It Was a Dark and Stormy Night….
I’m sitting at my desk in my home office as the snow flies and the wind blows. I’ve been stuck in the house all day, waiting out the storm. They call it a blizzard, but I’ve seen much worse. It’s supposed to be over tomorrow morning, then the clean up begins. On the bright side, that’s means some fresh air and cardio.
It’s Friday night, the one night of my week when nothing stands in the way of me getting to the gym. Nothing except the weather. I went last night in anticipation of the storm, and I’ve had a great week. All the same, its Friday night and it just doesn’t feel right to be sitting around at home. My mind is at the gym even though my body can’t be.
About half an hour ago I had a bright idea. No reason why I can’t do some abs exercises right here, right now. I layed on the floor, put my feet up on a chair, and did two sets of 50 crunches. That was followed by two sets of 25 side bends holding a 3 lb. dumbbell, and then two sets of fify standing twists, holding a broomstick behind my head. Felt great to do something positive for my body!
I’ll get back to the gym for a good workout over the weekend, but for the moment I’m satisfied. It seems like the more I exercise, the more I want to exercise! I take that to be a sign that my body is responding well to my clean diet and consistent workouts! Time now to snuggle under the covers to wait out the storm, get a good 8 hours of muscle-growing sleep, and hopefully dream of workouts to come!
