Yet another attempt to do something about my sad physical condition began today... I completed my routine in just under 35 minutes and hit most of my goals. I consider that pretty good since, I havn't touched the bowflex in several months.

I'm determined to stick with it this time... I've put on some weight since I got the desk job, but that in itself doesn't bother me so much — heck, it's arguable that I needed it! What gets me is that if I rush up the three flights of stairs leading to my apartment, I feel it! It's amazing how much of a difference sitting at a desk 8 hours a day makes vs. running up and down an 6 stories of Movie Theater. :: sigh ::

In any case, the immediate plan is to work out on the bowflex every other day. As I get more into that routine, i think I will add 30 minutes of treadmill down on the apt. gym on the off days. Now here's the kicker... I'm going to try and do all of this before work.

For those of you who know me and know my usual sleep pattern, stop laughing. I'm actually much less of a night owl these days. Now that I can actually get some time to relax after work w/o staying up way past the point of exhaustion, I go to bed at a more reasonable time, and rest much better. Consequently, I routinely wake up in the morning without an alarm.

With the increase in free time, less stress, and a lot less wasted time sleeping I sometimes I wonder how different life would've been if I hadn't taken the job at the theater. Having said which, I would've in no way had the money to take care of my teeth, live with Joanne, and finish school — none of which I would trade. I guess there is some truth is the saying that, "timing is everything."
