Dad was hear last weekend, and it was great to see him. He stayed here at my place, well, technically its his, lol. It was super nice not to have to take the metro to see him and then make my way back home though.
In any case, while he was here, I got quite a bit done:
-I got a new back up hard drive for my computer since my old one died
-we went shopping
-we played with ipads
-we ate lots of yummy meals
-I got to just hang out with my family
Finally, we also went to the gym. By that, I don't mean we worked out. I mean we went and toured the place....and I signed up for a membership! Even better, Dad is paying for it for the year! I was always planning on joining, but not until I had a steady paycheck for a while. Now however, I have the membership, woohoo! Last night I used that membership for the first time, and I really enjoyed it. I had forgotten how competitive I am with myself. By that I mean while I was on the elliptical, my plan was to do it for about 20 minutes as I haven't worked out in ages. But while I was on it, I kept thinking, burn this many more calories, go this distance, make it to this time, well, burn this many more calories since you made it this far, well, since you have gone this far, work it 5 more minutes, etc. Even after 30 minutes, I felt like I could keep going, but I also didn't want to kill myself my first day back at the gym, so I stopped. All in all, it was a good cardio workout :-) After that, I did some crunchies and stretches. It was a good workout and I think I am going to go back tomorrow. My overall goal is to run a half marathon next year with Dad. First though, I must get into shape, hence the starting out on the elliptical.
Wish me luck!
