Decisions, Decisions.

Its official, I will begin working on September 13.. but what to do before then to occupy my time? I was staring into the mirror today, wondering this question. As I was staring, I noticed how the lack of working out was starting to show. My muscle tone that I worked so hard for this summer is beginning to fade. How do adults stay in shape? Well, let me first rephrase that, because still, I do not consider myself an adult- more so a girlperson- a species that has not evolved nor will ever make that epic turn to adult-hood. I still enjoy coloring and acting like a 12 year old, so the word adult is a little over-doing it in my vocabulary.

The question still stands, how do girlpersons stay in shape? Joining a gym is outrageous and tv exercise just doesn't do it. Running outside helps, but running can only do so much. When I was working at my internship and back in Atlanta, my mom and I would walk the dog at 6 am every morning- knowing that I had some exercise took the stress of going to the gym every day off. The problem with making it to the gym some of the times was that I was so tired, my eyes wouldn't stay open. Is this some sort of punishment for getting older? Or are there special pills to help with this- some magic potion that really worked and isn't a hazard to my health? Any adults that know more than me... please feel free to give me the wisdom. Whatever the cause, I NEED to get back into shape- there is no way around it, because my budget does not allow for me to go up a size in anything. Its just a fact of life right now. So, on top of everything else I will be exploring in the next 2 weeks, I am going to explore how New Yorkers stay in shape without joining a gym.

I am still at a road block, what to do this week. Other than get my butt back into some sort of athletic shape- I think I am going to explore the museums this week- see what interesting people I can watch there and what interesting facts I can learn. It should be interesting...

Peace, Love and Fitting into my jeans,
