Doppleganger

Almost a year ago, my friend Holly brought me a picture she found from one of her magazines. She thought that maybe I had taken up modeling and not mentioned it to anyone. The last time I modeled was in 6th grade and it involved some big poofy bangs, a flowered dress with shoulder pads, and black flats. I will be sure to post that pic as soon as I get it from my parents house. Anyway, I was doing some spring cleaning today and found the magazine page folded and tucked into one of my old purses.....

So what do you think? Do I have a twin or what??

Last Chance Loser!

Here's been the routine lately...

Get dressed to work out. Tie my shoes. Stretch. Head downstairs to the gym.

Stare at the treadmill.

Run back upstairs to check email. Get a drink. Use the bathroom. Check email one more time just in case. Head back downstairs.

Stare at the treadmill some more.

Run back upstairs to check facebook. Check if there's any blog updates. Pet the cat. Put on a load of laundry. Stretch one more time.

Stare at the treadmill with pure hatred and depise. Make "uhhhh" noise.

Turn on the TV and go to OnDemand exercise TV and instead of hating the treadmill, hate Jillian Michaels and her demands to "pump it out" and accusations that it's my own fault for turning on her Last Chance workout and I better "feel the burn" or else she is literally "going to jump through the tv and kick me in the butt herself!"

But it's totally more fun than that stupid treadmill!* And really the point of this post is to share about exercise TV! It's something different every day and you can choose what body part you want to work out and they range from 10-45 mins approx depending on how long you have.

"I want YOU to be healthier Jamie!" "So stop blogging and do a sit up for crap's sake you lazy schlub!"
"You are worth it Jamie, so feel that burn and get off the computer already!"

Ok, I better go.
*The treadmill was a very generous gift from my in-laws several years ago. And I actually love walking/running, but I am in an anti-run phase right now. It will pass. I love my treadmill, just not today!
