I'm really terribly timid, and horrrrrrrrrribly SHY!

I have been waking up at 5 to go to the gym with Elizabeth for the past week. (I never get enough sleep, let it be known. Regardless of when I need to wake up. How long I stay up seems to be directly correlated with my wake up time. 8 am? I'll stay up til 2. 5 am? I'll stay up til midnight. Ugh.)

Today was good. Sweaty little me. :D I did the eliptical(?) for 15 minutes, the bike for 15 minutes, and .2 seconds on the biscep machine. That seems like so little...hmmm, I swear it seemed like a TON while it was going on. I boogyed to "My Humps"-Black Eyed Peas, "Eye of the Tiger"-Survivor, "Super Rad"-AquaBats, and "Walkin' on Sunshine"-Katrina & the Waves. It was hard to not sing along.

Oh yeah! Then I did The Ab Machine of Death, which is the one where you sit on it, tuck your feet behind the bars, then fold yourself in ways that you were never intended to. (Where you use just your abs and fold forward while your knees lift up and toward you. Pure death.) Last week I couldn't get the stupid machine to move...at all. (I spit on it, pattooeeee!) So I was kind of joking when I climbed on it this morning. I said to Elizabeth, "One day I'm going to actually be able to do this thing." and lo and behold it started to move! Well, after I moved it from 40 pounds to 10. (Who in the world wants to do 40 pound crunches?!) I did almost 30 of 'em in reps of 5. That's all I could do, believe me. My body parts about to form a mutiny. Maybe tomorrow I'll hit 40. ...if my body does something bad between now and then and I'm seeking some form of punishment.

Oh, I'm not supposed to mention...but I will anyway, we skipped out of the gym five minutes early to hit McDonalds. Hahaha.

Shelly is laying on the couch in the reception area; she threw her back out. Diane asked her what happened. I semi-yelled, "She looked at YOU!", which cracked me up hysterically. Diane said, "Wanna get physical?!" and pretended to hit me with a package that was sitting here (oh crap, I need to mail that tonight) I think they are getting used to me around here by now. :D
