What a cold, gross, wet day. I feel like I can’t get warm
with all the furnace mishaps happening around me lately. I looked forward to
getting to the gym and having a solid weight session to warm me up.
It was busier than usual today at the gym but the only
equipment that was hard to get were the treadmills and ellipticals, so I wasn’t
affected. No aches or pains today from yesterday’s run and I’m glad I listened
to some good advice (will continue to do so). The better portion of my workout
was focused on legs – leg presses, curls, lifts, kicks, squats squats and more
squats. For upper body I challenged myself by throwing in some push ups – kind of
a big deal because I can’t remember when I last did did them. Holding
my planks is finally becoming easier and my times are getting longer and my
core is improving, which will really help out the training. Overall, it was a
really great workout but one which will likely leave me a little bit delicate
tomorrow.
So, I’m a major big fan of surprises, I’m not gonna lie.
Today I received one in the form of a copy of T-Swift’s new cd! Such a
thoughtful and unexpected gesture by a co-worker which made me act in a way that
the rest of the office laughed at my craziness. She also knows how
technologically inclined I am and that yes, I still use cds. I was so happy to
blare T all the way to the gym and then home again. And now in my office. With
the weather being so grim and me being so darn cold lately, this sweet act definitely
warmed my heart.
I feel inspired now to surprise someone or do a random act
of kindness. Even something silly like a pack of gum that nobody else but me
would appreciate or an early morning text telling someone to have a beautiful
day. Maybe drop off a care package full of someone’s favourite things to cheer them
up. Just something to make someone feel as good as I did in one simple moment
today.
