Gym Bunnies

So today is sunday. The lazy man's favorite day. Nothing to do but sit around and watch sports on the tv. Or maybe you go to church, and you will be getting up to go hear the sermon and then come home to some lovely homecooked meal or go out to dinner with your family. Today for me is different- its the start of the dreaded gym day!

And if i didnt need any more confirmation, this is the conversation i just had with my ex fiance:

Ex: Why do you need to go to the gym?
Me: B/c im fat
Ex: Well your still beautiful anyways

Thanks. Im so glad you agreed with me about being fat. k. well now i know i need to go to the gym. x 10

So, now i just have to figure out when im going to go and how im going to make my fat ass get off the couch, off the computer and in motion.  I know i need to charge my mp3 player before i go anywhere and then upload some new music. The old stuff is great but i need a new playlist to get my butt in gear.

And then i have to figure out when the base gym opens. I cant remember. Its been so long since ive actually WENT to the gym. Its nice outside right now but its 7 am. Im still in my pj's and havnt done anything cept get a coke and put on pants. Ive thought about going out to the lake on base and walking the trail there but i got sunburnt the other day and its still not quite gone and if it gets really sunny its going to hurt. Not to mention that wearing shorts out there it will just get worse.

And im depressed. Its been a very long 4th weekend. Lots of drama, lots of sadness.

So how am going to get the strength up to go work out. Around alllll those hot military guys.... and gym bunnies. I go to the gym and there they are. These tiny little girls that wear very little clothing giving us people that are not quite so in shape.  Its unnerving. The guys, surprisingly, i can deal with. They are usually very nice and considerate and eager to help even us lumps that come waddling into the gym. But the gym bunnies.... no, they look at us like we're trying to steal their buff boy wonders away from them. Honestly, i just wanna know how to use this damn machine without breaking something ok! I usually stick to the track above the weight room and basketball court. That way i can observe and not really look like an idiot. Just walking around the track with my headphones in my ears and thinking about anything and everything i want to.

So today's goal is to walk at least 5 miles. Id like to go for 7 but i dont think its going to happen. 5 is going to be pushing it for my first day and ill probably only end up with 3. I also wanna take my book ( this makes it so much easier) and use the bikes at the gym. I can sit and read while i pedal and get lost in it and do so much more. Ill alternate, book, music, book,, music and then it doesnt get boring and i get in more miles and burn more calories. Plus, i get to read my books that i have stacked up to the ceiling in my house. 2 for the price of one i say.

So far today ive had 3 sips out of a coke zero. And right now im waiting on my fruit chiller to thaw out. Ill try to eat a banana and a piece of toast about half an hour before i go to the gym that way ill have some energy or something.

Really... i just wanna go back to bed :/
