Exercise Insanity

okay, for the month of May (which ended today):

 

 

29 Runs for 191 miles (6.58/miles average)

46 Gym workouts, with 13 of those being primarily Spartacus workouts

5 Rollerbladings for 56 miles

8 Outdoor Bike Rides for 128 miles

 

88 total Workouts/Activities

 

It's a little shocking to add it all up (and that doesn't include mowing the lawn or other household/yard stuff). I'm not sure what to think about it. whether it's good or bad, whether I can maintain the pace, or actually add onto it.

 

Starting to get some ab definition. yay!

 

Also think I'm getting a rep as a gym bunny as some of the workers have seen me there twice in the same day. I'm generally low key at the gym (no exaggerated grunting or flexing in the mirrors). But I do have one "show off-ie" kinda thing I'm proud of. When I do chinups, I've been lifting extra weight by holding a dumbell with my feet. I've gotten to where I can do 3 sets of 10 pull ups while lifting a 30lb dumbell.

 

And here's the kicker. After doing all that, I gained 3 lbs :blink: .

 

*sigh* off to the gym (hope gym crush is there :lol: )

I made five trips up and down the stairs yesterday with a full basket of laundry each time. That's about all the pace I intend to maintain. :)

 

After a month like that, you deserve cake! Chocolate...big piece...extra frosting. :P

I'm sure it's true that exercise helps you live longer, but when do you find time to enjoy yourself? I can think of only one form of enjoyable exercise. :P

Ummm, wow, that does sound like a lot.

You can't possibly have any fat left in your body, so no wonder you're gaining muscle mass. :lol:

Muscle weighs more than fat dear. If you feel good about exercising and you don't feel bad when you don't manage to get to it in the course of everyday life then it's great. It's healthy and gives you something to do. But if you begin to feel obsessed then you should try to scale back a little, too much exercise can be harmful just like too little.

Lol Mike, exercise is fun for me!

 

When I run, it's usually very social as I'm chatting with the guys. In between sets at the gym, my eyes are usually wandering looking at the guy-candy. It's easier to do so covertly at the gym due to all the mirrors.

Hey, you stud! We need to know more from the gym crush front! ;)

 

 

I wish there was more news/progress on the gym crush front. Don't worry Paya, this will be the first place I'll come running to post if/when anything happens.

I just hope I'm not one of those gym bunnies that the catty queens want to sink their claws into :thumbdown: .
