So I went to see my buddy Ken for my weekly training session. Things were going just fine. I was working hard but I could handle it. At the end of our workout we do this super tough move that involves a combination of me stepping onto a high bench than raising my other knee to my chest and back down again, 15 times on each leg.
The last time we did this I thought I was going to fall out but I made it. Barely.
Today I did it, and I did fall out. I almost threw up. I had to stop. When I came out of the locker room my trainer says " Vandy when was the last time you ate?"
My response: " Ummmmm, I'm not sure." Ken: " You're not sure!" Me: " Ummm, I think like 6 last night...." Ken: "What! You have to eat!" Random nutritionist who appears out of nowhere " That's 20 hours without food, and the second you eat your body is going to convert that to fat. Which is exactly what we are trying to get rid of." Me: " I just forgot, and then I was running late. I eat. Honest."
Anyway, so I got a lecture. I realized two things:
I have to eat at regular intervals throughout the day.
I have to stop smoking ( they don't know about that)
It's so interesting how everything is connected. I'm working out and I like it, which in turn means I have to do other things better. Before you know it I'll be that healthy lifestyle person.
Ooooooh, and there was a total hottie in the gym today. He was working out really hard, then he put on his work clothes and came up to my trainer while we working out. He was scrumptious. Gotta love eye candy.

This morning though the final chain of bondage was sealed. I woke up and literally could not function without the assistance of a sugar free Red Bull. The thing is it works!!!
Ah well, at least I have a Costco membership and can buy the stuff in bulk.

And while I don't think every farming practice is great (See: making Cows cannibals thus leading to Mad Cow) I don't have a problem with making cows and pigs and apples and oranges BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER. Face it, folks. Technology is how we have solved most of the world's problems. I can't think of many times we have gone back. Can you imagine Ben Bernake going on CSPAN and announcing that feudalism is the solution to the current economic crisis??? ( Ha! So can I. It's funny isn't it? Exactly.)
So my advice: Wash your veggies, enjoy your meats from the local grocer, and calm down. Poor people might have cooties but they won't kill you. Organic, fair trade, hippie certified, eco-friendly cheese puffs won't give you eternal life. Everyone calm down.

Now I am in this place where I don’t know if he is a nice guy going slow, or “just not that into me” because he didn’t try to jump me.
Still if nothing else, he didn’t throw up on me, I didn’t hurt myself, I didn’t embarrass myself, it wasn’t cheesy. Somehow the curse is gone. Cool.
