15:00 rowing machine
35:00 stationary bicycle
Today I am proud of myself for working out after my long day. I worked 8-5 (I vaguely remember lunch at my desk with my phone on my ear) and then had to be downtown for a MOB (Making OKC Beautiful) event from 5:30-7. I planned ahead and brought my workout clothes with me so I could go to the YMCA just a few blocks from the restaurant.
This was my first time at this location, and I have to say I liked the Downtown Y. My back was sore when I was rowing, but not the "STOP NOW!" type of hurt, so I continued on as planned. I was surprised to find that I could not locate any small free weights for lifting, the lightest being 12 pounds. I was tempted to call it a night at that point as I don't like to use machines for upper body workouts, but instead I decided I was going to get in a full workout by using the stationary bicycles. I didn't get quite the workout I had in mind, but I got in a solid 50 minutes of exercise in spite of all the reasons not to.
Excuses I did not have to write in my "Lame Excuses" journal tonight:
- too busy today
- tired
- too full of food that is less than workout friendly (the Fire Burger anyone?)
- the equipment is different than I am used to
