A beautiful reunion.

Nov 272011

Before I started to do the whole running thing, the ARC trainer from Cybex was my cardio of choice.

Sadly, we hadn’t seen each other for some time, but that made for a beautiful reunion today.

45 minutes, 1 second…and 1050 calories (per the machine, anyway) burned.  WooHoo!

It was really nice to get an actual workout in, they have been sorely missed.  I have been trying to walk a lot lately, but those walks haven’t really given me the little “pep in my step” feeling that a harder workout can do.

In other news, I met Marianas Trench!

For those of you who don’t know them (and honestly, that’s probably most of you), they are a Canadian pop punk band that I was introduced to a few years ago, and they’re kinda awesome.  They were playing near DC last night as part of the Simple Plan (also Canadian, and also awesome) tour.  I am a little shocked that I was able to get pictures (and autographs!) with everyone, especially the last pic, as I saw him later on in the show and asked for another picture because my first one turned out really bad.  Nice guys all around, and hopefully next time I see them I’ll be able to get pictures with them with me being thinner. :)

Oh, and I am crushing HARDCORE on the guy in the mohawk (second picture from the top). ;)

Have a great day, y’all!

Today was the first time I’ve been to the gym in about three weeks.

I’ve had workouts.  I’ve done my lunchtime elliptical workouts, and the occasional dumbbell workout.  But since I can’t work overtime for the rest of the week, and because I haven’t seen my trainer in a while, I decided to head out to the actual gym today.

Sixty minutes on the ARC Trainer, and thirty minutes with the trainer.  I. Am. Beat.

It was nice to have a little asskicking.  It’s long overdue.  I’m going to try to get another nice workout in tomorrow, and then this weekend I am heading up to New York City. WooT!

My Uncle is doing okay.  He should be downgraded to another unit tonight, and should be able to go home either tomorrow or Saturday.  Thank you all for your well wishes. :)

First things first, I want to thank everyone for the Blog birthday/blogiversary/whatever wishes.

You guys are awesome :)

I’ve had a pretty good, if not all that productive weekend.  I spent most of yesterday at Kings Dominion for Halloween Haunt, and it was awesome…mostly because I got to ride roller coasters.

Now, that was never really an issue…I don’t have one of those “I was too fat for them” stories, it was mostly because my friends are a bunch of pussies and for that reason I haven’t been to an amusement park in YEARS.

I did see someone who had to be kicked off of a roller coaster though because she was too big to ride.  My heart ached for her.  It may have never happened to me, but I’ve read blogs with stories like that and about how embarrassing and depressing it is.  And I know that if it happened to me, that would be pretty devastating :/

Anywho, today has been largely uneventful.  I got a pretty good workout in at the gym, even if I didn’t stick around for BodyCombat like I originally intended.  I went to the gym after 5 hours of sleep, and after a leg workout, swimming, and 45 minutes on the bike…I was done.  I did suck it up for a walk around the neighborhood with my roommate later on though.

And…uh…yeah.  Right now I need to work on schoolwork.  We’ll see how that goes…

How was your weekend?
