Notes: Well well WELL. Today started out pretty much as shitty as yesterday, but I think I turned it around for myself! I woke up at 6am (I do that without an alarm, which is kind of fucked up) and waited for the gym to open at 8. It was cold and windy as hell. Matt accidentally took both sets of headphones to work. Awesome. It almost kept me from going to the gym, but I was like, FUCK THAT, I CAN WORK OUT WITHOUT A DAMN IPOD. So I went to the gym, and realized there was a muscle-sculpting class from 8:45-9:45. BAM. I decided to do it. Unfortunately, by the time I got in there all the weight loading bars were taken, so I settled for a couple of weighted bars. Then the instructor was having trouble getting HER iPod to work! I thought- it's written in the stars today Russo.... just hang in there! Which I did. And I got a good workout! YES!!! Manifest your destiny! Sooooo then I saw some other girls in class who had pooches, similar to mine, and for a minute I thought WOW! Look!! See!!!! Some people are healthy and strong and STILL have bellies like me!!!

Then I found out they are actually pregnant. DANG!

SOOOOOO......then I went to work and it sucked. But then I picked up my be-fri from the airport and went to Big Star and had margaritas- because I can't have whiskey (stupid delicious whiskey!) Phew. Today had it's challenges, but I survived, and I feel better for it. I am so so so happy I got to the gym today. I think it saved me today. Really!!!! Well, that or the margaritas....
