Welcome to the world of exhaustion.

We went to the gym Tuesday night and Chad decided that he wanted to do more cardio which meant that he would do a half hour set of cardio, half hour set of weights, and another half hour set of cardio. Seeings as how I was there with him kinda meant I had to do an hour of cardio as well. Ok I can handle that I guess.

So for the first set I did the exercise bike because I am lazy and you get to sit down. Burned 160 calories doing that for half an hour. Next we went to our weight sections and did our thing. Next was the new half hour of cardio. So in knowing that you have to sign up for a machine I took a break from the weights and went to look for a machine that would be free at 8. I wanted to do something different but that was still low impact for my knees and I chose this machine that looked like Tony Littles Gazelle. So I got on it and did my thing and I was sweating like I never have before. Holy crap was that a work out. I ended up burning another 265 calories on that machine which blew my mind. Over 400 calories gone. Insane.

I was so tired after that work out that I fell asleep instantaneously. When I woke up yesterday my legs were so sore it hurt to walk. This meant yesterday was a very hard day to get through.

Birthday Cupcake

I didn't do anything exciting yesterday. Alicia got be a big cupcake and I spent the majority of the day reading "Happy Birthday" posts on my Facebook wall. It was weird but it didn't really feel like my birthday yesterday.

Had a family dinner last night and then Chad and I spent the rest of the night being lazy on the couch because we were both still so tired from our gym work out.

Chad didn't get me anything for my birthday.

Ok well actually, I'm pretty sure he did but I don't get it 'till tomorrow. We both have the day off and are doing a bunch of fun things in and around the city. I am so looking forward to sleeping in and then running around all day. Today is my Friday.

There is still nothing to do at work and so I am stuck here for another day trying to make it go by quickly.

I can not wait till tomorrow! Gifts and yummi food and hanging out. Is it 5:00 yet?
