My Life Thus Far
If One So Desires
I wish I'd written earlier. I'm starting to get tired. Which means the content and quality of this entry may suffer. Oh well, I'll do my best.
It was a good day. Probably one of the better days I've had. I woke up feeling extremely unmotivated to get my behind out of bed, let alone to the gym... but I did it. I got my back packed, put on my work out gear, and headed out the door. Begrudgingly. I didn't leave myself very much time, but I managed to get a leg circuit done. No cardio, but it was a start, and I'm definitely feeling the effects of it. I would venture to say their equipment is right on par, or maybe even better than the Y's. The selectorized machines are very easy to use, and in great condition. Tomorrow I'm going to get my ass moving sooner so I can get some cardio in.
The only issue I have with Snap is the lack of locker rooms. There's two shower rooms (just a shower stall and a small mirror on the wall), two changing rooms (just portable rooms in the hallway to the shower rooms), an two bathrooms (toilet and sink). It's a weird set up. I think once I get used to the new arrangement I'll be fine, but for today it felt awkward and difficult getting ready for work. Luckily I didn't need to do much. I did my makeup before leaving the house. I just showered and changed clothes. I kind of want to check out the Silverdale facility too, just to see if it might work out better for me. Either one is convenient for different reasons. But if the Silverdale location has better locker rooms (or even actual locker rooms), then I may go there on work days. I suspect the Silverdale location gets busier, but it's not like I'll be there peak times all that often.
Work was actually good today. I don't know if it was due to my short workout releasing some endorphins, the fact that I had time to get coffee and still be on time, or because it was a short day (6 hours instead of 8), but I had a good day. I even started the day off with a 14 bra sale! A stark change from the kind of days I've been having. It was the first day in a long time that felt almost normal. It wasn't too busy, there wasn't a million associates working. I was definitely in my element. I'm looking forward to having another great day tomorrow.
I had a moment of self-hatred this afternoon. We have a wall at work that lists all the associates. Upper level associates (elevated associates, supervisors, and managers) have photos on the board. Jenna asked if she could take my picture for the board (the one I have up there is 4 years old and fading). Of course I said yes... well, I look fat in it. I know there are worst things to be, and I'm not fat. I have fat. It was a less than flattering picture, but it's not terrible. Nor is it the end of the world. I just don't like it. I didn't want to seem vain by asking her to take another one. I'll just live with it. Mocking me. Every day. I guess it's motivation to get myself in better shape. So I can look at it and be reminded that I don't want to look or feel "fat" anymore. I'm comfortable with myself regardless, but there's always room for improvement if one so desires.
