where I go to bed at 1:00 a.m. and get up the following morning at 6:45 a.m. Why is that, you ask? Because it’s 11:40 p.m. and I just got home from the gym about 5 minutes ago. Once this post is finished, I have to take a quick shower, take my contacts out, wash my face, brush my teeth, floss, use the dental pick, then mouth wash. Yet there’s more; moisturizer on the face, neck and feet. Finally, I can go to sleep. That entire process takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Even after all of that, I don’t generally fall asleep right away. Working out helps, though. After the workout, I hobble down those 3 flights of stairs at the gym, across the street and down that entire block and a half, then up another flight of stairs to my apartment. Spell binding, isn’t it?
I’ve got a new regime at the gym. Rather than the usual 45 to 55 minutes of cardio that I’ve been holding to for several years, I’m now bumping it up to an hour and 15 minutes. That extra 20 to 30 minutes is kicking my butt, thus far, at least. It’s pretty much all cardio. I used to have two other favorite ab machines, which they removed. That “captain’s chair” machine made me pull a muscle, so I’ve never used it again! Sometimes I get crazy and use that leg lift machine. Now I’m considering the one where you lock your feet into place and bend forward from the waist down. You must be bored, so let me get straight to the Musical Monday song choice.
Believe it or not, this is the song that’s been going through my head all day. Don’t ask me why, since I usually listen to Hawaiian radio stations on my nifty Android every day to and from work. On occasion, I listen to hip hop. Anyways, here goes… (My apologies to anyone who’s offended by it; this isn’t my usual Musical Monday genre. The words may seem pretty offensive, but I gotta’ get it out of my head.)
