Oh it was not a pleasant sight this morning when my alarm went off at 6:30am. It felt as if I had just went to bed and to make matters worse it was freezing outside. All that I wanted to do was stay curled up in my nice warm bed. I’m sorry but I thought winter was over and we were headed into spring, not the polar arctic. I’ve learned though, due to cases like this morning, that I have to set two alarms to make sure that I get out of bed and not just hit the snooze button. So I set my alarm clock next to my bed and I also set the alarm on my phone which I leave on my desk. That way I have to get out of bed to turn the alarm on my phone off. It was quite the scene as I was angrily staring at my phone hoping that if I wished it hard enough my mind would just turn the alarm off. Alas, it did not, so I kicked the blankets off, turned the alarm off and got ready for the gym.
I met my buddy Helene this morning and we both walked to the gym. So while I was working out with JC she was doing some cardio on her own. It feels great to go to the gym with a friend. It really motivates you when you go with someone. As far as my session with JC went, more upper body, focusing on my back, shoulders and arms. I’ll be dammed, but I am getting some upper body strength. On my mark test I did two chin ups without weight assistance. JC seems to think that in a month I will be able to do six chin ups, and you know what, I think he is right. It really is mind over matter when it comes to working out. Sometimes, your mind can say no when your body still has strength in it to push forward. So for me, I have learned to push through the pain and keep going until I physically can’t go anymore. After showering and changing, I headed into the office to do some extras casting. I started prep on the season finale of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Hard to believe that there is only one episode left of season 12 before we wrap. Here is hoping that we are picked up for a season 13.
Well the night ended with a nice home cooked meal at the Taylors. We enjoyed a healthy beet salad with some roast chicken and herb roasted potatoes. We enjoyed nice conversation and some laughing at Keenan Cahill videos on YouTube. If you haven’t heard of this fifteen year old, I highly recommend checking him out on YouTube. Type in his name and you will see what I am talking about. All kidding aside, we laughed so hard, but good for Keenan! These videos have lead to a guest appearance by 50 cent, and to a commercial with Jennifer Aniston. He must be doing something right. Well, I am ready for bed. I am meeting Helene in the morning for some cardio before work and I still have to pack my lunch and snacks for work. Till tomorrow.
