I am in a pretty amazing mood right now! Had a pretty darn good day at work, had an awesome 45 min chat with Jeremy at the gym before my workout, and then had a perfectly awesome workout! I could not have asked for a more perfect day.
Let`s start at the start. I was awake at 5:30 this morning and ready to head out the door by 6:55am. Jan didn`t come to work today so it was just me and considering that Merv (Jan`s brother) had Jan`s car, he was giving me a ride to the LRT this morning. I got on the LRT and was starting to get ready to listen to my music, and on came one of our neighbors. I put the ipod away and him and I chatted the whole way to Churchill. I almost missed my stop because the conversation was so good lol.
At work, we learned about a few more billing things, and then carried on to go on the phones in the afternoon. I had 5 calls in total and the first 4 were quick easy ones, and then my last call wound up lasting 25 min. By the time I ended the call with the customer, I was feeling pretty sorry for him. I can't go into detail because it is a breach of privacy but, it was sad. Anyways, I left work at 3:45 after talking with Sara for a few min on my way out the door and then headed home to meet up with Merv at the LRT again.
I went with him to go and pick up his car, drove home myself with a pitstop to Timmie's (mmmm.....Timmie's....) and as I walked through the door, Jan was making supper. I went upstairs, changed into my workout attire, and by 7 I was on my way to the gym. Oh have I missed the gym! I am pretty sure Jeremy had missed me as well considering the fact that I walked in, and instead of going into the front area of the building, he saw me, turned around and came upstairs with me. I asked him if he was going to his desk and if he wanted company for a few min and he said, of course!
We sat and chitchatted like I said for about 45 min and then I looked at my phone and realized that I should probably get my workout started. He told me to have a good,. hard workout and we went our own seperate ways. We also managed to finally set up the two last sessions, 1 of them being on April 9. I am a little anxious because I have missed training with him terribly!
I was feeling pretty good in the knee today, I had a couple times where I thought that maybe I shouldn't go to the gym because there are certain ways that I will step down on the leg and it triggers a little bit of discomfort in the knee. It's almost like I feel like I'm going to fall. But, I headed into the ladies only room because I was extremely anxious to get on that eliptical and see what I would be capable of doing.
I started off at the lowest tension possible for a min and then at 2 min, increased it to a level 2. I carried on until the 5 min mark and brought it up to a 3. I carried on for another 2 min and went up once more. At the 20 min mark I had made my way up to a level 5 and thought, ok, I'm doing fine. No pain yet. So, I brought it up one last time to a level 6 and left it there for the remainder of my 30 min. I wound up burning my 300 calorie total which was pretty good and I would have been able to go longer but as I spent so much time chatting instead of working out, I figured that I should probably head home.
I am still feeling pretty good, my back is really sore as I have not done stretches at all for the last 4 days, but, I do plan to get them finished before I head off to bed. I am really hoping that I will be able to get a workout in tomorrow after dinner but, there are no guarantees there as I still need to do a little bit of shopping tomorrow evening and pick some things up. Saturday however, will be another story. I do plan to do another 2 hour workout, and I hope my body is ready for it because I will be doing strength and cardio as well. I will have to see how it goes. :)
