jianantonicI registered for the Earlysville Turkey Trot today. That's a 5k on Thanksgiving morning. A nice and hilly one. Eep.
Since I started work, and okay, since before then, I have been less than diligent with my body. Both the food (and quasi-food) that I eat and the exercise that I get. This shit needs to change.
It's really hard, though, and I can pull a million excuses out of my ass. But...excuses won't keep me from getting lumpy. So, paying an assload of money to enter a race seems like a good step toward short-term accountability.
I think I want to go back to Weight Watchers. I'll need to severely curtail my crap intake, and step it up in the gym. I hate how little time there is in the day when I am at work for 10+ hours of it. I did set my alarm for 5am tomorrow in an effort to get back in the early morning gym habit (which I never really established in the first place, I guess, but I did go three days in a row). I can't go after work because I'll be watching the VT-GT game with the other Portland Hokies in Southeast.
I'm also leaving for a cruise in a week. It's going to be motherfoxtrotting difficult to stay disciplined, but I'll just have to use more of my free time working out, since I won't have work getting in the way. I do miss being a journalist, and could go back to it at any time I suppose, but holy sparkle it's wonderful to go on vacation and just BE ON VACATION, and not be constantly brainstorming and notetaking for my next article. Poor Meg, she has to carry a pen with her when she stays at five-star resorts in exotic locales for free! Well, I'm paying for this one out of pocket, and that means the pen stays in the room. Next to the postcards, which you'll all be getting, if you so request...
