Guess what? I went to the gym tonight! It was the first time back in quite a long time, so I took it easy on myself. I did 15 minutes on the elliptical and 17 minutes on the treadmill. I did some crunches for my belly and some stretching and called it good. 32 minutes of activity is better than zero and it felt good to get a little sweaty.
I was extra proud of myself because it's been kind of a weird day and the ending didn't quite go like I planned. For one thing, my new contacts have given me a giant headache because the new prescription for the right eye is not right. I've been having a hard time seeing all day and had to wear my cheater spectacles for the first time in a year. The second thing is that I did not leave the office when I had planned. My thought was to leave work around 5:30 and go right to the gym. I even packed my gym clothes and had them at the office to change into before I left. As it turns out, I chatted with my boss, we'll call him Brian, for quite awhile, then took an important personal call, then finished my conversation with Brian and it was around 7 PM when I left the office.
I'm not gonna lie to you...I considered just going home and starting back to the gym tomorrow, but I didn't do that. I sucked it up and went to the gym. It was so nice and clean and familiar!
About that headache, I called the eye doctor office and told them my problem. I'm going to get a less strong lens, but by the time I left my office, their office was closed. I still have a lens from my old prescription. I'm going to use it tomorrow.
