Good idea gone bad.

The idea:

• Up the sit ups from 40 to 50
• Up the knee push ups from 20 to 25
• Ride bike from my house to 24 hour fitness on Kurkendall
• Do the elliptical for 20 minutes.
• Ride the bike back home.

You know when you wake up and have this great idea. You seem really enthusiastic about it. You put it into motion.

• Sit ups/Knee Push Ups: I'm thinking, hey this really was a good idea. Look at me go. I'm impressed with myself. Go me!
• Ride bike to 24 hour fitness on Kurkendall: At first I'm thinking ahhhh...fresh air. It feels good out. Then as I ride I'm thinking...Gosh it's muggy out. I don't sweat well in muggy air and i get really hot. hmm...Oh, I realize. I've just added on almost another 1/2 mile to my bike ride to get to this place. Will I be able to make it home?
• Elliptical for 20 minutes: Turns into elliptical for 30 minutes, as I don't know how to work this machine. But, it doesn't seem too bad. I like my music, it's keeping me going. Even the super workout girl beside me only lasts for 20 minutes. ha. That is until I get off that silly machine. All I could think to myself was hang in there Cherie, just walk out the door to the bike...don't fall inside. i made it to the bike. whew.
• Bike ride home: I didn't realize my bike could gear down so low. I slowly weaved back to Lake Woodlands Drive. Then it was as if my bike took over. It was going much faster than my legs were interested. Finally my legs gave in and took off, with my mind screaming...what! What! slow down! how will you make it home?! slow down!... Why do they make these bike helmets weigh so much. I think the force of my neck holding up my head is loosing to the gravity that is pushing that hat down. Will my head just snap off?... At one point i remember thinking...thank goodness I brought my cell phone. maybe I should call someone and ask them to pick up Little Bit from school and watch the kids till M gets home. Maybe someone will find me, laying on the side of the sidewalk. Will their dog sniff at my remains? Will they stop to help me? But, no my legs got me home. it was miraculous.

Let's see if I do it again tomorrow. ha.
