When I got there it was a ghost town. I suppose everyone was out enjoying their last day on Earth? \ud83d\ude09 At the gym I found a treadmill open (who am I kidding, I had my pick of any treadmill I wanted!) with a TV and I got sucked into a few episodes of Sex and The City. That was such a good show. It was the episodes where Carrie was movie to Paris and then Big chases her to Paris. Awww&#8230;.I am such a sucker for romance. Before I knew it, I&#8217;d run on the treadmill for over 3 miles. I was feeling pretty good and had been doing intervals of hills without even really noticing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_6389.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18192\" title=\"IMG_6389\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_6389-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_6389-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_6389-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_6389.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI headed down to the weight room and spent the rest of my time using the plated weight machines (also empty). I also tried a new machine!<\/p>\n<p>[blackbirdpie id=&#8221;71986516569763840&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>It was the Seated Bicep Machine. For some reason I&#8217;d always skipped that machine. I think I was intimidated by it for some reason (kind of like how I&#8217;m intimated by the bench press where you lay down?). I decided to give it a try and it was so easy I had to keep adding plates to it to add weight. I think I got up to almost 30 pounds on it. It felt good to try something new.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_6390.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18194\" title=\"IMG_6390\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_6390-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_6390-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_6390-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_6390.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI did my normal routine with those plate machines&#8211;chest, back, shoulders.
