no training today

I got my assignment done HURRAY! Just printing it off as I write.

Rae’s post on cardio got me thinking so hard I didn't do mine today LOL. No not really I sometimes have a whole day of in the middle of the week, and if need be make up the cardio on the weekend. My cardio in my new program doesn't require nearly as much time, but it is at a much higher intensity, and I get to eat before it.

I made an interesting meal so to speak today, I had a sugar/fat free pudding mix, so I mixed it with water, protein powder and ground oats. It was good! I don't have sweets very often actually; just had a hankering for some and that certainly fixed it :)

Tomorrow I go to the gym in between classes, I'll wait till lunch time is over though, I much prefer it when it isn't busy. I've never really been one to socialise when I'm training, I just like to get the job done. That reminds me these cute young boys, not much older than my oldest son were on the leg press yesterday and I was waiting to use it, there was 3 of them and they were chatting up a storm LOL. So I did 2 exercise out of order.... being patient ...as you do, and I'm thinking come on are you guys ever going to get off, they had actually stopped using the machine altogether, one was just sitting on it...and they were just catching up.... as you do I suppose. NOT this little duck! ....So I just politely asked when they would be done and no worries they finished up.

Made me think if they concentrated on what they were doing they would possibly get much better results, ow well we all go to the gym for different reasons I suppose, so I like to go when it's quiet to avoid such situations.

Gosh, lately I finding it hard to go to bed early, have to knock that on the head, if I get tired That’s when I tend to want/think of foods I am wanting to avoid, so on that note I will get my but to bed,

I am proud of you for approching those guys lol.
Just last Tuesday the same thing happened to me. Two big muscle head guys were about to start on the Lying leg curl just when I needed it! I wasn't going to wait though, it was my last exercise.
Sooooo I approched them and asked if it was ok to work in with them lol. I can't believe I did it as they looked so intimidating. They grunted and I think that meant yes. I had smashed my hamstrings on that day lol.
The guys at the gym are usually pretty easy going with things like that.

Lia how true and thankyou for reminding me, earlier this year I made a promise to myself to not let uni get in the way of my exercise and nutrition, as in the past I have allowed that to happen, so thanks for that:) It reminded me of that promise.

Splice, *lol* yes you just got to be polite, but reasonably assertive sometimes at the gym don’t you?? Especially when it’s busy ;)

just read your blog and sounds like your on fire great to hear
