Good Workouts, Two Months, & SciFi

Today is Saturday February Sixth Two Thousand Ten. I am pretty psyched with my workout performance today after the bummer day on Friday. I did the elip machine for fifteen minutes as a warm up and then rode the cycle for forty minutes. I felt so fucking dandy that I did this other machine thingy for twenty minutes. Its like a stair climber with handles that you either have to push or pull depending on the setting so it works out both the up and top of your bod. It also has this sweet fan right at face level that is a good addition. So all in all I worked out for seventy five minnys and and maintained a heart rate well above one twenty bbm. Thing is, I totally could have worked out even more but I didn't want to push it further than I already have. I wonder how sore I will be tomorrow but there is always Advil for that. I didn't get out of breath either but was breathing a little heavy towards the end.

I have been working out with a trainer and watching what I eat for two months now and I have lost twenty pounds. That makes two point five pounds a week which is pretty much on par with my goal and the average for people. I will be psyched if in another two months I lose another twenty but something tells me that its going to get harder as time goes on. Losing fifty pounds is quite a bit and if I am able to do it five or six months I would be blown away. I am watching what I eat but by no means am I being totally good about my diet. So, if I start having problems losing the poundage I reckon I will really start eating rocks and twigs for most of my meals. I fit into the pair of jeans I bought a size too small and while they were a bit tight but I was able to fit into them. I can honestly say that I am proud of myself at this point and how much work I have put into my life. All those early mornings dragging myself to the gym are starting to pay dividends. The only time in my life I have to compare this to is when I was skiing for CSC and getting in shape thru dry land training. The thing is that I wasn't sixty pounds overweight at that point, I think I had about twenty extra at that time. Seems like for the past ten years I consistently weighed two twenty to two thirty pounds and its going to be great to wave goodbye to those and these days.

So I had dinner at the Arlington Diner tonight and once again had super crappy service. It seems like once breakfast is over they bring in the "C" team who don't know the first thing about pretending to give a shit about their customers even tho that isn't the case. Anyway, after a good meal with mediocre service I walked down to the Capitol Theater with the intention of seeing Avatar. I decided that I really didn't want to spend a few hours watching blue lizard people dance around on the screen. Other than the first "Star Wars" movies and the "Battlestar Galactica" TV series I am not really a sci-fi fan and have always avoided the genre. Yeah, I am sure all the three d shit is cool up after seeing the smooshed flying eyeball in Friday The 13th III-3D that stuff is pretty much ruined for me. That was awesome, the psycho living dead dude "Jason" was squeezing this guys head and then after a few moments his eyeball goes flying out towards the audience. It was so real I moved my head to the side so I wouldn't get eyeball goo on me. Awesome.

My solitary roommate told me this afternoon that she has joined a SciFi club. I am really happy for her because she doesn't do jack shit with other people and perhaps she will meet some more friends which I think she desperately needs. I would imagine a xx chromo scifi club member would be a hot commodity. Even if that doesn't happen I am sure she will make some new friends and maybe work on her obvious social awkwardness. I was just thinking about people who are dicks to others they don't know when I was walking back from the mbta today. Thats something I just don't understand, why be an asshole to someone just because you don't know them ? How the hell do people like that make friends if they think everyone is a dick ? My downstairs neighbors are like that. It seems to me that many people graduate from college and have their crew of friends from there and are very suspicious to anyone outside their social circle. Weird. I am even nice to people I think are dicks because its much easier to be nice to someone than to be a dick to them. Dunno, maybe I am just a sucker to be nice to everyone.
