i'm not buying it either, but i'll try selling it anyway.

i decided that since i made my "i want to work out" plea three weeks ago, it was about time i actually did something. so i went pretend running.

how does one go pretend running, you ask?
you walk.

and before the comments come, i didn't walk the whole time. i did actually run. i just walked [a lot] more than i ran. and let me just say there's nothing like smelling manure for a solid half hour.

but the point is that i did something, because i could have sat my little behind on the couch and happily ate my fatty dinner whilst watching the biggest loser. (don't worry, i did that after the pretend run. BUT, i drank water instead of soda! go me!!!)

and for your viewing pleasure, a horrible quality picture from my cell phone of me during my pretend run.
p.s. have i ever told you how impatient i am? where are my results??

i'm actual

this week i was feeling down. so i decided to list the things i am good at. then i decided to share- with you readers. all five of you. because we are supposed to share our talents.

things i'm good at
-talking. fast and with unnecessary details.
-spending money i don't have.
-memorizing people's birthdays. you only wish you had this talent.
-watching more tv shows than a person should.
-driving and not getting tickets.
-sneezing.
-playing crash bandicoot on the playstation. any CB game on any from of a playstation. i'm that versatile.
-making sand octopuses.
-facebook/blog stalking.

and before you think i'm letting all of this get to my head, here is a list of my non-talents.

things i'm not good at
-anything athletic.
-eating healthy.
-cleaning and/or keeping anything clean.
-being on time.
-paying attention in geology.
-drawing. i made it to the art show in 2nd grade but it's been downhill since then.
-keeping in touch with people.
-being patient.
-losing.

oh look, here is a picture of me pretending to be athletic.

















don't be fooled. i promise i didn't even hit the ball.

and just so you don't think i'm lying, here is a picture of said octopus.

make it work!

let me tell you why i love thursdays.

reason #1i agree, this is the most awkward photo ever taken.

but seriously, look at this face and try to tell me it's not reason enough to watch.just sayin'

moving on.

reason #2
reason #2.5
michael scott: if there is one thing i hate more than the mafia is a liar. i wish the mafia would go out and kill all the liars. and bury them in my yard. and i wouldn't tell the cops a thing. not that i would be lying per se, but i would just get really quiet all of a sudden.

reason #3
i think that's all the explanation needed.

wouldn't you agree? running always slows you down

i've been working out.

hahaha. no, that's not entirely (or even a little) true. can't even say it seriously.
what i should say is that i want to work out.
at least 4 times a week, i go to bed with intentions of getting up early to run the next morning. i set my alarm and everything. half of the time, i don't even hear it. the other half, i hit snooze for an hour. then once i'm up, i swear off soda and all things sugar.
and then i get to work. and i stare at this ALL DAYand really, how can i not grab 2 or 10?

plus, this is right down the hall(*please note the soda to water ratio)
and my boss asks me almost every time i go in there if i want one.

is it sad that i'm going to become obese and no one is even going to think twice about it?


but really, it's not even really all about weight. i'm ridiculously out of shape. i probably haven't run a mile since my freshman year of high school.

so, here are my new goals:
-run a mile without wanting to chop my legs off afterward
-actually run the whole mile
-do a pull-up without pushing off the ground (yes i'm aware that would mean i'm not even really doing a pull-up).
-be able to run to my car when i forget my wallet without having to take a breather
-stop telling people i have asthma, because i don't (but i am supposed to use an inhaler before any physical activity).
-stop using my back issues as an excuse.
-do sit-ups or push-ups during all commercial breaks (you won't even believe how many shows i watch).

i'll keep you posted.
