Can't tell if my biggest exercise achievement this evening is
1) the (new, temporary) instructor saying "that's the strongest plank ever!" about mine (plank is usually a weakness, all I normally hear is "Erik get your hips up!")
or
2) me absolutely booking it out of there the second our cooldown finished, knowing I only had a chance to make the bus if I hustled -- effectively addring ten minutes of cardio on top of the hour-long circuits session! -- and getting to the stop just as the bus did.
I was so wrecked by the time I got home though. Especially because the bus driver didn't let me off at the stop I wanted (I guess I stood up too late and despite getting to the front of the bus just after another person exited the bus and the doors were still open, he insisted on ignoring me!).
I was so tired that, when I went to eat the lovely dinner that my lovely boyfriend had made for us while I was out, I had to consciously think it's time to open my mouth, muscles! once my hand had brought the spoon full of chili and rice to my lips.

But clearly because I wasn't hovering right there behind the other person he didn't expect anyone else could possibly want the stop.
I sometimes argue too but I was too tired and it's not actually much further for me to walk from the next stop -- it's just a more annoying walk, more pavement parking, but it's familiar and I was fine. Not worth yelling at the driver about.
