Embracing who I really, really am

I don't mean that in any spiritual or metaphysical way. I mean embracing that I am a lazy turd. I am happiest curled up in bed with my laptop and a giant Coke Zero. Bliss. I embrace that I am not 'sporty' and I am not 'outdoorsy'. I mean, I'm glad nature exists, and I like to be in nature for roughly 1-3 hours at a time, but unless it suddenly comes equipped with wi-fi and flush toilets it's not really my thing. I like the idea of it. I like the idea of putting on some fleecy thing I bought at a Lewis & Clark and some hiking boots and being super one with nature and sleeping under the stars but frankly, being outdoorsy doesn't really jive with two of my greatest loves: clothing with sequins and high heeled shoes. I tend to do better when I live in the middle of the city and go visit nature like a dear old friend I want to see sometimes but not actually be within regular visiting distance.

So I need to get into shape. And by get into shape I mean lose a crap ton of weight. I tried running in the morning but the second it dropped below 50F that went out the window. And no, no I cannot layer and get out there. I hate layers. This is one of the problems with being outdoors. You have to layer. Layers make me itchy and irritated and I get hot and sweaty and there's this whole thing where I can't have clothing touch my wrists. If you know me, you know all my shirts are stretched out from my pushing sleeves up to my elbows, even when they're not supposed to be there.

This year is all about as my mom just typed in an email, 'meeting you where you are.' And I'm often in my bedroom, trying to watch tv after getting home from Job #2 (an evening tutoring job). So here's my accountability. I'm buying a cheap treadmill (which is to say mom's buying it for me. It's awesome to be almost 30 and still be able to be a mooch off your parents) and I'm sticking it in my room along with a DVR and we are doing this thing. Plus, I've gotten into dance again which means more tutus for everyone. That yellow one from last year has gotten a lot of use in addition to provide hours of laughter for everyone forced to see me in it.

holla!

Alright. So here's to keeping me somewhat accountable and gaining a svelte new figure so I can continue to not date anyone because I'm an antisocial ice queen BUT now look really good doing it!
