On being sweaty gym mouse

After a good hour or so of gym-mousyness early this afternoon (having decided that early afternoon is the quietest time of day to visit AF during the week) I am feeling pretty darn good about my progress.

I have decided to try the weighing myself once a week idea--- mostly because it will give me something to look forward to each week haha. :) I weighed a billion this morning, that is all I will say.

Also, I watched Spongebob today at the gym. I am very confused about whether or not I can watch spongebob on a regular basis or if the TV guide just doesn't know what it's talking about. Also, all of the doors for the tanning rooms were locked today and the lady was vacuuming and so I didn't feel like I could say "HELLO PLEASE! I WOULD LIKE TO TAN!"

Furthermore, I'm starting to see how people can spend hours on end in the gym. I get the feeling I'll get there within a week or so. Half an hour here, half an hour there-- I could pretty much do that all day. And I have very little else to do.

I have been struggling with this "relaxation" concept. I'm really good at slacking, time-wasting, surfing the internet (which is a complex combination of the two), sleeping too much, eating too much and generally being slothful. However, truly restful relaxing time is not really in my reporitoire. Tanning has been helping, because you can't help but chill out when you're getting baked to a delicious brown :)

Also the people who run are apartment are a bunch of pirates and wenches, and not in the cool, "arr matey, getcher booty" sort of way.
This is the general vibe I get from them:
"Your air conditioning doesn't work and we couldn't possibly care any less than we do, no matter how many times you politely call and ask us to fix it. As a matter of fact, the amount that we care falls somewhere between 'I don't give a sh$#,' and straight up 'F@#% off.' So it is in your best interests just to stop pretending you MIGHT live in a comfortable situation sometime this summer and grow bigger ears in an effort to cool the blood in your body like dessert rabbits do."

So, if anything, I might sweat off a few pounds.

Yay for landlords. Grr.

Glad to have you back on here - huzzah for getting back on the wagon. Schedule weirdness makes things difficult, but I'm glad you're still working on reaching your goals. You rock!
