My Milkshake

Yeah, I'm trying to get rid of it. Or, maybe move it to where it's supposed to go. I was just reading a runner blog that a friend of mine follows. Very interesting and inspiring. Makes me almost excited to do Day 2 of Week 4 of the Couch 2 5K Program tomorrow. Week four ups the ante a little bit, and instead of only 9 minutes of running total there is now 16. Joe and I completed it yesterday, and I thought I would die. Stupidly, I only did 2 of the 3 exercises for week 3, which I'm realizing now was probably a pretty pivotal week. Further, I didn't walk much on my off days. Dumb dumb. We walked tonight, though, and I'm ready to eat right tomorrow and do what it takes to make Wk4/Day2 a success.

I was looking through pics tonight and came across a few from my college graduation in 2005. Damn, what a difference only five years can make. I was slim and my clothes fit well. Why do we have to have to be in the best shape when we're young and dumb?? I'm still slim now, yes, but I'm a little lumpy and some of my pants hurt my stomach due to their ill fit. My ass isn't too tight in them, just my stomach. Awesome. You girls with a big butt and a small waist, curse you.

Dude, I look in the mirror and I see crow's feet, gray hair, and a back fat that hangs over my jeans. I've gained 10 lbs and the perpetual dark circles since I started grad school. But, dammit, I'm almost 30 and I LOOK GREAT! YEAH!

You will always be a hottie! xoxox

It's so hard to see past the things that we don't like. We're all guilty of it. I wish we could look at ourselves and see all the awesome things about us. Legs that are strong enough for us to run, smile lines and crows feet because we laugh a lot, etc. Don't be too hard on yourself and I'll try to practice what I preach and be nicer to moi!
