Finding My Soul

I'm so proud of myself. I finally got up this morning and went to the gym. I was tossing and turning in bed when I got up at around 5:30AM this morning. I tried to go back to sleep, but I just couldn't do it. I finally just got myself up, brushed my teeth, changed into my gym clothes and drove to the gym this morning. Thankfully it had stopped raining. All I had to do when I get in my car and drive there. I thought I was going to have a problem with parking, but fortunately there were still spaces in the garage before 6:00AM. I went to the front desk to ask about a parking pass and it turns out that my dues were not paid for this month. I guess they couldn't charge it to my credit card. I was about to leave when she gave me a sticker to put in my car after I finished the gym and she let me go in to work out. There were quite a few people in there, but I wasn't surprised. I just went straight to the Elliptical machine and did about a half hours worth of cardio. Thank goodness for my iPod to help me stay motivated.

While I was doing cario, I noticed a guy's butt through the reflection in one of the mirror. I couldn't see his face from the view. After a while, I saw what he looked like when he got off the machine. He was kind of cute. When I was done, I went to go refill my water bottle to stay hydrated. I went to work on my lats and did three sets of 25, then I went to work on my triceps downstairs. As I was working on one of the triceps machine, I noticed this guy checking me out through the mirror while he was doing curls. He was definitely cute. I didn't stare at him though like I usually do. I had one goal in mind and that was to go to the gym regularly and get back into shape. I decided to go home after that. I really didn't want to over do it this time. The one thing that I was glad about was the fact that there weren't too many gym buddies there this morning. There were more people of my size there who were trying to lose weight as well. I went to the locker room and went to change back into my other shoes as the guys around me were getting ready to shower. I really didn't focus on them at all. I just changed and headed out to the car.

I started to notice that my toe was hurting again. I got to remember to put a band-aid on that so that it won't hurt anymore. I wonder if they have anything out there to keep your toes separated and not squished together. I felt good after working out though. I drove back home and was able to park back in my spot in front of the house. I went in to put away my stuff and cooked up some oatmeal for breakfast. I cleaned up the kitchen since I cooked chicken soup last night. I used a lot of utensils, pots, and pans to cook it. I finished my oatmeal with blueberries and took some Centrum vitamins to improve my health. I'm so happy.
