I am really getting tired of this whole situation of not being able to sleep good at night, I had a terrible sleep once again and was awake bright and early at 5am. I crawled out of bed at 5:20am and get the keys to the car from Jan and went over to Esso to get smokes, gas and a coffee. By the time I got home and finished my coffee, it was time to give Jan a ride to work. This time I had to drive her to Jasper Ave or around there anyways, because she had a few extra things to take to work with her this morning and it would have been a little awkward to carry it all on the LRT. So we left here at 6:45am and we were on our way.
Once I got home, I made myself a slice of toast with 2 eggs and a slice of cheese on it and jumped in the shower. I had planned to hit the gym before afternoon and I did manage to get in a little bit earlier. Not much, but I headed out the door by 10:30am and when I finished my coffee at Tim Horton's it was 11:30am. I walked over to the gym and when I got upstairs I headed to the ladies only room. I was hoping to do the eliptical for a little bit.
However, I rounded the corner in there and both elipticals were being used. I went back over to the other side, talked to Francois for a couple minutes and then got on the treadmill. I got the speed up to a 2.5 and because I took my ereader along, before I knew it, 20 min had passed. I jumped off to go to the washroom, and came back for another 40 min. I still wasn't completely satisfied so I thought, well, maybe now one of those elipticals are free.
I headed back over, stopping at the washroom again and they were both still being used. So, I got on the bike, and did that for the next half an hour. I wound up burning in total 504 calories today. Pretty impressive for me, as I usually only burn about 300 a day.
I am not sure what is wrong with me today. I keep feeling a tightness in my chest and I was feeling a little panicked earlier this morning. I think this is why I decided to stay at the gym a little longer today. I am excited to be starting at Epcor, but at the same time I am terrified. It is a completely new experience for me and I am forced to at least dress a little on the girly side. I know to some people it may seem like such a petty thing but for me, I have never been one for the makeup, putting my hair in a "beautiful" nature, and dressing up for a work place. I almost feel like I am losing a part of me which is completely ridiculous, but that's how I feel and it scares me to death. Maybe it is just the fact that I am really nervous about starting in a completely different field than what I am used to. Time will only tell.
I am still very much dedicated to the whole weight loss thing so that is a good thing, and I am really excited for the new things that life is going to be bringing my way in the next year or so in my life. :)
