It is 7am. On my way to breakfast and then an earlier bar method class as there is no coffee at home. Maybe this is my get up and run secret- i have to go out for coffee?

That we curb the unintentional use of “bi-polar” as a synonym for “angry”

I guess I’m REALLY sick of being out of shape. Because I just committed to a 10K on July 14th. 

It will be a miracle if I can pull this off. 

Training starts tonight.

There is nothing like 3 days on the beach with 30,000 20-somethings to let you know you have put on a few pounds (every year since high school). I have a birthday in a month. I’m a month into my new job and I’m not walking as much as I did before. So I’m spending the next 30 days at Bar Method. 

Not a rookie but I have not really attended for 2-3 months. Will do measurements before and after. Minimum goal: 3 Classes a Week.

If I attend 12 Classes, I’ll auto-enroll moving forward.

My prediction:

• I will do 12 Classes+
• I will see 4 inches come off 
• I will lose 5lbs (that I put on last weekend in bud light and combos)
• This will be one sweaty summer

• Self-Portraits - I’ve been saying this for the last 4 years or so but it drives me banannas to go to a show just to have every kid around me taking a picture of themselves. Please stop.
• Drugs - so many drugs. I do not partake but may not pass a test in the near future the smoke was so thick every day.
• Drunks - from the annoying (kid spilling beer on me on the shuttle day 1) to the potentially dangerous (beautiful girl nearly passed out on the sand in a bikini while different guys tried to “talk” to her as her guy friend kept leaving her to look for others). Just gross all around.
• I’m Old - everyone was young and really beautiful, they looked like going to the beach was their job. That said, it might be. As much as I liked the area, it does not seem to be the ambition capital of the world, unless your ambition is looking awesome on the beach and having a kickin’ house - which, I kind of wish was my ambition. I had to drive to 4 stores to find any books or national newspapers. (related note, I’m on a veg and fruit cleanse until my birthday). Oh, and I think someone called me grandma.
• I’m out of touch (things I don’t understand) - Why wear a batihing suit all day if there is no place to swim? Why get tattoos?
• Also - this is probably obvious to other people but the port-o-lets that were “just fine” day 1 got worse as the weekend went on.

No need to learn to play guitar, Gary Clark Jr already learned it all. Wilco was much more amazing than I expected. Jack White’s band(s) are tight! Always important to stand near those who like the band as much as you do. Some drunk college girls and i jumped and sang our way through the Dispatch set. I underestimated: The importance of a koozie, Also, of naps. I was really glad: To not be poor That unlike the rest of the crowd, i had clothes on and no tattoos. Holy Shit: Alabama Shakes, go see them, buy their new album. They are going to be huge. Im glad i went.
