So, my work-out routine has finally taken shape and it begins with a 15 – 20 minute walk/jog/run (2 minutes “walking,” 1 minute “jogging” on and off). I’m pretty proud of this considering I started no where. I never thought I would even be doing one mile let alone three in a week. And no, this isn’t vain. This is just a pat on the back to myself and to wherever is reading this. If you think it’s vain, I don’t really care.
I’m actually finally starting to notice a difference not only physically, but mentally, which is refreshing. I think this is just a self affirmation that I need to go to the gym. I should have started a long time ago. I don’t know why I didn’t.
IN OTHER NEWS: I wish Whole Foods had a nibbling policy that, well, allowed nibbling. Because every time I go there and buy food from their hot/cold bar I end up with $12.00+ of food. And no, I don’t weigh it. So, of course, it’s all my fault. But regardless, I want to nibble. It could be done in a sanitary way if they wanted. I’m sure people would buy more that way.
I had my second job interview this week (all went well with all three), the third is tomorrow. I’m actually mostly looking forward to the one tomorrow because the company fits me the most. We’ll see though.
I also discovered some great new music with a friend last night. So, on that note…
– HELLO Whole Foods…food. Hello, wine. And hello, Little Boots, Stereophonics and Gabriella Cilmi!
It’s a rainy Saturday in Boston, but that’s not really keeping me down. I decided to sign up for another gym (my trial membership at Bally’s is about to expire). So, I went with Boston Sports Club. Funny story – I’ve been a member there before, however I never went. It had to do with fear of the gym and a health problem at the time. I think in the beginning though, before the health problem really set in, it was just my internal fear that I talked about earlier. I think I’m getting over that pretty fast.
On the way back picked up a yummy taco from Taco Loco. If you’re in the Boston metro area and haven’t tried Taco Loco, give them a bite. They’re excellent. Now I think it’s movie time or maybe a book. What movie? I’m thinking Un Prophète.
Well, I started going to the gym. I went to the gym on and off through the years. It started in college. Doesn’t everyone start in college? I think I’m a bit different though — I have a fear of gyms. For multiple reasons: what other people think of me, the locker rooms, — I guess I’m just terrified.
Well, I’m trying to break that phobia. Plus, I just want to be comfortable with myself. No, I don’t want to be a raging hulk. Yeah, I want to have nice pecs and some nice biceps…who doesn’t? But, most of all, I want to conquer a fear. One step at a time, right?
