Mornings are HARD, Florida is HOT, and Gator Volleyball ROCKS!

Made it to the gym again this morning - by 6:20!  Elliptical (10 min), upper body weights (20 min), yoga/stretching/foam roller (20 min).  My arms were visibly SHAKING - not surprising, considering I hadn't done any weight lifting since last spring!  Oof-dah.  Barely made it through my late lunch after work before I passed out for a nap, after which I was a little bit late for class.  Doh!  All in the name of exercise??!! 

Walked 1.5 miles around campus today, from bus stop to stadium (to get Gator Football tickets!) to the library that I work at (stadium-to-work is .85 miles) . . . did I mention that went I went to workout at 6:15 it was 91% humidity already?  I WAS A WALKING PUDDLE by the time I got to work! Ewie!!  And wouldn't you know it, I was wearing a grey shirt (sweat marks) and forgot a pony-tail bindy.  UGH.  It was a SHOCK to my system to walk into the air conditioned building.  I had to sit in the office for 5 minutes until I quit sweating so profusely - when I thought that I had cooled down enough to be somewhat presentable at the front desk, I grabbed my water bottle and showed my sweat-stained shirt off to the world of med students.  My fabulous co-worked says to me, "Man!  You look like you just got out of a sauna!"  HellLLOOOOOOOO?!?!!?  Have you BEEN outside today?  Good grief!!  Anyway, I opted to do the security walk and when I did, I only took the 2nd floor books with me to return - that way, I had to come back down the stairs and go back up 2 flights to return the books on 3rd floor. (Most staff use the elevator.  Why should I?  I have time.  And energy.  And working body parts.)

On a fun side note: Went to another Gator Volleyball game tonight :)  Met a couple of really funny "old"er ladies and had a great time!  They Gator Gals played really well and beat the FSU Seminoles in 3.  Very intense competition!  Oh, and saw a funny sight - see below!

Gator Volleyball has an "Orange and Blue Man Group" (see center of pic)!
:) Fun to get out and be a part of Gator Nation.  Yeehaw.  I mean, GO GATORS!  CHOMP CHOMP!  Until next time, keep finding ways to move and groove your body!!
