590 Lighter

I'm going to be posting going-to-the-gym posts here for a while, as a way of keeping myself accountable.

After doing a bit of stuff around the house this morning, Wonderful Husband and I went to the gym, where he proceeded upstairs towards the weights and I proceeded forwards, towards the non-weights. I tweaked my timing on the three machines so I ended up at an hour total and 590 calories down. Discovered (since I got a machine that had working sensors this time) that it's decidedly harder to keep my heartrate at the target on the ellipticals. Kept wanting to soar over it. I spent my time listening to the score for RotF. Hoping to get time to write more on Deus Ex Machine 6 tonight. For now, garden stuff to do. I've also decided that 10 am Sunday is a decent time to go in. The programming on their televisions is far less inane at that time than it was at 6:45 pm on Friday.

Writer's Block: Shhh… Don’t tell

I don't know if my inlaws know about my LJ, but, really, my surname isn't common and probably googling for it'd bring this right up. Everyone else in my RL? My family knows about it, certainly. Most of my RL friends live some distance away from me, so this is one of my main tools for keeping in touch with them. So, no, my LJ isn't a secret.

What I lock on it to keep secret, OTOH... is probably not very much. Less than half a dozen posts locked for my viewing only since this journal's inception. And those would be the posts about things I'm having trouble handling IRL. Health, depression, etc. I keep those off my LJ because I don't want to worry people who can't do anything about them anyway. I understand that my friends have my best wishes at heart regardless of whether or not I vent my own personal bitterness and bile all over the internet. And, honestly, me being down about something? Is quite bad enough without dragging others into it.
