All Worked Out...
Over the past six days I've been to the gym every night. For the past three, I've also been to the pool. My arms are aching from weights and swimming. My legs are aching from serious recumbent biking. But the spot I want to work out, the spot where all the fat is, my stomach area, is not aching. I go to big lengths trying to get that area of my body to break a sweat. On one hand, it's a good thing since it indicates I have strong torso and back muscles. On the other hand, I'd really like it to endure a little stress and burn fat. Other than that, I find that a swim after a workout completes the experience. I started diving off of one of the high diving boards tonight.

Since I'm biking so much in the gym this week, I've pondered why I don't just enjoy biking to work as much. The reasons are:

• I don't have a recumbent bike.
• I don't like getting to work sweaty.
• I don't like exercising in the morning; only evenings.
• I don't like hot, humid temperatures; the gym has dry/cool air.
• I don't like wasting time in the morning, when driving is faster.
• I do enjoy the bike ride home, especially if the sun is setting.

Still, when the weather is just right, a bike ride to and from work is great. Driving just feels wasteful.

At work, this week has been productive. Today felt especially so. I finally got all four of my build machines to behave, and they will soon function as a well-oiled machine.

I'm expecting the family home any day now. Bye-bye freedom.
