Thursday I skipped the gym and went yarn shopping instead. D'oh.. Like my yarn stash isn't already big enough!
Friday was my usual rest day.
Saturday I went to a step class in the morning followed by 11 hours of walking around the PNE. I guess that burned off a lot of calories despite the deep fried pop tart, mini donuts and foot long hot dog I ate.
Sunday - Rest day.
Today it's back to the gym again..

Yep...
Yesterday at the gym....
35 minutes of stationary bike on hill setting, level 11.
2L water consumed
? Calories.. didn't post.. (I know, I know, I should be posting/tracking calories)
I miss my friend M. She's away on a trip.
Goodlife finally got key fobs. I was getting really tired of carrying around that flimsy little card and having to fish it out of my bag every time I went to the gym. I was also worried that my bag would tip in the car and I would lose it.
Plus my keys are usually in my hand anyway so that makes it easier.
I think I am going to go to Attack class tonight. Should be fun.
I think that's all I have today.. bo-ring.

Well here I am again.
Things have been busy, but first, let's put up yesterday's gym activity...
Last night...
20 mins fit fix
40 mins stairmaster
2L of water consumed
? Calories.. I've been slacking at posting my calories lately.. just been too busy.
I was kind of relieved when I looked here today to tell you the truth. I thought it had been longer since my last visit to the gym, but it really hasn't been that long! I have been running three times a week for oh, about the past 4 weeks.
I love running. I love the runner's high and the sense of accomplishment.. I hate the jarring pain in my knees afterward.
That and it was raining yesterday so I thought I'd go back to the gym. Time to start getting into the groove again. I have been falling off and on the bandwagon.
I had a fairly active weekend. The hubby and I went berry picking on Saturday. That was fun. We were out on a nice hot sunny day for about 4 hours. Sunday I cleaned the house. I call it housercise.. lol.. Why did I buy a house with so many stairs?!
The bit I found most interesting about going from the gym to running is that all those hours you spend pounding away on the stairmaster etc, don't really translate to real life. Oh sure I can go like a bastard on that stairmaster for 40 mins, but I can't really run for 10 mins straight!
I couldn't really help thinking as I walked into the gym yesterday with all the shiny machines and lots of people slogging away, that it's kind of sad that we have to resort to this to stay in shape. We are chained to desks for so much of our life that we have to purchase gym memberships to get our exercise. Imagine if you brought a cave man to present day and told him that people pay money to walk on a treadmill. He'd probably laugh at you.
In other news, my friend E and I have committed to a craft sale in November. I am currently busting my hump to make sure I have enough stock for the sale. Goal is 20 scarves and 10 sock monkeys to sell.
Why can't there be more hours in a day?
