Nap time construction

I struggled through my workout today. I went 47 minutes again but this time my heart rate was soaring in the 170's. I'm not sure why I was up so high the whole time but it killed me. Plus I was still sore from yesterday and I had a awful breakfast (McD Sausage thing). We had McD's for breakfast because we were running late getting A to work and I didn't have time to grab something from home. I usually need to eat something before I work out but that was obviously the wrong choice. We got the the Y later than usual and someone was already on the Elliptical machine I like so I got stuck on the mean one apparently. I really had to keep telling myself to keep going. I would think "hey you've made it 30 minutes, you can do anything for 15 more minutes!". I skipped weights today for two reason, one the trainer told me not to do strength training everyday and, two my body said I was done. I burned 526 calories today in 45 minutes, an all time high for me on the machines. Higher by A LOT from anything I have done before. Why was I so insane today?! 170 is supposed to be the max heart rate for me and I could feel it when I passed that. I was dying! Tomorrow is a swimming day I think, I have punished myself enough for two days.

It's supposed to be nap time right now but of course the landlord is pounding away at the wall again. I am starting to hate him. He is completely renovating our old house and we share a wall. The part that makes me want to kill him is that he is so cheap he is doing all the work himself. So he shows up at noon and pounds away for a few hours then takes off. At this pace he will be done in 3 years and apparently he only works during nap time. There is actually a hole in the wall under the bathroom sink the size of a basketball that I can look through and see the other side. So you can see how the sound is carrying. He may as well be in our living room with his hammer and drill. I hate him. It's the first, rent is due and I hate him. The two are unrelated.

Yummy
