Let's Get Physical

Well, it’s that time of year - summer is almost upon us. This means lots of sun, lots of fun, and a lot more skin. Not too much skin for me because I just can’t pull off the whole hooker look. Trust me, I’ve tried and the only thing it got me was an invitation from a guy named Bubba to visit his trailer of love. And clearly, that wasn’t happenin.

And while it isn’t entirely related to the prospect of summer, I have been SO good about working out lately. I’ve hit the gym every day for the past 4 weeks - with the exception of last week and that was just crazy because between meetings and lunch dates I didn’t go AT ALL. I’m not doing anything major – just walking but I’m getting in 2.5 miles every day. And that’s movement my body wasn’t getting before.

I’ve also been working out at home – strength training and cardio rotation. I’ve tried to do it every night but I’ve missed a few here and there. But I’ve been much more consistent than I have been in a long, long time.

So this is progress folks! My body hasn’t changed at all - actually, that’s not true. I’ve gotten some nice new dimples in the back of my thighs. Apparently my cellulite has quadrupled. I’m not sure if it’s true but someone told me that happens sometimes when you start working out – the muscle you build underneath pushes the fat out. If that’s true, I hope the muscle keeps on pushing until all those cute little dimples are gone.

So my body hasn’t changed for the better but I feel healthier and stronger and know it’s good for me. Plus, being physical totally makes me feel hot and that's a win for everybody.
