Day 252 = Home Workout + Clothes!

Tonight was just too late and too dark after work to get in a run outside. So I opted for a homemade abs workout on my core ball mixed with some resistance bands.

My friend Kristina got a GoWearFit (aka BodyBugg). I feel a movement beginning. That's three friends now who have one. Sweet thing Kristina told me I've "been lookin' skinny lately." The BodyBugg works in that it helps keep me on track. And I'm feeling skinnier this week instead of the bloatapotomus I was feeling like last week. I get so hungry when I'm hormonal and can eat and eat and eat. And then it's like I'm done and I am just not hungry at all. Or I could eat cereal for three meals a day for weeks at a time. Or I get addicted to sugar-free popcicles. Speaking of... I might have one right now.

One thing about working out every day is, eventually, the weight and the inches just start falling off. And the best part about that is re-wearing all the many clothes I haven't worn in a while. And I've noticed that working out every day has really helped with my endurance and running. I'm so stubborn. It's easy to say working out everyday and drinking more water (for that matter) really have some great side effects. And it works. But if you're stubborn like me, then you'll just have to try it out for yourself.

Another reason I didn't run tonight is I was just too stressed at work and came home and acquainted myself with Adivan and pinot grigio. Ok, so not the best combination. In fact, it's not a good combination at all. Since I'm retro-writing this blog, I'll have to admit that on Friday (Day 254) I woke up to emails and winks. From match.com. I'd forgotten that I'd signed up for online dating again. See, stubborn. Like I haven't learned my lesson in the last 7 years of off-and-on online dating. Thanks to the Adivan and wine, the next three months ought to be interesting and filled with great material for the comedy club, as well as disappointment, shattered dreams and crying in my kitchen after kicking off my shoes across the floor after another hopeless date.

And to that, a toast to new beginnings!
