proud of me

i got my 2+ miles in today. my late morning run took a bit outta me but then i got just the boost i needed on facebook. not only did someone randomly flirt w/ me through fb message (which i simply found highly amusing) but i got wind of a new makeup contest. you can check out the look i did for my entry later in the week over on my other blog.

im also full of excitement because temp agency #1 (the one actually doing anything) found me another 3-day placement. it sucks that it's so short term but the way my life is right now, im available and i'll take what i can get...AS FAR AS JOBS, not that other thing. feeling pretty good right now.

"all them mocha lattes..."

so here's the thing with my exercise. i'm the type of person who needs to see results QUICKLY. i need instant gratification, not just with this but in general. i guess you can say i'm a rather impulsive person because of this. so anyway, i'm not losing any weight. honestly, that is to be expected. i'm not doing nearly enough or modifying my eating habits such that to warrant weight loss. that really was not the goal. the goal was to get me in the habit of doing something physical everyday and technically i did something physical yesterday but im not counting that as exercise. 

the goal was to also tighten up from the first 20 lbs i lost at the end of last year. that goal was not achieved and what i didnt notice before has become blaringly obvious, the cellulite on my thighs. im going to get some firming lotion on that and see how well that helps. 

so today im just going to do some crunches and spend some time with my weights and call it a day. i didn't sleep well last night so i am in no mood for running or pilates...
