Day 283 is spacey

I got home from work later than expected tonight. After eating a delicious sandwich, I decided to go to the gym. Despite fighting an oncoming cold, it felt good to work out! I parked under this light and thought it looked a little spaceship-y from my car. Maybe it's the cold meds working?

Day 178, work it.

Last week I joined a gym, Retro Fitness. It's new, so it's really clean and surprisingly not too crowded. Plus they have a movie theater with exercise machines. Yesterday Kindergarten Cop was the advertised movie, but The Mask was playing instead. I nearly asked for a refund. Despite being out of shape, I'm feeling really good about easing back into regular exercise. Today was day four of working out. My friend and I were doing ab exercises and for a brief moment I felt like I was going to vomit - Biggest Loser style. But I was fine. I'm not that out of shape. Oh yeah, here I am stretching while lacing up my sneaks.

Day 77 just did it.

I skipped out on the gym yesterday because I was feeling what I can only describe as meh.  Tired and cranky, swamped with work and with a slight tummy ache. These were not good reasons to skip the gym and I was feeling guilty about it as soon as I decided not to go. BUT THEN I got a chance redeem myself today and make up for playing hooky! Yes, I did spend my Friday night at the gym. Please try not to be jealous of the wild and crazy life I lead.

This is the view from the 6th floor of the gym. It was a gray and rainy in Seattle today. The locals even had umbrellas which is how you know the weather is really sucky x1000. Which it definitely was. Where are you spring?

Day 41 overdid it

I decided to see if I could handle another trip to the gym tonight. I felt good about going, I was pumped to go, I had my workout clothes and sneakers. I was gonna be a champion..... I did 35 minutes of a workout then suddenly felt a little like I was going to die. Not something you want to feel at a gym or ever really. Long story short: don't try to go to the gym when you know you're sick. Lesson learned. Anyway, while waiting for my ride (aka. the bus!) I snapped this shot of the Beacon Hill Light-rail station. It's quite gorgeous and that clear blue sky doesn't hurt it one bit.
