i'm still alive!
sorry for the lack of updation. i just made up that word. :)
i am not sick anymore...good thing, it's been a week! i was back to work on wednesday. just a weird bug.
i've been working out somewhat consistently for two weeks now. i've been using my cindy crawford "shape your body" dvd, and you can laugh all you want, but it kicks your butt. there are two alternating 45 minute workouts...it's a lot of crunches, lunges, squats...you know, the really FUN stuff. it was great at first *sarcasm alert*...couldn't even sit down on the toilet without an "ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow"...but it's better now. i am downright SHOCKED at how quick you see results with this routine...i am definitely firmer all over, quite noticeably, and i can feel all my muscles when i'm walking. and no, i'm not working out because i think i'm fat or anything like that...i just wanted to take better care of myself. i mean, i wasn't bathing suit-ready...and i wasn't satisfied with the health of my body. i wasn't getting any physical activity (outside of the usual daily stuff), and i just felt weak and tired all the time. i'm really excited about this...i am just trying to take it a day at a time...some days i get up early to do it, some days i do it when i get home from work...i feel so good. if you are looking for a workout to do at home that will give you SUPER results (quickly, to motivate you to continue!), this is one to try. just prepare to be sore for a few days at first! and one day...you do 300 crunches...different positions...ugh. it sucks. but it gets easier if you keep it up!
i wasn't going to mention this, because both of my parents read this, (i love you guys!) but it's part of my life, so i'm going to. today is six years that my parents have been divorced. so please keep them and my brother and i in your prayers/thoughts today. i'm sure it's not easy for either of them to get through this day, and it's certainly not fun for me. march is a bad month for aaron and i (and our families)...we appreciate all of our friends who are there for us. :) mom and dad, i love you. whether you're married or not, you're still my mom and dad, and nothing can change that. please know that i fully support and love you both for who you are, and i always always will. the past is forgiven and behind us...and we are still family.
on a completely different subject, waltz for venus had a show last night at birdy's with the brand-new lineup, and it was AMAZING. just a totally different sound. i felt like i was seeing them for the first time all over again: addition of piano on a few tracks, a fuller sound, more background vocals, higher energy, renewed ROCK-ness. (i'm just full of new words, aren't i?) i was in awe. if they're playing in your area, PLEASE go see them! the new songs are really good, and these guys deserve to GO SOMEWHERE. i'm sure you'll agree when you see them yourself. check out their myspace! i'm not just saying this because my husband is a part of the band...i would totally be a fan even if he wasn't. take stereo deluxe, for example. i LOVE them, and i'm not married to any of THEM...so, see? i promote bands i love. no bias here...just go see 'em. they're playing at the knickerbocker in lafayette on april 15th.
okay, i've got to go. lots to do on this day "off". :)
LOVE!!!!!!
(esp. to my dear erin, who is suffering through her first chemical peel...feeling for you, sweetie!!! i'm gonna call you later!)
