Tons of Sweat...

so I have been sick and out of it for most of the past week. I came back from being on the road, and thought I caught a cold, and it just seemed to get worse from there. I went to the gym on Monday, and didn't go again until yesterday. I hurt when I just walked, so...the gym seemed out of the question.

Have only done cardio yesterday and today...and the sweat was pouring off of me both days. the shirts I have worn were so soaked through...they just went right into the laundry bag.

Maybe it's the sick wearing off...maybe I am actually working the cardio harder...but...wow!!!

In other gym related news...6lbs lighter...

mixed emotions...

disappointment and excitement all in the same weekend. The season finale of Torchwood was this weekend and I was disappointed to have it come to an end, but more disappointed in the way it ended. I just can't believe that two series regulars are gone...oy!

but then...on Sunday...Brothers and Sisters came back, and I am so happy to see that. I'm happier to see that Scotty will be back...I love Scotty...there can't be too much of him on that show!

so...roller coaster of an up and down weekend...this is why I don't watch too much tv...I get too attached!

smoking...

I forgot how much it's an annoying habit. no cussing me out for saying that...I have picked up a cigarette or two in my time...so I am as guilty as the next guy. but...when I chose to smoke, I don't light up inside or where it can impact others. I forgot how much you end up reaking of smoke when you go out to a bar where people can smoke inside. I forgot what it's like to be asked smoking or non smoking when you go to a restaurant until I got to North Carolina. It's odd how quickly things like that leave your collective memory until you are confronted with them again.

From Hell...

it's no just the name of a movie. Today was the travel day from hell...and I have two more to go before I am home again in my own bed. The day started early at LAX and I didn't land at O'Hare until much later, in the cold and rain...yuck!!! Two flights of standby and I finally got out...and I just wanted to give up. Too much turbulence from like Utah all the way to Chicago and kids threw up on the plane on the approach to O'Hare...woo hoo!!! Top it all off...American played National Treasure: Book of Secrets - the same movie I saw on my flight to LAX from JFK...the only one they have in their rotation currently? HMMMM...

just the travel day from hell...time for dinner and drinks in the windy city!!!
