Notes: Finally dragged my sad dumpy ass to the gym! I wanted to be sure to do my weight training, and skimped on cardio in favor of it. I tried to step it up though! I would alternate between machines during my reps, this makes me more likely to rest one muscle group for the full minute while working another. When I wasn't jumping between machines I did some floor work: push-ups, planks, crunches! My heart rate stayed up more too. I am glad I made it to the gym, but all in all I still feel depressed and sluggish today. Totally hit the breakfast leftovers at work (ahem, cinnamon cake, you win!) I am blaming the weather & humidity, forgetting my second cup of tea, and oh yeah.... just general malaise concerning my life. IN GENERAL. Blah!!!
