More Goals That I'll Never Accomplish!

I've started working out... for real this time. I'm not particularly chubby, or looking for a mate, but I thought it might make me feel better. I've been told your body release endorphins when you exercise - free drugs, what's not to like?! Burning thighs, that's what. I worked out for only 30 minutes yesterday, but my thighs are still burning. Whenever I walk up stairs, I feel like I'm going to collapse... which tells me I'm really out of shape.

I also think if I strength train a bit, I should be able to lift things without straining my tendinitis or hurting myself. Also, if I get back into the shape that I was when I was a gymnast, I can be batgirl and fight crime. There are so many benefits of exercising.

Also, I've been eating fruits and veggies like mad crazy. I love pineapple and celery. Sure, I still eat fried food... but that will never stop. It's too delicious. But, I'm trying to eat better...

Today I held an on-phone family therapy session. Not really. My spoiled sister upset my mom, my mom went hormone crazy, I talked to them both for an hour, etc... Hopefully that drama settles, because I want to go home and visit this weekend.

I also went and saw an apartment randomly after work. IT WAS A DREAM. One bedroom, one bathroom, built in cabinets/wardrobe, hardwood floors, A/C, stainless steel appliances, and A DISHWASHER! I've never experienced a dishwasher before - that was just my father's nickname. I'm quite excited. Rent is $945 - which is do-able between Derek and I. I'M SO EXCITED! A CLEAN APARTMENT! YESSS! I'M GONNA DECORATE SO MAD CRAZY! Also, I think the landlord is a nerd due to his Star Trek pendant on his necklace... another bonus.

Still nervous about my meeting tomorrow, but I'm going to man up! I suppose I'll work out now and work on revising a paper. Then maybe look into the embryonic stem cell issue with the NIH. I want to send in a comment that embryonic stem cells are a must and that people's ethical issues need to get out of the way of science. They don't tell you how to do your job (unless you're doing it wrong, of course).
