Wow! What a madhouse! I went to the South Burlington Planet Fitness shortly after 5pm and it was cRAzY-packed!! Every machine was in use; the place practically palpitated with sweat and frantic energy as the "hordes" worked out en masse. Thankfully the Stairmaster was free so I clambered on and painfully but determinedly climbed, and climbed, and climbed....I lasted 15 minutes, saw a free bicycle and tottered over to pedal for another 15 minutes. I spent my last 15 minutes on an elliptical, feeling energized and happy, be-bopping to tunes on my little ipod shuffle. Am I the only one checking out the other women? Comparing their weight, body-shape, hairstyle, age, workout clothing to mine, wishing I looked as good as some, and thankful I look better than others? How vain. How silly. But it's human nature.
Today's Eating ended up being a little odd:
AM: Greek yogurt w/ maple syrup, wheat germ & pecans. To DIE for!! I can't wait to have more tomorrow morning!
Snack: Almonds & two dried figs. Yummo.
Lunch: Leftover BBQ'd pork/celery & carrots w/ hummus
Snack: Healthy Request Fudgesicle & coffee
Dinner: Um....I forgot to eat! Hurried off to the gym, picked up my scales from Tim's house where I snitched a delicious homemade meatball, then scooted home & showered, got busy doing laundry, picking up, boiled eggs for egg salad and ate one, ate a spoonful of egg salad, then another one later on with a stick of celery. So. That was dinner. Oh well.
I'm PRETTY psyched to go to a swim class tomorrow afternoon! I haven't been there since last fall, and will be embarrassed to show up "fatter" than when I left, but OH WELL!! It's my favorite type of exercise and I can't wait to see them all again! Wait!! I just realized the class will be packed with the New Year hordes! And I fully admit to being one of them! :)
