stuck in loops

my mom has been asking me if i can feel the burn in my abs from working out on my ab circle pro. i’ve been telling her no because i usually don’t get too exhausted from working out on it, and then i usually don’t feel too much aching in my muscles.

today, that’s not true. i took a break yesterday and didn’t work out and today my muscles are killing me.

OH WELL AT LEAST I’M GETTING ABS.

also i’m gonna record my weight as well as how long i work out on the machine, etc. like i’ll post it on tumblr and then you guys will all know about my progress! because i mean obviously you care. i have no idea how much i weigh right now so i’m sure my first weigh-in will be a bit surprising for me.

starting tomorrow dakota and i are going to start working out. i don’t know his plan exactly, but mine is mostly just to do as many sit-ups and as many push-ups as i can until i can’t do them anymore. and gradually, as i do this every day, i’ll get better and better and stronger and stronger. i’m gonna record my weight and my numbers of sit-ups, push-ups.

tomorrow we’re actually going to go on a walk too, i think it’s 5 miles. we’ve walked the trail before but we’ve never walked the whole way, we always give up. so tomorrow we’re adding a walk, and we’ll probably do that kinda often.

i’m excited and nervous. school is starting in one more day! :D

today was a pretty great day.

woke up at 6:30, got ready for school. my contacts went in really easily, which is awesome. went to school, got a soda, talked to cindy before class. i love psychology and class was fine, we just took more notes; we’re learning about the physical aspects of human brains right now. then i had a two hour break before my next class so i went to the library and i finished my sociology homework, but i still had another hour so i did my statistics homework and a psychology pretest. i wandered around and ran into this guy jeff and we talked for about twenty minutes before we each had to go to class. went to sociology, read some out of my psychology book while i was waiting for class to start. we talked about how society has changed over time, gender rolls, it was really interesting. then i went and hung out with miguel, matthew, and this other guy named ben who i think i recognize from seventh grade. we hung out at the uc and i ate. i was waiting on lindsey to get out of class because we were going to go work out. so i hung out with the boys for an hour and then lindsey and i went to the foy. before working out we weighed ourselves and i weighed 112.8lbs. we worked out on the ellipticals and then some other machine that i really enjoyed; i ran a mile and a half all together. it definitely felt like we ran faster than last time though. we were going to leave but then we ran into lindsey’s sister’s boyfriend cody and he asked us to go play racquetball with him and we did. lindsey didn’t really like it because cody was really aggresive, but i liked it. we might try to play together sometime, just girls, ‘cause cody’s really serious about it and actually plays the game; we just wanna hit the ball. after working out i was 13.2lbs. WEIRD.

it was a lot in one day and i really enjoyed it. i just like feeling productive.
