April 28th, 2010

Dear Journal,
I am so tired today I could fall over. I don't know what the problem is. I had to just do cardio today, even though I had planned on lifting. I have to train a client this evening and go grocery shopping. I am conserving energy so I don't actually fall over in the street in nyc. I think a made a good choice to rearrange my lifting to tomorrow and friday. what do you think? I can't believe I'm talking to myself on this journal, but maybe someone will read it and laugh. I hope so! How do I get more energy? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I got an email from the place I take pole dancing classes at, and they are looking for a receptionist there. I am going for an interview on Friday. How great would that be to work at the place that gives me so much release and serenity!

April 25th, 2010

Felt somewhat tired today. I am also glad I kept my focus, because there seemed to be ALOT of men working out today....like you would've thought they were giving something away for free at the gym today. It was really annoying to be honest. Also, people kept looking at me in between sets, I don't know why, but they were. I felt like I wanted to crawl under a rock - it was strange. Maybe because I was the only girl there....but it felt weird - I cant really explain it. I got into that "introverted state" in between sets. I just wanted to close my eyes after my sets were over because I just felt the people looking at me. I don't know if this sounds like I'm crazy or not, but whatever - it's my journal lol. Also, I asked a guy if I could work in with him on the cable machine and he looked afraid of me and then just let me have it. I dont think I came across as mean, but maybe I looked intimidating to him. I kind of felt bad that he just left the machine because of me, but oh well.

Oh, and I achieved my 7th day yesterday from my reward system. Pedicure for me! yeayyy smile I'm going to get that done tomorrow!
