The skin areas on my knees and elbows are spotted with darker colours and they are rather dry and peeling. I am suspecting that it is due to regular pumping - need to kneel down and use the elbows to support very often in pump classes.
I find Thursday pump getting more boring. Still I went diligently for the sake of my waistline. But, I felt really bored and extremely sleepy and fatigue. Not sure if those were physical or mental. I was feeling okay when I arrived at gym, a bit hungry, but otherwise okay.
I was already sweating a lot even though my warm up on stepper was only 10 minutes. Little Bro was also puzzled with the reason of me drenched in sweat when I saw him at the gym just now. He was in his casual wear which I seldom see him in, and I told him the pants he was wearing accentuate the nice shape of his buttock. :p
I only notice the name of the replacement instructor just before entering the class. I was thinking, if I don't enter the class, what do I want to do? Free weights? It's going to be equally boring. Besides, the free weights area, even extended to the cardio machine, was smelling very heavy of sweat and the air was really stale there. Wouldn't really want to be enveloped in that kind of environment. So, class it was.
Wasn't sure which one was the instructor until he busied himself setting up at the front of the studio. He looked familiar, by the time I recall, I happened to passed by him and I acknowledged him with a smile. He was the guy who TT-ed with FI in his last class just before he left for his Dubai trip. Hmm... so long ago, and which reminded me, I haven't been attending FI's class for a long long time.
Boredom caught up with me as soon as I picked up my bar for the warm up. Followed by great weariness and total dull facial expression. I must have looked like I was in a foul mood and I own the gym type of look. I didn't feel like pushing myself and almost wanted to use only 5kg for the chest track. But decided against it lah. Waistline!
Okay... but half way through the chest track, I had a cramp on my right calf. Geezz... how to "cure" my calf while lying down on the bench? So didn't seem to be able to manage my bottom halves. The cramp got bad during lunges which didn't help at all adding to my declining mood and energy.
In short, I managed badly in class. Lucky the instructor didn't have funny accent or bad spoken English. Cueing wise, not perfect, but no major mess-up. But still, I was feeling really lifeless.
On the happy note. I got a present from my favorite guy today. :) Will miss him while he's away for a few days though.
Meanwhile, there's a birthday cake baking tomorrow for delivery on Saturday. Told SSB that I'll do the hokey pokey for her dad. And I'm really looking forward to catching up on a good gossip session with the gals on Sunday.
