I'm on the bandwagon!!

I'd like to start with this video that Colin just shared. It adheres 100% to my goal of Operation:Hot. Getting fit while not changing my drinking habits (only my mild junkfood consumption.). Austinites, anyone wanna see who can do the worm all the way across the dancefloor of the Elysium? Tampanians, let's bring back that whole roller disco thing they had going for 2 seconds at Czar. I'm gonna need SOMETHING to do when I visit. Ya know, besides bitching about how much Tampa sucks.

Pullups on a traffic signal while wearing a suit? I'd do that guy.


After Daniella reminded me of it's awesomeness, I decided to start, and COMMIT to the Couch to 5k program! I'm extremely pleased with myself, because I made it the entire stretch of my neighborhood, which is 2 miles! My first attempt at jogging without a plan ended up being very similar to the jog-walk-jog-walk pattern, but, I was twice as exhausted, and didn't feel that I really had a goal. And I only made it a mile (see my 2nd entry). Today was completely different. Timing my run, and my distance made the running part just mechanical. After the first mile I became so delirious (runners high? booze withdrawls? who's to say...) that I was actually able to focus, center, and find my breath. All the sudden breathing in and out became the adventure, instead of moving my feet. I think today was a super successful first day, and I'm actually looking forward to Friday when I do the 2nd segment of the first week's workout plan.

After that, I cooled out with some yoga to get rid of some extra energy. I SERIOUSLY recommend that everyone check out the yoga dude in my 2nd post. The video is so easy to understand, and I later found out that it's the basic flow that other yogas are based on. Yay! Not to mention it lights your abs on fire. And makes sex better. I'm serious. KEGELS!!!

So, that was my 70% commitment to myself. Today I came through on my 20% commitment as well....FOOD! I ate like crap all day before my workout, and realized I'd feel a lot better without a bunch of bullshit in my system. So I went to HEB, spent $60 and got enough stuff to make yummy healthy meals and snacks for the week! Nate claims he'll eat tofu. I told him he'll eat tofu or starve, so, there ya go. I cooked up a couple meals to take to work. I made Crispy Seitan Stir-Fry, except instead of seitan I used tofu, because I just couldn't find the stuff. I even went to the "hipster" HEB. I'll have to suck it up and deal with the Whole Foods parking situation next time.




     

I'm so pumped to have a week of healthy fooooods! If I'm able to score a side job soon (HIRE ME. I'M SO RAD AND I LOVE PAPERWORK. LET ME DO YOUR PAYROLL.), it'll be non stop healthies! Lucky me, Udon noodles are cheap, and not terrible for you. Well, at least not as bad as a McDonalds cheeseburger. And, since you guys give a flying fuck, here's a vid of all the fun stuff I bought at the store today, and what I intent to do with it! Don't cry tho. I'm too lazy to put makeup on, so I'm showing my true colors. Or lack thereof. Later hotties!
