Staying Sharp!

I love to people watch, and the gym is exception to this. Probably my favorite thing about the way The Fitness Connection is set up is that the EFX machines are in the back, so you can see everyone when you use one of them. I play mind games with myself about all the people in front of me. Weather they are running, stretching, biking, whatever, I create a story in my head about them. Sometimes I watch people run and think about the way they run, if they are really smooth I try to copy their moves. I think my favorite game to play other than check out every one's shoes and clothes is what I call "I wonder what your face looks like". I play this game when I can watch a person work out, look at their body, but have no idea what their face looks like. It keeps me entertained. I was telling Shelley about this the other day and she told me that she had just read an article that said playing games with people at the gym is a great way to stay motivated. And I just thought I was creepy, turns out I am staying motivated. How 'bout that?

Today I rocked the EFX and ran. I hate running. On the tredmill that is. I feel so obnoxious and awkward. I can't wait to get outside and run! I am so excited Rach
offered to be my running partner this morning. I think this spring has great things in store for us! Tomorrow is my swim night, after Wellness University that is. I can't explain how much I love swimming. But I just love it. Love it.

My goal this week is sleep. I have been staying up too late lately and that needs to stop. Granted I have read some amazing books, but I need to limit my reading time at night. My goal is to be in bed by 9:00 each night. I am currently reading White Tiger, but I am not far enough into it to review it for you. In time. In other news on trying to keep my mind sharp; Rach and I are attending Inside Stories: Desperate Housewives at the Toledo Museum of Art next Friday night. If it is good we might put a monthly museum night on our calenders. Seeing as though they will have beer and wine who can turn that down?

Three weeks from today, at almost this very moment I will getting off of a plane with my boy on my arm in St. Thomas. I am beyond excited. I need to work hard in the gym these next weeks to make sure I look good on the beach! Short term goal: Beach body. Long term goal: Tri-training. Check and check.
