Work Out Wednesday: The Gimp Edition

Last night I slept poorly. Every time I moved, the blanket would touch my arm, and it would wake me up. It's heeling, but it's still tender.

I ditched out on all exercise yesterday and took a rest day. My Bachelor Workout friends were busy again anyway, so we rescheduled for tonight. I cooked a nice dinner and cleaned up the house instead.

-------------------------------

Today my trainer and I talked about:
-my elbow. He pretended to lick it, then told me not to get it near him in case it oozed on him.
-Tosh.0. I gave him the low down on behind the scenes stuff from last night's episode
-Dating sites. He's single now ladies. Ooooohhhhh!
-1,000 Ways To Die. He recorded 30 episodes and tried to watch them all. HAHAHHAH.


My exercises:

15 chest presses (smith machine)

mini weigh in Wednesday: down 3.5lbs from last week's 5lb weight gain. I knew it was all that buffalo chicken sodium. And I'm sure the giant bag of beef jerky I bought at Costco on Monday isn't helping my cause either. But, as long as I'm back to my normal weight (well, 1.5lbs off, which is close enough for me) I can go back to not caring.
----------------------

I keep forgetting to pick up my bike from the bike shop. But, it's their fault, really. They said they would call, so I turned the "remember" part of my brain off. Did they call? NO. I'm pretty sure it's because they think I'm some sort of mongoloid, and decided to keep my awesome bike. I'm not good with people, okay? Especially when it comes to subjects I'm not familiar with. Sure, I called the clip in pedals "foot things for, um, bike shoes?" But I still deserve a phone call when my bike is done!

--------------------

I'm walking a line here, with the elbow, between injury and excuse. Okay, so it hurts. Beyond the wound there's some bruising. So, as I told my trainer this morning, I won't be doing anything that requires pressure on my forearm.

So, is it legitimate to write off yoga for another week? Because I'm pretty sure I'd spend half my time modifying poses if I went.

But, is it really a good excuse? Am I just being a wuss?

I have one more weight training session, two runs, and a fancy work out seminar planned for the rest of the week. Oh, plus the Bachelor Workout. That should be enough.

But, when am I ever going to fit yoga in? I really do want to work on my flexibility. Maybe next week, maybe next week. It's hard to be objective with my schedule when my main complaint is that I'm not getting enough tv time.

How do you figure out the difference being knowing your body and being a wuss?
