*I Did It Myself*

Another day and another workout at the gym.  I took a break from the gym after hurting my knee a few weeks ago...  and then it was easy to just not go when my knee was starting to feel better.  Bruce and I went on Saturday and I've been two more times this week.  Instead of doing my learn to run program on the treadmill, I have been doing 30-45 minutes on the recumbent bike.  I don't like the bike.  It's boring.

And it sucks that most days they blast music through the speakers in the gym so loud that I can't enjoy the music on my iPod...  I want my music, not whatever the young gym attendant thinks is good music.

At any rate, I am trying hard to make the gym a habit again.  I am hopeful that the desire to go to the gym will return some day...  Right now I'm going because I know I should, not because I want to.

An unfortunate side effect of a good workout in the cold weather is that I get really really hot in the gym, go outside and cool off quickly, then I get in the car and turn on the heat...  then I get home and eat my breakfast before hitting the shower.  All of this hot and cold means I feel chilled for most of the day.

Sucks

Anyway... you didn't come to hear me whine about the gym LOL

I had fun with this card.... the challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges this week was to use three different geometric shapes on one card.  It's been a bit since I came up with a design on my own so it took a bit of time for me to think of what I wanted to do.  But all of a sudden the idea came to me.  But then, I didn't know what colours I wanted to use... so I opened up the master list of Colour Challenges at Splitcoast and looked through until I found something that caught my eye.

It felt good to create a card using my own vision instead of following a sketch... but it was tough!  LOL!
