confessions

Yeah, so my future 30-90 day relationship Jillian has been delayed a few more days.  I made the poor decision to invest my time finishing over 1600 pages of reading.  Was it worth it?  Did I need to forgo my workouts to be entertained by print.  Probably not, but I have a habit of not being able to easily put down a book once I start it.  I think I set a record reading 20 books in 16 days back in February.  Yes, I should have not started in the first place knowing this about myself.  Hindsight is 20/20 so they say.  But let's face it, a book is a lot more pleasurable than working out, and you don't have to take a shower after because you stink!  Well anyway, the point is that I finished the 2nd book (3rd one in the series won't come out until next summer probably, so I'm safe!), and now there's still time to get a little training on the elliptical done before bed and after taking the dog for a walk.

Better hop to it because San Francisco and 13.1 miles are only 5 weeks away!

Ugh, I can't end this post yet because it feels like I'm only just making excuses for my procrastination.  There's actually good stuff going on behind the scenes too.  I'm making some changes in my diet that are really having a positive impact.  I have cut out drinking soda, diet soda specifically, and significantly reduced my sugar, cheese, preservatives, and bread intake. And I have to say that I'm tolerating it all really well.  I'm most surprised about the diet soda because that was my primary source of caffeine, but I've been slowly weaning myself off of it these past few months by just not buying a stash for the refrigerator at home. It's only been the past two weeks where I've gone completely without.  The last time I tried to not drink soda was during lent, and that didn't work out so well.  Anyway, that's just a "yea me" moment to offset the poor attempt at rationalizing my laziness!
