Put Some Dang Clothes On!

Workout: 30 minutes elliptical / 50 crunches


I know y'all are probably sick of hearing me talk about Glee! but it's so dang addicting. I seriously didn't want to stop the elliptical at 30 minutes today. In fact looking back... I don't know why I did. Hehe. I probably won't next time. I was having a lazy day, and wasn't even going to go to the gym..... then I realized if I didn't go, I couldn't see the final Britney number.

No gym = No Glee! It's a rule.


I'm so glad I went. They performed one of my all-time favorite songs "Only the Good Die Young" by Billy Joel the Glee! cast. Which means I was making a total fool of myself on the elliptical again.


Sigh. 


Then it was time to sit around on the internet in my smelly, sweaty gym clothes take a shower. Eventually. I mean. No rush. You know what taking a shower in a public locker room is? Take that, with 1/10 the space, and you've got where I have to take every single shower for 7 months. So forgive me for not really being in a rush.

Like today, I walked into the bathroom, and there in full naked glory is a girl in NO RUSH WHATSOEVER to get dressed. I mean, I'm not a prude, but when I have like 4 inches of space to squeeze by you and all your girly parts, I'd much rather you be clothed in a towel, than your birthday suit. 


It's not your party. And you can't parade around naked if ya want to.


Do you get annoyed by people hanging out naked in public locker rooms?


I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not hiding behind closed doors just take off my sports bra, but I try to limit the nudity to as brief a time as possible. I know we're all girls (or guys depending), but modesty goes a long way in my book. 


Do you have a show that your are OBSESSED with, and thus limit yourself to only being able to watch it at the gym?


I have many shows I'm obsessed with. Glee! is the first one I've put such restrictions on, but I think I might continue to use this method. Tis very effective.

African Zombie Apocalypse ....... Or Not

Workout: 30 minutes weights (chest/back) / 30 minutes elliptical / 50 crunches / 30 minutes laughter


WHEW. I seriously love Glee. I think I burned an extra 50 calories laughing tonight alone. It was amazing. I will be super sad when I run out of episodes! Or.... I'll just find something new to distract me. I'm loving working out this week. I don't know what it is, but I feel like I'm just getting a better workout in. My arms and chest feel like jello (I even had trouble lifting my arms in the shower this morning. WIN.) and my legs are sore (good sore!) and I couldn't be happier. What is it about exercise that turns us all into masochists? :)

Tonight the living quarters on base (think metal shipping containers. I'm not kidding.) lost power. Not really that big of a deal, especially since the internet stayed up for like an hour (I'm still confused on that one) afterwards, so I could still stalk use Facebook to my heart's content. (I'm what my best friends and I call an ELITE LURKER. I love Facebook, especially pictures. Even more so when I'm on boring deployments and the only thing saving my sanity is the internet and the gym. Which resulted in..... BLOGGING. :)


Anyways. I got off track. So then after the power goes out I realize I have to go to the bathroom SUPER BAD. Not that big a deal, except it's pitch black. I grab my flashlight and we're off. 


No, the bathrooms are not connected, and yes you have to go outside to get to them. It makes for a very grouchy Katy in the middle of night when I have to pee because I've drank 1000 oz of water that day, and I can't find my shoes in the dark.


So I walk in the pitch black bathroom (also a converted shipping container) and immediately feel as if I have been transported into a Resident Evil game. It was CREEPY.Throw in the fact that the bathroom doors don't lock, and zombies anyone can just waltz on in, and you've got me with the heebie-jeebies.


Dead silence + dark bathroom + no door locks = Katy thinking of every scary movie scenario she's ever watched.

LOVELY. 


Of course the scariest thing that ACTUALLY happened was the person who left without washing their hands (this is gross and unsanitary in America, but HERE that should be punishable but torture law.) and I escaped back to my pitch black room unscathed.

Have you ever been in a creepy power outage situation before?


Normally I OWN power outages and have like every person I know over and we have a blast. But, like everything else, this place takes the fun and makes it lame.


Do you judge people when you see them leave the bathroom without washing their hands?


I do. Immediately. It's just gross. 

Glee-ful Workout

I totally went to the gym this morning. Because of all of your comments! I knew I couldn't back down.

THANKS!

I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, and watched the first episode in Season 2 of Glee. Holy WOW. The minutes flew by like WHOA. I now have my new cardio show. It was amazing. I needed the show to get me through, since I was soooooo tired. That show rocks my socks.

MY NEWS. About that.

I was ging to tell everyone that I could start my my 2 week PAIN-FREE countdown to when I would start running again. (That was my deal with myself. Two whole weeks pain free, and I can run. Not until then.) BUT. My leg tonight is still feeling some pain. So the countdown hasn't started yet.

There is still good news. My leg IS healing. I can feel it. And I think I will be starting my countdown pretty soon. :) So I'm still positive!
