Thursday started out well, ended badly

Yesterday I woke up, took my antibiotics, talked to Bridgett briefly on MSN, ate my cereal, then walked to campus to watch the Japan-Denmark game. YES, Japan kicked butt so much. They're going to the next round! I then took the bus to the public library because it was so damn hot, and texted Mandy to ask if she would like to go to the gym later.

Unfortunately I missed the bus at 5:14pm so I had to walk back to campus with my laptop, powercord and assorted other things in my backpack. In the sweltering 28Celsius still heat. Blargh. I was already pretty tired when I met Mandy, but it is true that it's harder to beg off working out when you've got a buddy with you. She went to the pool/sauna whereas I tromped to the gym.

( Exercise, yay! )

By the time I got home, I was really hungry. I figured "Why not try making steak for the first time? I love steak. Steak is yummy. Steak is meat. Steak is full of protein and by God, I need yummy, protein-filled meat right now." I looked up instructions on using the broiler/making steak, and I called Matt for good measure.

( I fail at steak cooking )

It is disturbing feeling queasy yet still hungry. :S I managed to go to sleep around 4am, and woke up today around 11am. I'm feeling a bit better, though being in air-conditioned buildings and then walking out in the heat is disturbing me up. Grrr. I forgot my hoodie, too.

Exercises for today

I didn't go to the gym today to give my body rest from Thursday's workout. However, Matt had loaned me a set of 3lbs dumbbells. I used them in the apartment today. They've been lying around since spring semester, either in my dorm room or here. *feels a bit guilty for not using them more*

I started doing my exercises while watching the end of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. (No offense to people who love the movie, but I found it boring and dragging. I can appreciate it as a novelty for its full-length animated feature, though. I'm spoiled by the contemporary animated films.) Since I used 5lbs weights at the gym, I doubled some of the exercises for my 3lbs weights.

June 25, 2010 – Friday
2x10 –Alternating Bicep Curls – 3lbs
1x10 – Dumbbell Rows – 3lbs
2x10 – Dumbbells Tricep Extensions – 3lbs
1x10 – Shoulder Shrugs – 3 lbs
2x10 – Front Raise – 3lbs
1x10 – Calf raise –3lbs
2x10 – Lunges – 3lbs

I'm still unsure whether I'm going to the gym tomorrow. It'd make sense, though the gym is likely to be more busy since it's the weekend. Well, we're see how the day turns out. I'm planning on watching the USA-Ghana game at least, and hopefully visiting Farmer's Market before that. Either way, I hope to feel a sense of accomplishment with tomorrow. :-)
