my dear frenemy.

i have a frenemy (friend + enemy).  now and then, this frenemy appears in my life.  it had been awhile, until last week.  you may ask, who is this frenemy? you may also think, i really could care less, just go on with the post.

anyway, my frenemy is the gym.  we truly have a love/hate relationship. i hate dragging my behind over to the gym, but i know i need to go, especially after weddings/holidays. thankfully, chris is also trying to get back in the habit of exercising, so we push each other until we finally end up there. (three times since thursday! hooray!)

however, we're too cheap to buy a membership at 24 Hour Fitness, or Gold's Gym, so we go to the totally free and totally packed BYU gym.  that's part of why i hate it.  the only time when it isn't packed is at like 9 on friday night. i always watch like a hawk to score one of the four nice ellipticals. i could go on the treadmill, but then shin splints appear again, especially since i'm just getting back into the routine.

good thing about the byu gym: awesome people watching.  the awkward freshman girls in packs of 6 (no lie, saw that tonight), guys trying to act cool and so buff, and the random attempts at flirting make it a little more worthwhile.

we just started going again, after not going since early november (oops) and i'm already up to 2.6 miles.

holla!

that's my accomplishment so far. also, i ended my workout listening to Baby by Justin Bieber. don't hate.

P.S. i joined a sweet site - loseit. It helps to keep track of what you're eating, how much you're exercising, etc. and it's totally free! thanks to the Yellow House for helping me find it.
