62. July 1st, 2010 Picture.

So I was back to work last Thursday, back after using all my vacation days, sad. I enjoyed my time off, but wasn't nearly as productive as I was planning or hoping. I'm going to run every day! I am going to paint a piece of furniture, a chair! I am going to go antiquing! I am going to go to farmers markets all the time! I am going to organize my room! I am going to roast my own garlic and store them in mason jars in my fridge! Or not. I did go to the beach almost every day, and just plain ol' relaxed. It was nice. We can't all be Martha Stewart now, can we?

Of course, now that I am back to work, I decided that I need to buckle down and do something. I wanted to run more on my vacation, I've been saying that for a while now, but had yet to follow through. There was always tomorrow, or Monday, or next week when I have more time, but I always talked myself out of it. SO, that being said, I decided to hit the gym on Thursday, after my long sabbatical of Pilates. I belong to a pilates studio and the gym, but end up at pilates far more than Gold's. I went for the first time in a few months, nervous that when I scanned my ID a red announcement would show up on the computer flashing FAIRWEATHER GYM GO-ER! Well, it didn't but I still felt ashamed.

I got on the treadmill and ran. It felt good to run, good to sweat and pound my feet to loud, thumping music. I need to make an effort to make it there a few times a week. My pilates studio is busy, and once or twice I haven't been able to get in a class because it's full. If that happens again, I need to take my pretty little self to the gym and still work out. I need it. I complain that my jeans from when I was 18 don't fit anymore (WHAT? They are cute and I really like them and I look SO skinny in themmmm!). I should stop complaining and make them fit, right? Or like, try and make them fit. Or maybe make the jeans from when I was 21 fit first. Baby steps. K, I guess this a start to number 79 too. Lose 10 pounds. I guess I should buy a scale so I can see what my starting weight is. Ugh.
