So last night I wrote a long-winded post, only to have it deleted when
my iPod touch died. I have tried to retell yesterday's happenings as
well as by memory will allow:

Yesterday, I finally spent some much-needed time at the gym. The fact
that we spent the whole Acting class, the day before, practicing
Alexander technique and Laban movement has much to do with my
motivation. You try not feeling self-conscious loping around and
moaning like a gorilla- on stage! I must admit that I had a lot of
fun, especially because everyone else was forced to do the same
thing. I was, however, definitely the most loud and ridiculous person.

At the gym, I jogged a mile (okay, half-walked), spent 15 minutes on
the elliptical (set on 11), and cycled 16 miles on the stationary. I
would have done more, but my father showed up and we went to Whole
Foods for some soup and salad (the gumbo was not as good as it
looked). Later, I had a hard-boiled egg and a spoonful of a
strawberry cheesecake I concocted from that Jello brand mix. All I
did was add milk, so you can guess how fake it tastes. Whatever, I'm
proud of myself.

Today, I went to the gym again but was unable to work out as much
because my father had to rush off to a dinner party (with whom? my
mother asks). I ended up spending 30 minutes on the elliptical (set
at 11), and cycled 4.3 miles on the stationary. Tomorrow, I'll go for
18 miles.

Before going to the gym, I had a cheese pizza Hot Pocket, which I
threw up in the privacy of the women's locker room. Nobody else uses
the gym anyways (it's in this ritzy building my dad has 2 condos in;
everyone else goes to some fantay-pants gym). This should not imply
that we are very wealthy; my father renovated the condos with his own
hands, and is renting them out. Plus, the gym is free and usually
empty, so why the hell should I go to a crowded YMCA?

I definitely feel better when I exercise but I am a little worried
that I'll go back to the way I was before. What worries me most is
that I will welcome that old self as long as I look as good as I did.

Oh, and I've had a little alcohol just now: 3 shots of Grey Goose
followed by some Ruby Red grapefruit juice. More to follow.
