Quick Monday Check in

Because I really need to work, and not play, today's post will be in bullets.

Lazy, yes?  Smart, also yes.

• The weight in: still have to do that, but I think I'm down 3.  This morning was hectic, Chris was still asleep, I was running late and the scale was under his side of the bed.  Will post tomorrow. (ed note: down 2.5 for a total of 165.5, holler!)
• Diet:  logged all my food, tried not to eat my "gym" calories (I guess I would call them activity points if I was doing WW).  Tried to make better choices over the weekend, hopefully I succeeded, minus the Thin Mints (damn you Girl Scouts of America!!!) and movie popcorn (damn you butter!).
• Pros: cooked all my breakfasts and dinners (except one), lunches were chopped salads.  Ate out only on weekend - Glenn's for breakfast, Thai and dinner with my parents.
• Cons: shitty attitude at work on Fri got me in a little bit of trouble.  Opps.  Lessons learned!
• Workouts: swam just over 400M, spin class, weights,  ran 3x - 2, 3 milers and a 5 miler.

And I just signed up for the Brooklyn Half! Wahooooo!

New Gym!

Holy Moley, I joined a new gym.  Like a real globo gym with sales people and everything.  It was weird and I felt icky, but I'm pretty happy about it now and I'm done feeling all guilty for leaving my gym of 8 years.  I've only been a handful of times but so far so good.  I swam twice and took a spin class and LOVED it! Sometimes change is good!

Being back in the pool has been pretty cool.  I love swimming and if I'm going to"tri" this summer I need to get my swim on.  The pool is 25 meters, 3 lanes, clean and not too crowded.  Last night I swam 40 laps with ease.  I was mainly working on form and breathing, speed will come, so will the distance. 

Tonight I go back for a session with the trainer.  He'll do all that body fat stuff that I'm dreading and show me some machines.  I'm pretty ok with my strength training, but I feel like I have no idea where anything is, this place is huge!  I guess I'm most excited about the in depth tour.  This guy also knows that I was a Crossfitter so we are planning on really utilizing the free weight section which is cool.  I've heard a lot of Crossfitters talk about how "globo" gyms hate on the Crossfit methodology and don't want they members doing any of the wods.  I'm not sure I'm going to bust out a huge complex wod, but it's nice to know I can still do clean and jerks and stuff like that.

Overall I'm really happy with this new place.  I'm excited to spend time there and I'm even more relived about my decision to quit CF. 

In addition to all the swimming and spinning last week, I also ran a bunch.  Running partner and I cleared 3 miles Wednesday and Sunday I ran 4 before my best day ever.  After the gym tour I'm planning on a speed session on the 'mill. 

Oh, and the food has been pretty good too!!
