and then some
I don't understand how I can wake up early on a Saturday to get to the gym. Sweat my ass off, then come home and crash the whole afternoon. I feel so non-energetic and immobile in my bed. Where is that energy that the gym is supposed to provide?
So I had this insane craving for Nutella on bread for awhile. Today, I SATURATED that craving and then some by spreading a generous serving Nutella over 3 madelines (buttery cookie-cake yummy stuff), oh and the serving of chocolate ice cream before that.
Now, my lazy ass is in bed, digesting all this chocolate.
At least this moment of weakness / celebration gives me a reason to haul my ass to the gym.

Sweaty and Panting
Doing something motivating, like taking a Spinning class, is pretty euphoric. I feel my best and in my element when I'm drenched in sweat and it's one of those "good" days where you can keep up and the music is just right to keep you going.
I love it because I don't have to worry about how I look since everyone else is sweaty and crazy looking, panting and dripping. All you have to worry about is your posture and your breathing. THAT'S IT. :)
Next (hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday): Upper body. Can't wait for the assisted pull-ups. Not looking forward to the ab workout. ugh. boring.

Can't live with them, Can't live without them
I've found the guy who is down to motivate me to work out and actually go to the gym with me, will out-run me but I can out-bike/out-walk him, motivate me to eat right, cook for me, teach me how to cook, clean way better than me, has more expensive taste than I do (I get it from him), can shop with me and knows my taste... and recently just found out he can yell more than me and louder. Shoot. I thought I was bad. If I raise my voice for no reason most times, it's because of him.
I've met the woman who doesn't tire of shopping, loves to try new food, miraculously pulls out that thing you need from her bag/room, can sew a thrift shop dress into a couture creation, buys things with you in mind, feeds her family, will compliment/criticize without having to think twice, great provider, treats family out to dinner/shopping, gives great bday presents.
They can drive me crazy at times, but I couldn't think of a life without them. That's because without them, I'd have no life. Literally.
