335lbs!

Today Antonio was supposed to measure me but my stupid gym didn't have a single measuring tape in the whole place. Ugh! That place is really irritating me lately. There is only one scale and it's been gone since mid-November because it's getting re-calibrated or some shiz. Last time I checked, that didn't take almost 2 freaking months. Also, today was not the first time Antonio couldn't find a tape measure. He has to go hunting for a damn pen almost every day. AND there are about 25 treadmills, but there are five of them that are always out of order. It's just really annoying to be paying a buttload of money and shit like this goes on. Anyway, I digress....

So we didn't do measurements obviously and instead we did legs. Last week, I did leg presses for the first time and I was able to lift 300lbs. Today, he had me do them again and he kept building up the weight till I did 335lbs. I couldn't believe it! Legs of steeeeeel!!! I'm already feeling it though...it's gonna be even better tomorrow. I love leg days now because that's where I'm strongest so I feel like I'm actually doing something. My arms are so weak so I feel pathetic after any arm workout. I lift like 10lbs with my arms and they feel like they're gonna break. Then I lift 300lbs with my legs and I'm Superwoman! Haha! I also love leg days because I don't have to do cardio afterwards....hehehe. 

I pushed really hard today. We did other leg machines and I felt like I couldn't do much but Antonio is good at getting my mind off the pain so I just do it. It's all mental, so I have to keep going and think about other things. We talked about how he wants to open his own gym...and when he does, he will have an endless supply of pens and tape measures. HA!

In other news, I have an interview on Thursday at Valley Radiology for an insurance authorization person. I used to do that in the derm world so at least I have some idea of what I'm doing. The office is in Federal Way too so that would be really nice.


Tomorrow, measurements and another 5K....if my legs are functioning. Wish me luck!
