I'm way frazzled today. I don't know why. I just can't think straight. I desperately need a nap.
Hit the gym and upped my weights by five pounds, so I'm now doing 30lb curls, 50lb shrugs, and so forth. Felt totally beat up by the time I was done, but in a good way. What little fat I have seems to be fading, but slowly, and the muscles I'm building underneath aren't manifesting as much as I'd like. Still, for 30 minutes three times a week, it's good progress.
My gym is all fortysomethings like me, most of them probably terribly het, trying desperately to build their muscle mass before that capability fades away. It's not cruisy at all. I find that disappointing, especially on days like today when I forget my MP3 player and I'm subjected to the relentlessly cheerful Muzak for the Queer Eye Guy soundtrack that seems to be the owner's own choice.
