This week I started to “really” go to the gym. To the best of my abilities.
Monday I had work from 9am-noon. Went to a Pilates class from 12:10-1:10. Rented a locker, and sat it the sauna from about 1:30-1:45. The towels they give out at the gym are too small to wrap around you; but apparently the thing to do is to sit in the sauna fully dressed. I, personally, find it disgusting. So I bought a terry-cloth shower wrap on Amazon. Everyone else can sit in their yoga pants and racerback tank tops. I will be naked. After the sauna I showered, got some lunch, and went to my other job from 3-6pm.
Today I had work from 7:15am-10:15am. Class from 10:45am-12:50pm. Work again from 1:30pm-4:30pm. Then I attended a ballet class from 5:15-6:15. After ballet I intended to walk on the elliptical for about an hour, but in the rush of the day I forgot my running shoes at home. So I went straight for the sauna. 20 minutes in, 5 minutes out, 10 minutes in again. I read that it’s best to do at least 2 sessions.
I’m almost done with my day’s batch of cranberry water. I had a Trader Joe’s pre-made Italian Salad for dinner. Strawberries and a few slices of mango for desert.
I also feel particularly bloated today. The protective anonymity of the internet makes me feel comfortable enough to say that I’m actually a little constipated. And comfortable enough to say that this is a regular problem in my life. I eat 1 dose of medicated chocolate every other day. This is a relatively new ailment in my life. Within the last 6 months.
Aging sucks. Spoken like a true 21-year-old.
With regard to the Depo Provera, I don’t feel any different. It’s been about a week since I should have had my injection. I felt fine before, I feel fine now. I have no idea when I should start carrying tampons in my purse again. And I’m pretty worried that I won’t have them when the time comes. But all my research says that’s months (maybe even years) away. It’s like being a little girl all over again. I didn’t want to start getting my period then either.
