Purpose and Possibility

I’ve been getting back into my groove for the most part.  I haven’t done any morning cardio for the last week though.  I can’t seem to get my butt to bed at a decent hour on the week nights.  So try as I might, 5:15 a.m. just ain’t happening unless I get at least 7 hours of sleep.   However, doing cardio after weights in the evening is especially excruciating for me (almost like an exorcism), so that should help me break my bad habit soon enough. 

I’m still searching for a trainer and figuring out the best way to make this work since I just took a pay cut at work.  I was happy to take the cut to help save my colleagues (many, not all) from layoffs, but it definitely eats into my fun money. 

My ankle is doing a lot better, but not 100%.  Still having issues with range of motion.  I constantly have to remind myself to pace it and not try to push it too hard.  No squats or lunges yet, but I’m finding new and creative ways to work my legs.  The "Butt Blaster" is actually pretty cool, albeit a little embarrassing.   

Current split:

Mondays-Legs & Abs

Tuesays-Back, Tri’s, Shoulders

Wednesdays-Cardio & Core

Thursdays-Legs

Friday-Chest, Bi’s. Abs

Saturday-Cardio

Sunday-Rest, walk on the beach =)

Gripe: I have accepted the fact that the free weight area smells pretty funky most of the time.  I swear if someone lights a match in there we will surely go up in flames.  I have accepted the fact that some people sweat profusely and don’t bother to wipe down the machines when they are done.  I have even learned to just get over the fact that some people are too lazy and inconsiderate to rack their weights.  However, what I can not deal with is when people wear dirty clothes to the gym.  You know the ones the smell like they were taken out the bottom of the hamper then worn every day in succession for a week without being washed.  I literally almost barfed & fell off the bike last night when this particular person walked past me several times.  How can he not know that he stinks…correction: wreaks?   I’m tempted to slip him a package with some Tide and quarters in it.
