I made it! I made it to the gym on a Saturday at 8a! Yay for boyfriend who works out, too and pushed me to the gym. We did our own home workout, but then went and burned some serious calories.
On my other goal front, I've now told my boss about it, so the fire is under my butt. I've got to get it written and have her rape it to be published. Outline will be finished today! Today. today. Maybe. haha. Inspiration! Come and get me!

Day 19: Jock Straps Were Made for a Reason
Somehow I managed to drag myself to the gym this morning. I don't know how. I got to the gym when it was hot, muggy, 80 degrees. I left when it was pouring, freezing and 65 degrees.
Welcome October! You're a little late.
Although, I was not ready for the freezing weather. But I made it to the gym. Tomorrow, kickboxing. Sunday, machine. We'll be on par.

Day 18: Fork in a U-Turn
The road to the gym is tricky. It's a giant u-turn. I could turn into the shopping center and order Chewy's take out. Or I could go around the corner to the gym.
This week I have started going back to the classes. I went to Strike! today. That class is always awesome, but since I hadn't been in a good while, I was training for training with the machines. Today was great. I haven't gone in the morning since Monday. It's getting harder and harder to get up at 430a to get to the gym. I will try it tomorrow since my wonderful boyfriend is coming into town. I would be too tired to go after work.
I'm trying to only take one day a week to take a break. Tuesday was my day off. Friday cannot be day two. Since Galen has gotten on this gym jag (finally!) he'll be going to the gym this weekend as well. So, Saturday will be good to get to kickboxing at 10a with a ga-jillion other people.
But nonetheless, I'm still on track.

Day 16: Fail
Yesterday, I rocked. I went first thing in the morning to the gym and rocked out for an hour. And then, you know what? I went to kickboxing for the first time in weeks.
David (voted in the top 10 most fit in Austin) totally kicked my ass. But I didn't go today. I woke up, got dressed and even got half way down the first flight of stairs of my apartment when I realized not only did my knee hurt like a bitch. But my right ankle is so sore. I was also so tired, I knew I would fall off the machine when I got there.
So, I came back in and slept for another hour.
And instead of going this evening, I've decided to help a friend. That was more important than burning calories.
But tomorrow, I will be there crack of dawn to work out like a fiend. I will not be able to go tomorrow evening.

Crisis Averted
The iPod lives to fight another day. Juiced it up for 4 minutes in the car, and it finally is up and updating/charging in the computer.
This Pod ain't corrupt!
Day 14: Damn you, Ty Pennington
Hey Ladies,
If you're reading--that is. (hi megan!) I managed to get to the gym this weekend even though I was spending time with my family and friends. Amazing, I know. Did my hour on Saturday morning and got to the gym this evening just in time to catch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Damn that show. I was nearly crying on the machine. I went over my hour just so I could see the family's reaction to Ashley Tisdale performing at their new home.
Tugs at the heart strings.
But I burned about 800 calories doing that and did okay on the diet.
Now, I have a new idea for a screenplay. I will not divulge that information here because I know industry professionals are reading this waiting for my dumb sentence structure to wow them into submission. But also because I'd rather not give you the context in which this line of dialogue will go. "It's like I'm fucking a cloud."
Yes, I thought that one up on the way home.
In other news, I have not touched my novel except for that blip last week, and my iPod is dead again. I tried plugging it into my computer to charge, but it is so dead it won't let me. And now the screen did something very scary. So, let's hope tomorrow it will continue to work.

Day 12: Fail and Half Fail
Yesterday was a fail. I even slept in an extra fifteen minutes I was so tired. I also did not get a chance to go to the gym after work because I thought it was more important to hang out with my best friend before she goes on a month long tour to Europe. Who wouldn't be jealous to go to Europe to play music and get paid for it. Anyway, I didn't go. But I did go this morning. However, the half fail came from only staying half an hour. I needed to come back and get ready for the day because once again I slept in.
I'm too tired. But the problem will be easily solved by going to bed a little earlier making me an old woman.
On the writing front, I'm moving, but very, very slowly. I hope the goal is still tangible.
Anyway, I have to get my day together.
While I may have only worked out for thirty minutes, I burned well over 4000 calories this week. That's more than a pound. I wish it would show up on the scale more, but it's something.
Happy Friday! And happy October!
