meccahiI am apparently, not as out of shape as I thought. I am thinking that under all this fluffy stuff there's actually muscle!
Ran on the treadmill for 3 1/2 miles.. plus fast walking.. and didn't even feel slightly winded. Sweaty yes, winded, no. I could easily have done 5 without feeling strained. In fact I was tempted to, but I wanted to hit the shower before the morning crowd came in.
That plus my round on the circuit machines, my workouts have been about 2 hours each day. And I'm loving it. My muscles feel a little sore, but not the OMG I can't Move, sore. Just.. pleasantly? sore. Making sure to include lots and lots of stretching.
It also helps that the time I'm on the treadmill is the same time that the Television has two episodes of Angel on.. plus two episodes of Charmed. I am a serious dork when television shows are what keep me going on the treadmill because I don't want to stop watching.
Whatever works right?
I am so far behind on work it's terrifying. Plus I have to make an emergency ring order. That may or may not be here on time.
Oh oh! BUT!
I may (MAY) have sold my van. Even better.. I may be selling it to a friend's Mom. Which is like keeping it in the family. The thought of it made me tear up earlier in happiness, because god knows I LOVE my van so much. How can you not when it was your home for 7 years. I have so many memories tied up in it. So many adventures that we've had together across the country. I just want her to go to a good home where I know she'll be taken care of and restored. Apparently friend's mom runs a dog grooming service, and she wants to take it mobile. Which means she needs a large van to do it in. I already told them about all of the mechanical issues, and that it would probably have to be gutted, but supposedly that's pretty much what they're looking for, and for the price I'm asking, they don't mind so much about the mechanical issues since they have a mechanic in the family that's going to be working on it.
We'll see... I could really really use the money right now.. so happy thoughts people. I've got my fingers crossed.

Date: 2009-09-23 02:00 am (UTC)My back however is another story. It is most definitely sore ( the upper, not lower), so I'm taking it easy on it. I think it's because I've started on the light weights, working shoulders, back, triceps and biceps, and I'm not used to it.
Apparently my thigh muscles can crush coconuts though.

Every other day is always a good rule.
