Fitness, shopping, and my latest obsession

[holdouttrout]

I am currently on week two of Couch to 5K, which means I can run for a whole minute and a half at a time! Whoo! I'm concentrating on stretching this time around, as I haven't managed to get very far any other time I have tried to do the plan because things start to hurt.

Speaking of hurting, who decided I needed ovaries?

I just went on a shopping trip recently--do you know that feeling when you haven't found ANYTHING you like for ages, and then you suddenly hit a good day and get stuff that fits you well and looks nice and doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Yeah. It's a good feeling. Also, I found an awesome maxi dress (Those pictures do not do it justice). I've wanted one for ages, but they usually don't work on me like, at all. So happy.

I wore it today. :-)

Other things I'm doing today include cooking some lunches for the week, using my free item from my Red Robin rewards card, and watching copious amounts of Buffy season three. (Currently, Xander is having a really strange night.)

Watching Buffy is teaching me that I don't throw enough shit at the fan when I write. Buffy is great at that. Things going well? DEMON APPEARS. Heart-warming moment? LIES REVEALED. It's definitely a lesson worth learning.

Go you for running! I encourage you to just keep plugging away at it and pretty soon you'll be running for even longer intervals. And the physical effects are pretty nice too--stronger legs, stronger lungs, just feeling better about yourself!

My lungs are already WAY improved. Which is nice! :-)

I so feel your pain. Yay for finding one that works for you!

I was talking about BSG the other day and thinking something very similar to this. I mean, except without the demons, lol. But I just hate to hurt them that much! Possibly I need to detach a bit from my characters. *g*

It's so wonderful! I've worn the dress twice already, and I got so many compliments that my head swelled up to at least twice its normal size.

YES. I don't want to hurt my pretty characters. This might also explain that, while I love reading angst, I'm not so great at writing it. :-)
