Since June 26th...
Argh. Have been so busy and conversely so lazy that have not had time or energy to blog. Got back from Michigan last week. Had a spectacular time. We left on Tuesday the 26th on a red eye flight out of LA and got back at around midnight on July 4th. I ate, shopped, ate, went to a beautiful wedding, drank, fished, ate, pontoon boated, drank, bonfired, ate, and even snuck in some time to nap in front of the telly. As a result of all this activity, or rather, inactivity, i have put on about five pounds. Yikes. In the last two weeks I've had TWO people think that I'm PREGNANT. One, a stupid fucking waitress at a Japanese restaurant and two - my grandmother. Yep, the Chinese Costanzas, my aunts and my cousin Anders were in town over the weekend. My grandma took one look at me and said two words in Chinese that simply meant "BIGGER." Was a bit confused initially - what part of me did she mean? Boobs? That would be good. Muffin top? Bad. Ass? Good, actually - could use some junk in the trunk. Face? Bad. Also those two words could in theory mean "OLDER" - also bad. But apparently, as she clarified later, she just meant I looked bigger all over and thought I was pregnant. Was disappointed to learn I was not, and then she and my grandpa launched into a whole speech about how I really should have a baby - no need to get married - just have a baby. I thought that was really funny. M conservative old Chinese grandparents are so desperate for great-grandkids they want me to pop one out - married or not. Haha.
Anyway, hung out with the fam a bit over the weekend. I continued to eat and shop with them so am now approaching dire times. Have about ten weeks until we go to Hawaii. Aunt Marilyn and I have been discussing the possibility of training for a mini-triathlon. It's much less strenous than a full length triathlon, but you still have to run, bike and swim. At first I was pretty gung ho about it and even found a reasonable 8 week program that I cut out of my Fitness magazine. But then I thought about how I hate biking outdoors (fear of falling and moving at fast speeds), and how I hate swimming outdoors (fear of bugs, water pollution, and swimmer's itch - yuck) and how I generally dislike tanning (makes you age age AGE), so I don't think it'd work. I then considered having my own minitriathlon indoors - entirely in the gym! That would work. I'd run on the treadmill, bike on a stationary bike, and then swim in the pool. But this morning, I got on the bike and within minutes I was wondering why they don't provide padding for those damn bike seats! Argh! So uncomfortable! So, have to come up with some other kind of training program.
I am pretty proud tho that Max and I got up at 6:30 in the morning to go the gym.
Am now entirely exhausted and ready for a nap.
