With my Gym Buddyâ„¢ now living in Bangor, Maine, I haven’t been to the gym yet this month. In fact, I haven’t been to the gym since July 18th. I’m not a winner right now!
I have nothing motivational to say to myself to go. I’m just going to quit being stupid and go. Besides, how [...]

Today was a bad ass day at the gym, although I may be too sore tomorrow to raise my hands above my head.
My benchpressing has been going increasingly well as of late and tonight, I skyrocketed past my personal best.
I did 100lbs for six reps, and followed that with 110lbs for three reps. So awesome.
I [...]

Watch me whine real quick.
I bought new shoes a couple of months ago. It was, to make an extremely long story short, a huge ordeal and I ended up ordering them online. I know it’s my own fault for ordering shoes without trying them on first, but it seemed like a good idea at the [...]

Hey, guess who did everything on her Sunday-to-do-list? Yeah, me.
Tomorrow is May 1, as you probably know, but it’s also the day that I have to go to the gym 8 times a month in order to save $20/month through my health insurance on my gym membership. Why, yes, I do enjoy extra prepositional phrases.
Eight [...]

I only had to do cardio at the gym today. I guess that was my reward for going six out of seven days this week. Yes, even I amaze myself some days. They say 21 times of something turns it into a habit. That means I have 15 more workouts to go to test that [...]

Guess who’d went grocery shopping and to the gym all before 1pm today? That’d be me.
Tip o’ the Day: Go to the grocery store after spending an hour at gym sweating and panting. I guarantee you just cruise right down the cookie/chip aisle. I couldn’t figure out why my grocery cart was so empty when [...]

Two workouts in two days and they’re getting recorded in the same post. I’m resourceful like that.
I know all of you aren’t into it, so I’ll throw the details in an extended entry. I’m nice. Remember?

I went to the gym again tonight. I was so high on endorphins last night that I wanted to do it again. So I did.
