A sad thing happened to me the other day which actually made an impact on my working out alone….my MP3 player died. Â Died so bad I need to have a funeral for it. Â Which makes me super sad cuz it was not that old and was working when I went somewhere in the car and then got back in the car and it would not work. Â Huh.Thinking it was a mechanical issue like a dead battery, I suffered the car ride home in silence and took it into the house to plug into my computer. Â Upon plugging it in, the computer pops up with an error message that says “Cannot read device”. Â Well, that cannot be good. Â So I did the thing an electronically challenged girl would do….I unplugged it and plugged it in several times to see if the message would still appear. Â It did. Â Damn. Â So then, I thought I would charge it all night and see because at this point, it wouldn’t even turn on. Â The screen was just blank. Â Next morning, I tried plugging it into the computer. Â Now the computer won’t even acknowledge that I have a device plugged into it. Â Well poop. Â This really does put a damper on working out alone as who wants to go to the gym without inspiring tunes to listen to and I sure as heck don’t wanna attempt to jog without it cuz then SOTL man might actually strike up a creeper conversation. And I am stuck either listening to cd’s in my car or the radio, which around here superiorly sucks. Â Not to mention I have a trip planned and to be on a plane sitting next to a stranger without headphones and tunes to drown out their attempt to tell me their life story is frightening. Â Do you think I really care about why you are going to Dallas, Mister? Â Does this face look like I wanna be involved in your life or sneak off to be a member of the mile high club with you…nope. Â Pretty sure. Â So unless you are a member of the FBI’s BAU and have some great gruesome stories for me, please do not try to strike up a conversation about the weather in Dallas or your how cute your kids are before you ask me to accompany you to the bathroom. Â True story. Â I use the tunes to drown out these annoying people who cannot tell I would rather read my book or sleep on the flight. Â I should stamp “NOT SOCIABLE” on my forehead. Â So I guess I shall have to buy a new one before driving down the hill next week and boarding a plane. Â Thank goodness all my awesome tunage is on my computer or I would be even sadder. Â That would just rank up there with supreme suckage if I couldn’t access my music either. Â As it is, I am sitting here listening to my playlist entitled “Car Jam” right now. Â Now picture me jamming in my car to these tunes…pretty sure my Seester and I have perfected car dancing to an art form. Â I have also been working on my sweet sitting at my desk blogging in my office in my jammies moves. Â Pretty sure.
After a particularly grueling PT session this week….I don’t think she heard me call out the safety word of “pineapple”……..I went to the Y with BFF,  First time in weeks and climbed on the dreaded elliptical.  UGH.  I made it through a 30 minute workout and felt like my legs had been worked out in a much more pleasurable way.  My quads were screaming at me in only a way that they do when certain positions have been tried for a long time if you catch my drift.  (That reminds me….I should go do some girl gymnastics and attack the jungle)  But the point being, I DID it!  With very minimal pain to the ankle or foot and this pleases me immensely.  Am hoping when I see Dr. Will Ferrell on Wed that he clears me for all activity (and hopefully this time he won’t see me in my fat girl panties).  But for now, I am going to attempt to do different workouts since the music box playing thingy is dead.  BFF and I discussed trying Zumba and I am going to start my WII Biggest Loser workouts again along with Just Dance workouts.Just gotta make sure the curtains are pulled so the creeper neighbor doesn’t watch.  I figured since I have been on a Biggest Loser watching marathon on netflix, it was time to put down the Arby’s as I watched and actually maybe start eating better.  Good think about going to visit my Seester this next week is I will get to try hot yoga which I have never done before so that should be a challenge! I have vowed to eat better starting now and really buckle down on this weight thing.  I want to be 6 pounds lighter by the end of the month.  I think that is a reasonable goal and will put me even closer to being under 200.  Currently I am weighing in at 216.8 so if I can weigh 6 pounds less, it will put me at 210.  Even better.  Here goes!
Oh yeah. Â I didn’t die today. Â I did have a sad day since the music box thingy died but I didn’t die. Â I am fat girl trying to exercise without her awesome tunage running. Â The experiment continues….
I understand believe me . I have lost my ear buds that I use to listen to music on my phone. It sucks now I actually can’t tune out anyone. Good luck and I know you can do it.
