I feel like I’m slacking in the exercise aspect of my life even though I have consistently worked out for at least 15 minutes a day. I’ve been rotating between cardio workouts and the ab workouts and some of the ab workouts I do aren’t really that… "physically exhausting" so I feel like I’m slacking. Gotta pick up the pace so I can feel every day that I’ve spent the right amount of energy on this.

I guess I started counting calories. I never really wanted to do that because that portion of dieting always pissed me off but this is actually pretty nice. I’ve downloaded a few apps on my iPod that are helping. There’s a weight loss/calorie tracker that gives me the amount of calories I should strive to eat in order to lose weight. It’s higher than I thought, like 1510 calories. I’ve eaten basically everything I’ll eat today and I’m at 1180. I may eat an apple or something later to hold me over.

Then I got this ExerciseTV thing that I actually find to be pretty awesome (Katy, if you have an iPhone or an iPod you should download this or even just go to the website and follow some of the videos).
It randomly chooses exercise programs for the week, you never get to know what they are, and each day you just perform the exercise routine that it gives you to do for that day. It varies between yoga, cardio, abs, etc etc. It’s all randomized and doesn’t require any kind of equipment. All you need is yourself!

Work has been pretty predictable lately. It’s weird to not really have anything to complain about at work. Greg loves me, Elliot loves me and Tony’s just a piece of shit asshole like always; HOWEVER, Tony has seemed to learned to just leave me alone. I don’t need micro-management and if he DOES try to get in my shit then I metaphorically bite his hand. So, needless to say, it’s been pretty awesome. I do my job, they leave me alone, done deal!

Adam and I have been having some issues lately, though I’m not sure Adam is fully privy to how I feel. I’ve always been rather emotionally distant when it comes to things like this and while I express some emotions its really hard for me to express other ones. We’ll get it worked out, we’re strong and awesome like that, haha.
I’m getting more and more excited about this cruise. 🙂 Although I really, really hope I can at least drop a few pounds before I go. I really think I can do it, I just need to set my mind to it. I may put the P90X on the back burner and go with some other, easier routines first until I get the stamina and strength to do P90X. The shit is intense and it’s incredibly hard on my knees.

Well, I’m off to do a 40 minute cardio work out.
Hope everyone is well!
