New Leaf: More Gym Time

So yesterday I went back to the gym. Mainly to try to not think about everything that’s pissing me off. Blow off some steam and all that.

I tried that bike machine again and set it to a much higher resistance than last time. I told the machine to keep my heart rate at 156, which felt like it was going to explode. I have no idea if that’s safe for a out of shape, chain smoker, that hadn’t eat yet that day, but whatever. For 30 minutes I biked up what felt like the steepest hill on the planet.

Despite my legs shaking after the first 30 minutes I jumped on a treadmill because I still wasn’t exhausted. I set it to a steep incline and did that for another 15 minutes or so. I stopped after that because it was getting crowded in there, and that many stinky brethren along with music I did not want to listen to, was making me even more agitated.

Unfortunately this didn’t tire me out like it did the day before, so sleep did not come quickly. The upside of this? Genetics have given me fat free, muscular legs, which are now getting a nice tan. Despite not having been used more than to carry me over very short distances in the last 15 years, they don’t feel sore at all. I’ve also lost a little over 20 lbs and am now weighing in at 185 lbs. I eat one meal a day, because I have no appetite and force myself, chain smoking and exercise - this is a great diet. Better than the Atkins, it’s the Alkins.

Sign-up now and I’ll send you a weeks starter package. Includes: A carton of cigs, seven frozen pene-pasta dinners and a black rock that you can pretend is whatever pisses you off the most.
