The other day at the gym, I was fiddling around on an elliptical, utterly hating HIIT cardio training. This goofy kinda flabby dude who hangs out at the gym - literally hangs out and talks to people, I've seen him doing maybe a total of 1 hour's worth of work since I started there three months ago - walks by, goes over to this older woman with gigantic breasts walking on a treadmill, and starts talking to her. He nods, she nods, and then I watch as he heads to a corner of the gym that I've never even bothered with and straps into....A FUCKING ROWING MACHINE.

I nearly ejaculated. I hate cardio with a passion. If I could will cardio exercise into a corporeal form, I would take that corporeal form, black-bag it, and take it to Guantanamo Bay to personally torture it to fucking death. The only indoor cardio equipment I've ever cared for is rowing machines, and they FUCKING HAD SOME!

So I hopped off of the elliptical, ran over to the rowing machine, strapped myself in next to Tubby McBackHair, set the intensity to the highest setting, and started rowing my ass off. A minute and a half later, other dude copped out, but I stayed on that damn thing for 30 minutes, just rowing away. I was so incredibly happy, and now I won't cheat out and do a day of weights, a day of "eh, maybe some cardio then dips and pullups", then weights, then "eh, maybe no cardio", then weights. I can actually balance out my routine now, and while that might sound absolutely dorky, I'm stoked.

What's a small thing that's gotten you completely amped up lately? Pills/cocaine don't count.

I am loving the fact that there's a Trader Joe's near my house. LOVING it. They have great stuff, they're cheap, and I can even find a good selection of organic food there. Yay.

Your mom has a good selection of organic food.

...wait, no, she's cheap! That's it!

The tacos at El Super Taco(Yes, the name is retarded, but the food's pretty damn good). $1.25 per taco, all the cuts of meat are usually really fresh, and I'm sure that everything else is pretty effing tasty as well...but I've only had LOS SUPER TACOS.

Also the La Juquila truck that stops right down the street is pretty awesome, too.

I totally feel you on the cardio thing. I H-A-T-E it with a damn passion to. To replace mindless cardio at the gym, I have started jogging to my gym. It is about 1.5 miles away from my home. So that way I get my warm up and cool down cardio in. It only sucks on Monday, because Mondays are legs day. What has gotten me amped? About the same line as you. Yesterday I squatted 390lbs. That was GREAT!
