went a mighty 22 min on elliptical (1.2 mil, avg 50-60rpm) instead of original 10 min goal.
burned like 250 calories? christ.
pretty much too beat for anything else useful
went up to 80lb reps on leg press.
tried going up to 40lb for arms but not quite ready for that.
would be nice if i could actually see some changes, but i might need to blame that on my steady diet of carbs and cheese. meh.
current mood: sweaty

Energized by NIN ticket and thoughts of Trent's biceps. ahem. Working out at 10pm = empty gym! Watching HGTV on the treadmill = homolicious yet effective.
Treadmill: 1.1 miles, 19 min, 3.6 mph (cardio/manual setting)
I skipped the bike tonight and went for the weights instead. And boy are my arms tired. Also it would help if I knew the names of all the stations...
Leg presses: maybe like 4 sets of 10, 50 lbs?
Quad thingie: 3 sets of 10? at 30 lbs
Arm pulldowns, front and back: a whole bunch. sdfjkl.
Then I did some arm exercise with 5 lb. barbells that I read about in some fitness magazine. A whole bunch of those. My right arm now feels like a limp noodle.
I also want to make some mix cds of good/aggro workout music!! Yet another reason why having an iPod would rule it.
current mood: energetic
current music: rammstein - engel

okay, I'm sore already. Tomorrow I should probably be immobile. Everything felt really difficult tonight so I had to go pretty easy. Probably due to eating hardly anything today.
Bike: 3.75 miles. Not sure about time.
Treadmill: about .6 miles? 3-4mph.
Leg presses: 40 lbs, 4 sets of 10
Arm pulldown thingie: at least 3 sets of 10 @ 40 lbs?

Okay. Have just biked 4 miles. The end is nigh. Goddamn I am in the worst shape ever. My weight, the actual number, is fine. But that's because it's all fat, no muscle. It is not a good sight, let me tell you. Anyway. I know 4 miles isn't much, but it's a start. And when you're as lazy as me, starting is really the hardest part. Also the sticking with it.
The gym is actually really nice. There are bikes, step machines, treadmills, free weights, and a big weight machine thing. Also a sauna. I definitely think I can build up to doing more. But considering the last time I exercised regularly was in 12th grade, some forgiveness is necessary. :)
