Brian and I went to work out at the gym tonight...and BOY, I realize that I am completely out of shape.

The first thing I did when I went in there was get on the bicycle (the one that doesn't look like a bike, but you are pedaling a lot). I did it for about 5 minutes and that was enough for me. I was out of breath and my heart rate was just insane. My goal was 129, but I was well above that at 160.

After that, we went to the weight machines and I worked my legs, thighs, and glutes! I did a lot of the arm machines, but I didn't find anything that worked the abdomen. You'd think they'd have machines that helped with crunches and all that, but nothing. By then, Brian was feeling sick, so he went to the bathroom. Me, I went to the tread climber and walked for about 6 minutes before I was just exhausted.

I am so out of shape :( My goal is to actually complete a full work out and feel good about it afterwards. I think I need to work on cardio and just fat burning to get some of this baby weight off and some of the other weight off. I need to set goals and stick to them.

I should make a list of things that I want to accomplish:

1) Drink only water
2) Complete a 20 minute work out on the tread climber

I'll have to add more to my list later. I really like the list that stlcardsgal86 has on her site and I might do a take on that. I'll have to work on more things to put on my list though besides just drinking water and completing a 20 minute work out on the tread climber.

In other news, I heard that they are moving our department upstairs in our office building. When that happens, it will be extra peachy keen! No more dealing with the other departments face to face...we'll be upstairs! The other awesome thing about that is that my friend works for a design firm and her firm is the one that is actually designing our space plan and doing the space upstairs! What are the chances of that happening?!

I have a feeling that they'll be using Steelcase for our cubicles and whatnot since they have mostly Steelcase things in there right now. Click the link if you want to see some pretty cool office furniture. I know when I thought of offices before I went into Interior Design, I did not think that they could look that cool. The cubes at my work right now are blah...and that's what most cubicles look like, but these actually make cubicles fun!

She said that there are a lot of 8x8 cubicles and then there are some 8x6 cubicles. I really hope that I would get one of the 8x8 cubicles because 2 feet really makes a big difference.

Either way, I'm sure I'll be happy just going upstairs! I get to ride the elevator to get to work...OR, I can just take the stairs (but that's not as fun)...

BUT YEAH...I think I'm going to sleep or something. I've got work to do in the morning...ugh...work...

working out is refreshing. i need to get in shape too.

cheers,
sank

I need to get in shape too.. but I'm lazy. Well, it's normal to be so aware of how out of shape you are when you start to go to the gym.. By the way, taking the stairs is a of exercise too..

I really should get a membership with a gym, but I just don't have the money, or the motivation right now. Once I get settled in Vegas, though, it'll be a different story. Give it a few weeks with going to the gym and then it won't be so exhausting.
