Gym Check Wednesday…. PSYCH!

Wednesdays are my scheduled Days Off from the gym, seeing as they are hallowed holy days on which Ben pays tribute to the Bar. (That would be, Belgian Ale Mecca of San Diego, the regular Wednesday Bar, O’Brien’s.)

So even if I weren’t still swimming in my own sinuses, I would still have stayed home. Though in my case I finished up some of the work I had left unfinished when I left the office early, and otherwise rested up and went to bed early.

Back to the grind tonight, methinks. I don’t see how a half hour of moderate cardio should interfere whatsoever with what’s going on in my sinuses, seeing as how I’m not really sick, just severely irritated and suffering the dry air.

In other news… after dropping Sami off at day care this morning, I nabbed a cup of coffee in the lobby. At the same time, a dad was punching himself in using the computer login system they have, and he was holding his younger son while the elder one was bouncing off the walls (wish I had that kind of energy at 8 AM.) The younger boy looked straight at me and said, “NO MUFFINS!?”

It was true, there were no muffins out with the coffee. I shared his outrage. I love kids.

Gym check Tuesday: low & slow.

The Santa Anna winds sweep in from time to time and fill my head with snot.

This about sums up my day.  But in the name of routine establishment, I dragged my butt to the gym nonetheless.  I just turned on the elliptical and went for 30 minutes on some program.  It was actually a decent workout, despite that I gave it no mental energy whatsoever.

Gym check, and other spinny goodness.

Gym check - 60 minutes of cardio Monday night.  I put Harry Potter 5 on my iPod and it got me through.  500 calories, and boy am I feeling it this morning; I was starving!

I have been steadily working on my current spinning project, a dark blue faced leicester top that I got from Spunky Eclectic. It is nigh upon the softest thing I have ever touched, and I’m working on an 8-oz pile of it which is… taking nigh upon forever to spin up.  But it is a fantastic wind-down activity in the evening, especially after a workout and a shower.  (Haha, winding on yarn to wind down… ok, I will not make a career out of punnery.)

For someone who sure loves my camera a lot, I haven’t been on top of the photojournalism lately.  I promise pictures of the wheel, my spinning, and maybe a new shot of Sami sometime soon.
