After 4 hours of sleep I am pretty surprised that I actually got up at 5:30am like I was supposed to. I jumped out of bed, came downstairs and made blueberry panccakes for Jan and I for breakfast and then proceeded to get in the shower and get ready for the gym. My session was originally supposed to be at 12 today but, I texted Jeremy last night to see if maybe we can do it a little earlier as I still have some things to do today and would like to get a good start on them. I got to the Esso/Tim Horton's at 8:30am and settled down to have my coffee and read all of my documentation for Epcor and sign my papers.
At 9:30 I got my stuff gathered up to get ready to head over to the gym when I got a text from Jeremy asking if we could do our session at 11. Apparently he wasn't feeling all that good so I said no problem and headed to the bank to get my direct deposit form. From there, I went back to the gym and waited patiently by reading the rest of the documents for my session to start. I headed upstairs and got on the treadmill for a 15 min warm up and then Jeremy came to get me.
We started off with a 10lb dumbell and with each arm, raising it above the head 12 times and then holding it sideways, doing squats and standing up while holding the dumbell also 12 times. I had to repeat this and then I had to do squats without the bench while touching the dumbell to the floor and then while standing up raise it above my head 12 times on each arm. I then had to do walking lunges across the gym and back and my left thigh kept getting a sharp pain in it every time I went into the lunge so we stopped and did a stretch to help it out and then did the lunges again.
Once finished the lunges, I was sent down and up the stairs 2 times and then had to repeat. The next time I had to do the stairs I was supposed to do it 3 times and then repeat all exercises one more time. By the time I got up the stairs a third time Jeremy had called me over to the desk and asked if I would mind doing cardio for the rest of the workout. I still had 20 min to go but, he wasn't feeling good. I told him that it was no problem and he said that he would put the session back onto my account.
He also asked me if I was going to lose another 40lbs by July and I said, I don't know, maybe. He was like, if you do, I will give you a free session and I will buy you a lulu lemon shirt and a pair of pants. LOL. He's so funny. Anyways, I finished off the session doing a 3 speed and a 9 incline on the treadmill for 15 min, did my cool down and I was on my way. Just as I was putting my shoes on I happened to look down and noticed that my phone was ringing. It was Epcor. I answered and was notified that instead of coming to the south tower to drop off my documentation that I was able to scan it and send it in an email instead. That works perfectly for me, so I said goodbye, grabbed my purse and was out the door.
I got home and went to grab my stuff out of the car when I realized that I was missing something. My $100 pair of gym shoes were not in the car! I must not have grabbed the bad when I left. So I got back in the car, headed back to the gym and retrieved my shoes. Now that I am home, I have a few things to do around the house here, one thing being that I need a nap. I may just say to heck with it and get on with the other stuff and just go to bed earlier tonight. I will be doing some stretches, ab crunches, the plank and also, doing some more weight lifting with the new dumbell set that my dad and his girlfriend gave me this weekend. Maybe when that is done, I will maybe do some stairs as well considering the fact that I feel fairly energetic. I may wind up even going back to the gym this evening, I haven't decided that far yet. Tomorrow I am going to the gym in the morning once again, and hopefully staying for awhile. I hear the eliptical calling me and also the bike and treadmill. Might as well work out hard for the next 10 days while I am off! :)
