I got up and walked down to the gymnasium at 6:30 am on Friday. Why? Because if I don't go first thing in the day I'm going to end up putting it off and putting it off and putting it off until it's too late to go. It's surprisingly busy at that time in the morning. The entrance to the gym (it's only a small one) is *in front* of all the cardio machines, where everyone seems to be- so everyone can see you walk in. The free weights are right at the front, so it's like having an audience. I don't see myself using those any time soon, at least not with some kind of gym buddy (and where am I going to find someone to go to the gym with me at that time in the morning?)
Made a bee-line for the backroom- no jokes please- where the weight-lifting gimmicky machines are. Great workout- sweaty, pushed myself as far as I could go, then finished off on cross-trainer.
The locker room was empty (hahaha!) so I decided to have a shower. After all, I still had a whole day's work ahead of me. So there I am, showering (I apologize for any mental trauma) when this old woman walks in, and beings cleaning the showers WHILE I AM STILL IN THERE!
Anyway, dealt with that embarassing incident with the pervy old woman and walked to work- had a reasonably good day energy wise. A bit tired, but that's because I'm not used to waking up so early any more.
Come 7 O'clock I'm back down at the fitness centre, in a Tai Chi class. All I'm going to say is that I need to work on my balance and co-ordination, and that my knees were aching all day saturday.
Free Day today, food-wise. Last night was an alcohol and wordgames night at one of our neighbours' houses- had a lot of fun. Tomorrow (or even this evening) I'm going to be careful about what I'm eating again. I'm getting frankly sick of crisps (americans read: chips)- the salty taste on the tongue, the feeling that they're not really giving anything useful to your body...I don't really know why the hell I eat them in the first place but it's unlikely I'm going to eat them again any time soon.

Tai Chi is a fantastic exercise. I've been doing it for years and would recommend it to anyone.
So you're not trying to be anonymous with this then? That's good.
I noticed you took one of April's suggestions for a title. ;)
