When I went to the gym like it was a religion, I was in the best shape of my life since I was 6 years old. It was an amazing feeling, and I want it back and then some.
You know what? I hated going to the gym after work because there were so many damn people there. It was so crowded and loud, it hurt to even go. I wouldn't stay more than 45 minutes because it was so annoying. Also, I was so tired after the eight hour day and stresses from my oh-so-stressful job of erotica publishing. The first morning I went, I stayed the full hour, and I didn't even notice. What helps also is the lovely woman named Jen Lancaster. She is the most hilarious woman I've read in writing, and she keeps me entertained on the elliptical and bike. Plus, I get an added ab work out by laughing.
Anyway, I was going in the direction of, there are a lot of people there in the morning. Not nearly as bad as in the evening--no kids in the morning. But nonetheless, there are still a decent parking lot full of people. This is encouraging to me. It makes me feel like I'm not the only one who's battling this problem.
And here is something else, the bathroom at work doesn't work. We've been having to go to the store next door. And because I'm working out and have increased my water intake by about 100%, this is particularly problematic. But here's the question: Do I stop drinking water to be productive in my day and not dread going to the bathroom, or having to hold it so long I don't know if I can make it? Or, do I continue to drink my supposed-to-be 90 oz of water a day to help lose this weight and deal with the embarrassment of going next door to see the guys eight times a day? Anyway, for now I will take the 5 minute break to go to the bathroom and rejoice in the fifteen seconds outside. But, I'm signing off to go to bed, so I can start it all tomorrow. I will hope and pray I can continue this into next week. And hopefully soon I will get bitten by the writing bug and start on my draft again.
