising.  I put my ipod on before I even enter the gym.  and when someone talks to me (I know it's rude but my time is precious), I only pull out one ear of my earbuds. 

I went downtown for a 3 month post op check up and weigh in and after that I drove the Erie Basin Marina (here in Buffalo) and walked the length oif the park, bench to bench.  It took me 40 min to go down and then back to the car...WHEW!  *wipes shweaty forehead* This could be a new spot for me to walk!  Lot's of people and a nice lake breeze.  :)
