when to go to the gym?

I’ve been trying to come up with an effective strategy for going to the gym. Because my work hours are so inconsistent, I don’t feel comfortable with going to the gym when I get home from work. This is mainly because I would end up going anytime between 5:30 and 7pm which are really busy times and I don’t think I would be able to find free machines. Nonetheless, this may be my only option. My other thought is to try to go in the mornings. However, I’ve tried to do that two of three times now with disastrous results. I don’t think my body is able to handle lots of exertions early in the morning. The first time I tried to work out in the morning I felt like I was going to have to throw up. The second time I actually did. The third time I ate some breakfast first and took it easy for an hour before going to the gym. I still felt like I was going to throw up.

Nonetheless, I’ve decided to try to wake up earlier to see if I can adjust my body for it and then try to work out. For this morning I set my alarm to 5am instead of 7am like I’ve been doing. Unfortunately I ended up hitting the snooze button like ten times and didn’t get up until 7am and didn’t get to work until 8am. Maybe I’ll have better luck next week.

As the week progressed I tried to think about what I want to do this weekend. I tried to see if Craig could drive out here but it didn’t work out. I also looked into the idea of going out of town but with my heavy workload and full flights, I figured I better stay in town since I knew I’d be working late today. Instead the local weather looks really pleasant this weekend. I’m planning on going hiking to Raven Cliff Falls Saturday or Sunday. I’m learning more towards Sunday now because it will be sunnier and slightly warmer on Sunday. My plan is to get up really early and drive out towards the trailhead taking photographs along the way if the scenery is nice.

Today was yet another very busy day. I did manage to complete a lot of the work I need to accomplish for our build next week. I’m also planning on doing some work from home tomorrow and Sunday. I didn’t leave work until about 6:30 today.

After I got home and got settled in, Craig called to chat about what happened with Michele. He told me now that it is over I should consider trying to find someone on Lavalife.

For a few hours this evening I played Asheron’s Call 2. I managed to get Noke to level 36. Before I logged off I was sitting in Ikaras playing different instruments with five other Lugians:

I also compiled the past two months of statistics into my Sojourn 3 statistics page.
