Good Day Sunshine!

So I went to the gym tonight. I ran on the elliptical until I was so pooped I thought I couldn't go on, but then I thought about this thing I read somewhere, about how you only start burning fat after 20 minutes, so, realizing that in essence (according to the fat on my ass), I had just begun working out "really," I pressed on. When I couldn't run anymore, I thought back to what I used to do when I was in shape and working out with Kathleen (the worlds best personal trainer...too bad she's become a nurse). She used to make me get on a different machine when I was exhausted and make me go for "Just 5 more minutes," -It was such a lie. But my ass thanked her...it was so cute and round back then. So in honor of Kathleen, I hopped on a bike and pedaled for 20 more minutes. It was so nice. Then I went to the chin-up machine, and did 4 chin-ups! Yay! I'm so butch!  -then (yes, I'm bloging about my workout, and if you're still reading this I'm impressed) I did 100...yes 100 crunches! Oh yeah! I melted in the hot tub and met a cute guy named Jesse, who had his name monogrammed on his towel. Charming. Really. Life is good today. I chanted with my Mom this morning. She made it all the way through the book (which is pretty impressive because she basically read the lotus sutra in Japanese, and she has a brain disease that makes her life really hard...I'm so proud of her for challenging her obstacles. I love my Mom so much!) then we went for a walk around the lake and got some super yumbo groceries for dinner. Uber good salads, mesquite tri-tip (drool), and macaroons (Mom picked those). All in all this day rocked! I hung out with Jessica. And now I should get to sleep. I'm going to the beach on Wednesday; hopefully I will get to go surfing! It all depends on how adventurous my friend feels.
