One of these days I'm going to puke at the gym.

Workout 2B4 - 2x10 (Last one! Goodbye Stage 2!)
Deadlift - 75, 85
Bulgarian Split Squat - BW, 10lb plate
Underhand Lat Pulldown - 100lbs, 100lbs (BOOYAH!)
Rev. Lunge from Box w/Forward Reach - 10s, 10s (this is where the pukey feeling came in - pretty sure I looked like I wanted to die)
DB Prone Cuban Snatch - 10s, 10s
Swiss Ball Crunch - 10lbs, 10lbs
Rev. Crunch - BW, BW
Lat. Flexion - 1st version, 1st version
Prone Cobra - 90s, 60s

Holy crap, looking at this workout with all the fancy colors, no WONDER I was nauseated pukey. I upped the weight on 5 of 9 exercises, and upped the weight from last week (though not all-time) on at least a couple more. Whew. Damn.

A woman at the gym, Donna, was like, "Are you okay?" I told her I was feeling nauseas pukey, and she was like, "Oh no..." and I said, "No, it's a good workout if you feel nauseas pukey."

There's a girl at work, Megan, who used to run regularly and she's looking to get back into it. She did a marathon in high school, now she's 23 (I'm 24) and hasn't been running regularly for a while. I told her when the weather warms up, we'll go out to the track at the local university and do some sprints. (I also have in mind a HIDEOUS set of stairs up the side of a hill on another part of campus for stair drills...but that's a surprise.) Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm a crap runner, but I've always enjoyed sprints as opposed to distance running. I need the weather to warm up a bit, though, because when I exercise outside in the cold, I get exercise/cold-air induced asthma a little bit. Wheezy and phlegm-y for HOURS. Maybe in April it'll heat up a bit.

I may start practicing on the treadmill at the gym. I may also start throwing in sets of pull-ups and chin-ups on the assisted pull-up machine just for giggles.

And by giggles, I mean more nausea pukey feelings.

I'm going to have to stop asking my boyfriend to poke my quads so often. I think once a week is enough. He's going to start teasing me. I can feel it.

Edit: I decided to change all references to nausea to "pukey". I think it's more spirited, don't you?
