I had a great weekend but it ended with a really crappy sleep last night and then a crappy day today followed. I got cranky for no real reason. BUT, I stuck it out and made myself go to the gym tonight even though that was the absolute last thing I felt like doing.
I have now gone to the gym 2 out of 3 days. I am very happy with myself. Neesja, while I was waiting for Kaitlin and Nicole, I watched you pedal hard and you didn't even know it.
I have my PA first thing at work tomorrow, so that will either give me a great day or make me cranky again, if I'm not already.
I had two things I wanted to blog about just an hour ago and now I can't remember either one. What the hell is up with that? OH, OH, OH, I just remembered both!
One: Today, January 24th, is supposed to be the worst day of the year. Some person proved it mathematically. Something to do with Christmas being over, all the huge credit card bills coming due & having broken everyone of your New Years resolutions by now. I figured we might as well tack on the short days and long nights and cold crappy weather of the Canadian January while we're at it. A lawyer I know once told me that January & February are known in the legal world as the Divorce season. They do over 50% of the years divorces in these two months. It is also known as the worst time of year for suicides.
I don't suppose the fact that everywhere you go, bankers and investment people are pushing Rrsp's and telling you that you don't have enough money saved for retirement and you can't count on the Canada Pension Plan anymore and that just reminds you that its tax season now too.
And two: Now, if most people have broken their New Years resolutions by today, why is the gym so damn busy? I always expect it to be busier after New Years, but usually by now it has started to slack off a bit. Tonight was the busiest I have ever seen it. I go there and work myself up to a good workout mindset and then I have to sit and wait up to 10 minutes for a machine. Then when I get through my cardio I have to fight 16 to 22 year old young men who are all just goofing around and showing off for the 3 young pretty perky girls their age and ignoring all us fat 40 year old ladies who are there with a serious plan just to use a piece of the weight equipment.
The absolute worst is when they don't take the 2-75lb weights off the machines when they are done. I refuse to ask for their help, I would rather wait another 10 minutes for another one.

As if they have nothing better to do than show off...
Your last few paragraphs is in my top ten reasons why I don't go to the gym.
I prefer going for a walk, at least there is always something interesting going on in downtown Edmonton.
Or I can go to the building I live in's Gym... But there is usually a lot of "super serious about having a strict work out plan" type people there, and me, not knowing what I am doing, am in their way, and I get glared at, and they make me feel like dirt.
Also in my top ten reasons why I hate gyms.
Yeah, so I tend to avoid them like the plague.
Hopefully these young show offs will find somewhere else to do it...
That would be nice...
yeah so anyway...
Maybe everyone heard the story about the Breaking of Resolutions and decided that they would defy it. Hopefully they'll accept their fate and be out of there in a couple of weeks. Good for you for going in spite of it. J bought this a few weeks ago so I have the luxury of working out at home now. And BOY! Do I need it!
