lauren goes back to school tomorrow. the last of the winter breakers is peacing out of ridgefield. it was good to have her here, knowing that she exists, as bored as i am, just a mile down the street. thanks for adding a social pulse to my january, and for reuniting me with john mayer, lauren! i’ll miss you! and with her departure, i guess my own design-your-own winter break, the timeline of which was under my complete control, comes to an end.
i’m kicking myself b/c i was too tired to go to the gym tonight before it closed at 6. instead, i came home from work and crashed under the covers, which i needed b/c i was completely drained. but now it’s 10 and i’m wide awake and wishing the ridgefield rec was open late every night! or that i had an elliptical trainer and a full weight training circuit, oh, i don’t know, maybe stored under my bed?
i joined the wellness center to tone up and lose what i like to call “the transfer ten” and the “finals five.” and also to build up my endurance before i have to single-handedly propel a kayak up the coast of chile. i never thought i would love it so much. i actually like getting ready and going in every day. and i like that, b/c i spend an hour or more at the gym, i’m drinking more water and actually eating enough protein and consciously taking care of myself on a daily basis. every day i feel stronger. and, i have to be honest, i love having a good reason to wear my sweatpants out of the house!
quote of the day: “part of where i’m going, is knowing where i’m coming from, i don’t want to be anything other than what i’ve been trying to be lately, all I have to do is think of me and i have peace of mind.” – gavin degraw
