I do again find myself in a situation where I feel like blogging, but I don't really know what to write about; so I guess this is just going to be a sort of.. Post thing, where I just write whatever comes to my mind, not necessarily in a chronological order or anything. Just stuff from my brain!
One of my good friends; Elisa, has actually managed to convince me to go to our school's gym. It is actually called a "test centre" and is sometimes used in subjects as PE, biology and biotechnology, but is free to use for all of the students. It isn't really a big gym, but it is really well equipped, especially considering that it is a normal high school. There are several weight thingies (look how much I know about this stuff... Sigh -.-) for strength training, bikes, cross trainers and treadmills for cardio and mats and other things for a lot of other exercises.
I went there with Elisa yesterday, and today. Yesterday there were quite a lot of people in there, among them some seniors who were rehearsing some sort of series for PE I guess? The students are free from school to study for their exams right now, so there's a lot of time to use the gym. We started out following Elias's program. She has this sort of plan for squats (are they called that? Is that even a word???), so it was a little hard for me to start out doing 120 squats (seriously, what are they called? Help me out here!). Before you judge my inability to do squats, keep in mind that I am a lazy ass person who have just started exercised! That you are allowed to judge me for, cause I know that that is too god damn bad!
Today we (Elisa and I) had arranged to meet up, at the gym, with a guy from my class called Marcus. Marcus used to drive BMX and do quite some heavy weight lifting, and even though he complained about being "out of shape" he still lifted quite a lot. I am sure that you guys don't think that about 14 kilos are a lot, but it still baffled Elisa and I. Seriously guys, some of the dudes that use the school's gym are fucking machines! There was a dude lifting about 110 or 120 kilos at bench, and THAT IS A FUCKING LOT! The "worst" part was that he didn't look like he was dying, as Elisa so gently put it.
These two days have mostly been muscle, which is fine by me, since I really want to built up some muscle, I am sick and tired of hearing myself complaining about my own laziness, so I actually feel quite amazing for getting my ass up from my bed thing, and actually going. I have to admit that I am still taking the scooter to the school, but I think that I have to start riding my bicycle, that is a bit of training as well ;-)
I had Helene over to some girls stuff and lunch yesterday, after I was at the gym, and it turned from a lunch, to dinner, to her sleeping over. It was really nice, and We had a great time. After dinner We shared a cup of chocolate/browny ice cream, and even though I enjoyed it while eating, I couldn't help but feel really disgusting for eating so much ice cream! Ugh, I'll just have to work it off ;-)
At the gym today I experienced actually laughing when I managed to 5 pushes with the leg push thingy (I honestly have no idea what the fuck it's called in English?!) with 100 kilos. 100 FREAKING KILOS! I don't know what you guys are used, but for me it was both hard as fuck and totally one of the most awesome things I have forced myself into recently!
When I stood out of bed this morning I really felt my thighs.. Like, really! It wasn't so bad that I couldn't walk, and I just bad to walk it off. I felt it again when I sat down for breakfast, but it isn't bad. When I got to the gym, and did squats, this time with weights (only 27,5 kilos though), I could quite clearly feel that I had used my legs the day before. Also when I did the leg press thing, my legs started shaking. It looked absolutely crazy, but I freaking did it! I feel so awesome for pulling myself together to do this! Wuhuu, you go girl!
This became a post about the gym, hope you can live with it, because you kind of have to if you actually read till down here, you go guuurl! ;-)
