Hm, I’ve missed my daily routine a few times in the past week or so, mostly because of lack of privacy (staying over at other people’s homes). I still haven’t gotten over my aversion to exercising with other people around, even if they’re in another room. Sigh. But I think I’ll have the apartment to myself when I go home for lunch today so I’ll start ‘rung 5’ at noon rather than in the morning today, and that will be okay. :)

This exercise thing has mostly been entirely positive, though there’s been one drawback. I find myself really chafing at having a roommate where I rarely did before. She’s usually gone in the morning well before I have to leave for work so it works out well – I do my routine after she leaves. But whenever it happens that she isn’t gone, or that I have to leave early, I find myself really starting to resent her presence. And that’s MY problem, not hers! And little things like thinking about getting a recumbent bike – but it would either a) have to go in the living room, where she would be too or b) have to go in my bedroom making it obvious I was hiding and leaving her probably feeling a little lonely. Sigh. Just got to work through this.
