Day 2:
12:30 PM

Well, this morning I woke up slightly sore. So I thought I would talk about how I hate being in pain. I have the lowest pain threshold of anyone I know… But I can get tattooed repeatedly (figure that one out.) The thought of being in pain, really bothers me, I am not excited for that one. So anyone know how to NOT be in pain?

I posted the blog last night and got a few great responses and cheers. If I’m being honest, I cried a little. Not like sobbing tears, but more the rolling down the cheek, no-I-just-go-something-in-my-eye kind. And I blinked them away. Bottom line, I refuse to feel sorry for myself, what does that do anyway? Except make me want to eat ice cream and watch Grey’s Anatomy re-runs, specifically Season 2.

So I'm trying to look at this fitness thing more as an adventure, maybe in a couple months I can do a marathon (Not likely, I hate running!) Listen, I have big boobs. Running and I just don’t get along. I’m afraid I might injure myself terribly. And if I lose ANYTHING I hope it’s not my boobs. I could stand for some arm fat to disappear, and that stomach roll I’ve seem to develop…roll, who am I kidding it’s a keg. But more so, not focus on how much it sucks, but actively train my brain to get pumped the way I see so many people do (I think you guys are crazy!) I read somewhere about people drinking shakes, when they "knew" it was full fat they appeared more fuller and satisfied, when they thought it was "low fat" and healthy, they were less satisfied. I've got to look at that salad and think about it like it was a Culver's burger.

Mmm Burger.

I feel like thinking about that made me put on weight.

In any event, I was going to go about my day and ignore the fact that I rode the bike last night but then I remembered I had to shower. Don’t get me wrong, I love smelling clean, but I hate showering after I’ve already showered. So I don’t think I will be the work out in the middle of the day girl, Because then I’d have to shower again. Hey, whatever motivates me right?

What’s the point of telling you my hygiene habits? Basically I decided that I was going to start the work out now, right after waking up, before I showered. So that will apparently be my thing, start now. Don’t push it off until later. This means I may have to wake up earlier and I’m not completely sure how I feel about that.

Here are two things I noticed:
1. After 3 minutes, I was ready to quit.
2. I have a lot of depressing songs on my Iphone, that’s got to stop.
3. I like working out so much better when my boyfriend isn’t standing on the sidelines cheering me on and trying to turn the TV on for me. Bless his heart,but go away, this is personal.

So, the following are songs that motivated me during the work out:
1. Paramore – Hallelujah: This song specifically got me just from “This time we’re not giving up”
2. Black Gold – Detroit: “sympathies go round and round, a handful helps it all go down…”
3. Jordin Sparks – Battlefeild: “I never meant to start a war”
