This blog is a two-parter. I could never manage to keep a frequent blog before... Maybe naked ladies are the secret ingredient.
Part 1: Exercise (the boring part)
Ran 20 minutes or so, walked 3 more.
100 normal crunches
50 crunches on either side
35 lifts on my lower back with a 5lb weight
30 lifts on either side
2 1/2 minutes or so of rowing
For not wanting to go to the gym at all, and forcing myself to anyway, I didn't do too bad. I went easy on the rowing and didn't push running too hard, but still got a pretty good workout. I'm already pretty satisfied with how I look now. I'm lucky, that 2 weeks can have enough of a visible effect to make me happy. The bits about myself that I still don't like... well, exercise won't fix those.
Part 2: Bitch-session (the emo part)
nevermind. I had it written out, but the writing process was cathartic and it's probably unwise to mix business with pleasure. Short version: there's a certain girl in the UK who I hope gets hit by a bus, dragged a mile or so, and left plugged into tubes in the hospital for the rest of her life. I thought it would be cool if she were unconscious, but it's meaner to wish her fully aware.

1. You're good for sticking with it. That is, by far, the hardest part, and by far the most important. And it is a big deal, so congratulate yourself. How do you do side crunches, anyway?
2. That's pretty evil. What happened to that whole forgive and forget thing? Just kidding, we both know that's complete bullshit.
When I'm pissed, I always write two drafts. One is the "get it out of your system" draft, which I subsequently delete. The second is the real one. I've found it to be a good policy.
