My current fitness motivations…

1. (stupid) TV studio jacket: It’s $50 I can’t get back, I wanna make it worth it!

2. NYC trip: This summer my family is going to NYC (my mom for the 3rd time, the 1st for the rest of us) and for one I don’t wanna be ridiculously exhausted trekking through the city, so I need to improve my cardiovascular fitness so I have some endurance, and even though I don’t anticipate buying a whole new wardrobe there, I’m going to want to shop at some places we don’t have in the Cities! AND I want to wear shorts, and I’m no where near comfortable enough with myself to baring everything to the world!

[And this isn’t to say I’m going to just stop working out after NYC, I mean I don’t wanna wear shorts (comfortably) for just one summer - I wanna wear them for ALL THE SUMMERS.]

“The New Workout Plan” by Kanye West

My mom bought this song on iTunes a while ago, and I liked the beat so I added it to my fitness playlist. The other day though, I actually listened to the entire song (something I rarely do) and I heard these lyrics at the end:

That’s right put in work (That’s right put in work)
Move your ***, go wizzerk (Go wizzerk)
Eat your salad, no dessert (Eat your salad, no dessert)
Get that man you deserve (Woo!)

(Okay, okay, okay, that’s, that’d be good)
(I appreciate your time)
I want to see you work out for me
Whoa yeah

…

So if I eat salad…and no dessert…I’ll not only get a man…but one that I deserve?And he wants to see me work out…for him? 

Thank you Kanye, for imparting such wisdom - I can’t wait to take heed to your sage advice.

Ok but can we just talk about how excited I am to work out when I get back because of my new tennis shoes I mean really though

I forgot to tell you guys I went to Boot Camp yesterday!

I logged it on Fitocracy and just spaced! It was SO. HARD. She focused on legs with a Bosu ball and let me tell you, she did not play! But it was worth it, I feel really good!!

I’m going to try to get new tennis shoes over spring break, because I’ve had mine since freshman year and they’re kinda rough - I have Nike Shox now, but they’re not the best cross-training shoes, so suggestions for new sneakers please?

I worked out with my friend & her boyfriend and it was glorious!

He is SO cut, and he introduced me to some new things (am I the only one who didn’t know about inner & outer biceps??) ANYway, it was so good and I’m really noodle-y but that’s okay because I feel GOOD except I haven’t eaten since noon and it’s nearing 11pm so I’m hungry to the point that I can feel it in my throat TIME FOR SUSTENANCE!

I met with a dietitian today!

I had to interview her for my story on caffeine and studying, but she was SUPER friendly, so we started talking about anything & everything else, and she enlightened me about a few things….

1. It’s okay if the only vegetable I like is carrots, because the point of vegetables and fruits is to get the correct vitamins - she said I can get most of my vitamins from fruits so I don’t need to feel bad that I don’t like lettuce or asparagus!
2. If you exercise consistently and eat well enough, you’ll have enough natural energy and NOT NEED COFFEE, what??

Ok well yeah that’s it but it was a really insightful conversation! 

ALSO I worked out today, 2 for 2 this week!!
