"Look At Me Now".....

.... nope, I am not conceited, just loving that song right now! In my head, instead of "I'm getting paper", I hear "I'm getting thinner."

     No, I am not obsessed with my weight. For the first time in a VERY long time I am running for my health and because I want to, not with a weight goal in mind. It's just catchier with my lyrics. I don't work so I'm not getting "paper" (Mom- that's gangster for money)

    That being said, I bought a pair of Nike Tempo shorts last weekend. They fit and were really comfortable... in the dressing room. Went for a run in them yesterday and was very uncomfortable. Not because of how my legs looked, but for fear of what was showing. I really wished I had a rear-view mirror. I could see that they were riding up in the front but not enough so that anything inappropriate was showing. But I couldn't see the backside... I was afraid of this:

 Which I borrowed from RunningOffTheReese's

     I mean as long as this wasn't happening, I am A-OK with the thighs jiggling. I mean really, who cares?? I am out there being active! And curves are SEXY! Even Skinny Runner talked about it today, see here.

  My poor husband is sooo worried I am going to end up all skin and bones. Don't worry babe, not going to happen! I may lose a little weight but will never look like this.

     Now that was a kind of random tangent. Good news is I did work out yesterday. I put the poor puppy in her cage and left her :( 

     I got in several workouts:

* 2 mile run (I wasn't feeling it and was feeling a little dehydrated)

* 5 mile bike ride (to and from the gym- it is Earth Day week after all)

* AND a good weight-training workout (which I TOTALLY feel this morning)

     Notice I said I biked to and FROM the gym... Why do I keep thinking a bike ride after a hard workout is a good idea??

     Today's Goals:

4 mile Run

P90X Ab Ripper

Walks with Puppy :)
