i feel like such a pig. i've been taking so much afternoon naps these few days. ok maybe because i'm not getting enough sleep at night. but i usually don't take afternoon naps. i can sleep from the time i come home from school, maybe 12-1, till dinner time. that's like the same amount of time i sleep at night. its not productive AT ALL. and i feel tired ALL the time. sigh... i have to get back to my swimming regime. and i have to admit. jogging before swimming is superb. after being all sweaty and hot and disgusting. jumping in the pool is like WOW. and you're all warmed up and ready to swim. that feeling's nice. BUT. make sure you wipe ur sweat off first. if not there'll be white spots appearing.
one thing i've noticed. i feel the most awake when i'm in the gym. because the aircon's always too cold for comfort and u have to just keep moving if not i think i'll freeze. your blood vessels near the surface of the skin contracts so that less heat can be lost through radiation. so that means blood vessels near the muscles dilate. providing more blood and thus more oxygen to the muscles. which means u can work out more. hyok. what a bio essay. and the stupid tv in the gym is always TOO loud. even with 3/4 of the volume on the ipod, i can still hear the anchorwoman of channel newsasia talking. the worst part is that. i'm too short to reach the button on the tv to change the channel :( only my sis is tall enough. SIGH. and of course the treadmills have to be placed in such a position where you have to strain your neck just to watch tv. and i do that without even realising it because i just need to watch TV. after running. my neck'll be aching. not my legs. sigh. no wonder i'm most awake there.
ooh. after that i'll come home and plant myself in front of the tv again to watch jamie oliver's cooking show and more cartoons. then i'll drool over the food he cooks and get hungry and EAT. totally defeating the purpose of exercising in the first place. but a girl's gotta EAT. eventually. so... there, my schedule at home if i feel like exercising and not studying.
