First things first: Going to the gym wasn't so bad, but it was getting my ass there that was a pain. Once I was there, I did 30 minutes on the treadmill + 5 (cool down), then I was going to call it a night and head home. But I felt compelled to do the weight lifting that has always been part of my workout. So I did the weights - granted that I did not do the 3 reps of 15 that I have always done per machine, but did only one rep. I figure it's a good start considering that it's been a month since I last visited the gym.
A good regular workout in my life sure improves not only my body, but my mind and spirit as well. Not only do the boobies get a little lift, the self-confidence gets one hell of a lift!
Today G and I are going to Arron's (Mari's partner) for a 4th of July celebration that she and Mari are hosting. Arron's family is going to be there. Aside from Shay, Arron's sister, I have never met any of Arron's family, so in a way I'm kind of nervous. But that is nothing new - I have never been a social butterfly. I prefer my own company so any social gathering that involves people that I have never met or do not know, causes my nerves to churn a bit. However, G is in his element - he's a social kind of dude. For him it's about new experiences, something he embraces. So he is looking forward to it more than I am.
And this getting out of the apartment will be good for both of us because he and I have been holed up in it for the past three days and we need interaction of others or at the very least a different environment to break up the monotony - we're starting to get on each others' nerves.
We won't be staying late because I have to be at work for a staff meeting that's set to start at 7:30 am.
I'm already getting a headache just thinking about it.
