Just Thinkin....

My blog today is for my good friend and colleague Anu. The other day at work, we were talking about my blogs and she said, “it makes me wonder what goes through your head on a daily basis”. So, today when I was jogging on the treadmill at lunch, I thought "Eureka!" I know what I can blog about. I have random thoughts all the time. Maybe it's the lupus medication. Maybe it's my sick and twisted mind. Maybe I am channeling my Mom. Hahaha! (She is gonna kill me for that one- love you Mom!) :)

Soooo...without further ado, Malupus' random thoughts while on the treadmill today:

• Why is it when you start out on the treadmill, and 2 minutes into your workout, you have to poop? Do you fight yourself mentally to stay on the treadmill and work through it or do you get off and take care of business? (FYI: I fought through it if you were curious)

• Why is it that when you wear knee highs to work that the ring stays on your leg below the knee? And then…when you go to workout and you are wearing shorts, you can still see it in the mirror? Do you think others notice and then judge you b/c you wear knee highs? (gimme a break- I had on heels today with my ensemble)

• I caught the weird looking man on the treadmill next to me staring at me during my treadmill jaunt- I caught him in the big mirror in front of us- (maybe he was looking at my knee high rings) hahahaha

• Why is it that you bust your ass in your workout to find out that you only burned 142 calories? Seriously? Sad.

• What do you do when you forget to put your iPod on “workout shuffle”? Do you mentally fight yourself to stop your workout and adjust your tunage or do you continue jog (at a somewhat slower pace) to Michael Buble, Anita Baker and Train? (Answer: today I just kept hitting “skip”- and don't judge me for my music collection; you would crap your droors at some of the stuff I have on my iPod) . Tomorrow, the workout shuffle will be jammin.

• Why is that when you look in the mirror (there is a huge wall mirror to look into when jogging on the treadmills) that you see you shorts ride up your crotch and you try to be subtle and pull em back down? (God…I hate that). That look reminds me of a gal that was on my HS basketball team (I will protect the innocent in case she is on FB; if she is, she hasn't friended me...and that's totally OK with me) and I told myself that I would never get to the point where my legs rub together when I jog/walk/run. Thank goodness I am not to that point yet- that's why I am working out.

• I just thought of this one...the workout room at work has the treadmills on the front row and the stationary bikes in a row right behind the treadmills. Why in the hell did they do that? I just realized that the lone man on the bikes today was positioned right behind my bouncing ass. Congratulations dude- hope you enjoyed your cheap seat- Perv. I did notice he said a big "HELLO" to me when he walked in and of all the 7 bikes he could have sat his butt on, he sat right behind me. I need to start charging admission. Or I look at is as I have a workout fan.


BTW....for those of you following closely to my blog, a couple updates:
  • “Wile E” was just finishing his workout when I was jumping on today. Thank goodness. I couldn’t handle a speed demon next to me.

  • I am still on the hunt for a new rheumatologist. I did get in to the best Lupus Doc in Atlanta- his first available appointment is August 10, 2011. 2011! Holy shit balls. I know he's good, but wow! Gimme Dr. Bacani! I could drive home right now to Fredonia and I bet he would draw my blood right there at the Bacani Plaza bar. (love that man!) Maybe I will bring my medical records home when I visit over Christmas. It's a thought. Anywhoo, I did take the August 2011 appt. because this lupus isn't going away. That way I will have this doc for the duration. He's the real deal and I want the best Doc insurance can buy. :) Dr. J is totally out. She did get off her ass to day and call in my pneumonia shot. I get that tomorrow (yay)- but I had to heckle her and her "lovely" secretary about 4 times today. Sigh. I am looking for an interim doc in the meantime. Stay tuned on that....

Welp, that's all I've got for this evening. Hugs to all and chat at ya later- M.

  1. Hilarious, ought to try the crotch pull while pushing a double jogging stroller and strolling past all of the morning car-riders on main street. I'm sure it's the laugh of their Friday morning ;-)
