Rode my bike to work again today. It should not be surprising to anyone to learn that it's much easier to bike five miles when you're not fighting 35-mph winds! Since it's supposed to warm up even more, I'm expecting my ride home to be just as pleasant.

I missed spinning this morning by two minutes. TWO MINUTES. They'd locked the doors on me. Now, the door is as such where you couldn't see me standing there, and the music is so loud no one could hear me knock. I wasn't going to be an ass - I was late, that's what happens. A locked studio door is the universal sign for "No spinning for you, lady." So I did my lower body weights routine for an hour, followed by this super intense cardio routine that my trainer has me doing after each workout, on a specialized treadmill - think inclines that start at 25 and go to 50. Oy. It wasn't that big of a deal, considering I was biking to work today. Still. I was hoping for a spinning class. I got up at 5:30 a.m. for it, after all.

I'm feeling better in the past few days, certainly better than I was when I saw those pictures. I started my period on Sunday, and now that it's Tuesday, I think it's safe to say that my cycle contributed somewhat to my reaction.

Oh! Someone asked the other day about the whole "push/pull" lifting routine I was doing a few weeks ago and asked for a better explanation. I wish I had time to go into it, because I just don't, or that I could find it online to link to it - I looked, I swear. But! This month's issue of Oxygen explains the whole thing so I'd go and pick up a copy. This month's issue is, eh, OK. Maybe just read the magazine from the stand. :)
