The boys are back to school and with that comes a new routine with more "me" time. I'm sooo looking forward to getting back to the gym, you guys! I took a walk around the neighborhood today and decided I am not one of those outdoorsy walking/running people. I seriously just love going to the gym. Its my thing. I write down my workout plan in my little notebook. I fill up my water bottle; take my pre-workout supplement and my BCAAs. I drive the 3 minutes to the gym and walk in and always feel like a celebrity when the employees greet me.
Hello! Yes, hi, hello. You are my people and this is my place.
I go to the bathroom and get my music going (I listen to the same thing every single time) and make sure my clothes are still as decent as they were at home. I have a paranoia about the crotch of workout pants blowing out for some reason.
Usually around now my pre-workout kicks in and I have to refrain from doing kung fu moves on my way out of the bathroom.
Do you see? Going for a walk outside just doesn't do it for me. And thankfully my gym is small so there aren't a bunch of meatheads or idiots in there (usually, anyway .. if there happen to be a bunch of preening males hogging the weight room I make a note of the date and time in my notebook so I know not to go back around then).
Its my happy place. And I can't wait to get reacquainted! Which I will be doing at 5:30am tomorrow so I'd better get to bed.
