The Mind is Strong, But the Body Weak.

I haven't updated in a long time... and i totally admit that it's my fault. My apologies. However i think i will be updating quite frequently from now on. I've just had so many random thoughts lately and there's no way to sort it out other than to blog them all.

First of all, i'd like to say that i've finally gotten around to pushing myself to work out every day! i'm actually really proud. You've no idea. Considering how lazy i am, it's considered something close to a miracle for me to get up everyday and make myself pull my bike out of the garden shed and bike to Grand Trunk to work out in the gym. Thankfully though, my friend Sandra has been amazing enough to agree to work out with me every single day to lessen my torture. In case i forget to say this the next time i see you: I LOVE YOU SANDRA! Thank you for spending money to buy a pass just to come exercise with me. It means a lot :)

I lose track of time quite easily i've noticed. For example, today when i went to work out, i actually stayed there for close to 4 hours. Yeah. What the hell was i doing? how am i supposed to know? When i got there, Sandra was there (which was a surprise because i thought she would've left since she had something to do later and needed time to go home and stuff) and we did some weights and what not. After she left (which was pretty much half an hour later) i started doing my own thing. Cardio... weights... lunges...stretches...cardio again...more weights... more weights... and next thing you know it's almost 6 o clock.
Yeah, i actually lift a lot of weights. Considering half the machinery in there is for weight lifting it's not like i have a choice, not to mention for a girl, i have stronger arms than most (i don't know if that's a good or bad thing) and weights are easy for me (most people prefer not to do weights because it's too hard. i mean, what kind of reason is that?)
I'm going back tomorrow (obviously.) and hopefully my abs will have recovered from our last workout so i can do some more core exercises. I'd forgotten how painful it is to work out the core muscles. The past 2 days i couldn't sneeze without cringing in pain; nor could i sit up in bed or cough or laugh without feeling soreness.

I'm still trying to find another job. God knows i need the money. I wish there was some miracle pill that cures the urges to shop. However when i DO shop, i'm always very picky. I'll go through every single rack and all the clothing on it and pick out the ones i like, then i'll try them on and toss out the bad ones, and FINALLY, the last step - look at the price tag. is it worth it? most of them aren't. Even though i succumb to my shopping urges a lot, i CAN tell a need from a want...
I actually plan to go shopping sometime soon. I heard from Ashley that there's a giant sale on flip-flops at Army & Navy and that she bought 10 pairs of flip flops. Amazing, how many shoes does a girl need anyways? I'm not one to talk though, considering i have millions of shoes. I think i own the most shoes out of my entire family, INCLUDING all my cousins and aunts and uncles and whatnot. Oh well, time to add flip-flops to the collection! After all, most of my shoes are heels and i don't have any flip flops whatsoever. It's nice to have a variety.

I think i will end this blog there, my mom has just announced that dinner is served~ i wonder what's cooking? Probably something delicious as always :) Moms food is always the best!
