currently listening to: we'll be alright - travis mccoy
so, hey! i said i would post more so here i am. i even logged into blogger before i checked my tumblr which is a first for these past few months. today started out like my other days. check it out.
- wake up before lunchtime to the sound of the phone ringing. it's my mom telling me what to eat for lunch.
- when i start feeling hungry, i eat lunch.
- i watch tv. gotta check if there's anything good on HBO or star movies. watch some tv show if there's none.
- boot up the computer and surf the internet until dinner.
that sounds really bad but i guess that's how life is for me. i'm home alone most of the time and i don't have a lot to do. i usually just eat and eat and eat.
that got me thinking. how am i supposed to look good in any of my clothes if i'm fat? so after watching cadillac records on HBO, i decided to lay off the nissin chocolate wafers for a while and go use our treadmill machine. the computer thing on our treadmill machine is broken because it was attacked by ondoy. but it still works, you just don't get any of the stats like how far you're going or your speed or how many calories you've burned. i decided to just put some running shoes on, crank up my ipod and start running. bad idea. the treadmill was inclined and i don't think that's good for someone who's just starting out. i would have fixed it but i didn't know how to do it manually. so i say to myself, run for an hour then do it again tomorrow.
i lasted for less than 30 minutes. halfway through i was dripping with sweat (i didn't have a towel with me and i was too lazy to go up to my room to get one. after all, i was on a roll.) and the music coming out of my ipod wasn't jiving with the high energy i needed to finish the whole hour.
so i've decided to just google some tips for a treadmill workout and make a playlist that's full of upbeat songs. there. i'll try again tomorrow.
but right now, let me be sad for missing 3/4 of the latest episode of glee on ETC. the only thing that makes me kind of happy right now is it's the finale of american idol in less than an hour. booyah!
*i just ate a cinnamon roll and half a bottle of pringles. good thing i worked out today :))
