It’s after 9:00 on a “gym night” which means I need to be in bed. I tend to be fairly dedicated about getting up to go to the gym in what I like to call “the middle of the night,” however lately what I like to call “fatness” has gotten the best of me.
Ha ha “quotations.” They’re so funny.
And annoying.
Anyway-
Will has been going with me in the morning too, so that’s been nice.
Okay- actually he’s been with me like twice- but still- I count it as a victory.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, right?
If I keep making trifles and candy bar cookies and 27,000 calorie cake we might be forced to live life from a queen size bed in which we take turns rolling each other over so as to avoid bedsores.
Nice.
Something about moving home has brought out the domestic goddess in me-
Where has she been all my life!?
Okay- so I’m exaggerating.
A lot.
I don’t have any creativity inside of me.
I will say, however, that moving back has brought out the desire to cook- which is good and bad.
Good: This morning I made myself a fresh fruit smoothie
Bad: I made a trifle that weighed 6 pounds.
Do you know how long one would have to be on an elliptical to burn that crap off?
We’re not talking minutes.
Think hours.
Like- I was 25 when I got on this thing and will be 26 when I get off.
But that doesn’t seem to stop me.
My willpower is like that of a bloodhound being let loose in a meat locker.
(that means I don’t have any)
Anyway- I don’t feel as large since I know I’ll be going to the gym in the morning.
Because we’re “easing” Will into the gym, I’ve been gracious enough to forego my usual hour and a half workout for just one hour. I figure I’ll do an hour of cardio tomorrow and an hour of weights the next day. I hate not doing both- but oh well.
…
And wow- I just realized what a boring post this has becoming.
Or always was.
I would apologize, but then I think to myself, “I’m soooo entitled to a boring piece of crap post every now and again (cough- or every third day…).” It’s not easy thinking up interesting crap to share!
But you guys already know that.
Okay- if you’re still hanging with me, here’s a story I’ll share.
P hates working out.
She hates working out because it makes her face red.
And she sweats.
How dare someone sweat at the gym- right!?
Anyway- I made her workout with me on the cruise several times.
Sort of.
She loved every minute of it.
Ha.
I will say, though- she did overcome her fear of “gym-ing.”
Sort of.
So one day we go to the gym and it’s really busy- and full of cute boys.
I get there and start getting ready to work out and P has like this huge conniption fit.
Like she wants to scratch my eyes out and disown me as her sister.
She refuses to work out and (with her phone in hand) says the following all flustered:
“I left my phone in the room, Britt!
I have to go! I have to get my phone! I have to go, Britt!”
She darts and goes back to the room.
For someone that hates working out- she sure can sprint.
I’m not lying- the girl hates working out in front of a crowd.
Huh.
It was hilarious when it happened. I could see the stress in her eyes at the thought of working out with a crowd. I thought she was going to have a panic attack.
Reading it here? Isn’t as funny. Oh well. I always like telling P stories. They’re fun.
Speaking of- I think I might share a secret with you guys about me and P sometime soon.
(Private to P: do you think we should tell them about The Village? Not for them to come and screw things up- but just so that they’re aware? Perhaps you can share when you guest write for me next week)
Anyway- back to the matter at hand (if there really is a matter at hand)- the gym.
Here are a few things you should be listening to while you’re there (well- this is what I am listening to right now anyway):
-Mindcircus By Way Out West- (download the version that’s on Tiesto’s In Search of Sunrise 3 cd. It’s the Gabriel & Dresden Mix)
-Open You Eyes should follow Mindcircus. It’s the next song on the In Search of Sunrise cd. That’s one thing I love about working out to trance, it all flows together so you’re always keeping the same pace
Actually- just buy it all.
All of the In Search of Sunrise cds.
That will save me a ton of time…
-Nothing But You (Club Mix), Paul Van Dyk
-This Time (Klass Remix), DJ Antoine
Okay.
That’s enough.
I’m sure I’ve lulled you to sleep- and I need to do the same.
Those calories don’t burn themselves.
…
Or something like that…
I’m like P, I get a red face and sweat when I work out...I hate it, but man do I need it. We’re about to join a new gym, so hopefully that will be the motivation I need. Oh yeah, and the working out in front of people? I can totally relate.
