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.
