get back in shape

i was pretty productive today: two miles on the treadmill, a hundred crunches, curls with the pilates band thing. not bad for a start; my body is going to hate me tomorrow, but thank me in the long run if i can keep this up…

now that all the stressful stuff is over, i can focus my energy on me... i think i deserve it after all of this… ;) tomorrow i’ll start my exercise routine, but today i think i’m just gonna relax…

i am turning into a slug… all the christmas cookies and pastries they are bringing us at work are not helping me with this goal… :(

so i’ve gotten the shape part down… now if only i could tone what’s left, i’d be satisfied. and with the holiday season fast approaching, this is going to get messy…

i was walking through sears the other day… and spotted a stationary bike… and it wasn’t that expensive… but then again, will i actually use it, or will it become a very large space-occupying ornament for collecting dust? the treadmill is in the basement, but i just can’t motivate myself enough to go down there…

the spinning class downtown looked cool, but i’m not sure how much of an investment that would be—time and money-wise… i’ve heard some bad things about gyms (in general) and their contracts… i wasted a lot of money on gym memberships before, too. i signed up for a nine month membership one time, went to two sessions, and never went back after that… i guess i haven’t found the right one. maybe it’s that, or maybe i just don’t like being oogled by big scary men with breasticles and necks thicker than my thighs…

i saw a sign for a spinning class on my way home… wondering if i could handle it…

hmm… i ran a mile and a half yesterday, but i guess it got cancelled out by the three slices of mushroom and sausage pizza for dinner. at least that motivated me to get up early again and run this morning!
