Happy Body, Unhappy Heart
Today I had the day off. I went to Sportsmart hoping there would be sales, you know, like Christmas sales, but NO, they not only had (hardly any) sales but they also had no swim suits. Hopefully some place will have them by the end of January. As for the "sales" they did have? A sports bra marked down to $25 is not a sale. Track pants for $60 is not a sale. I can get the same damn things at Target for $15. I was disappointed because I've been to their REAL sales before, and they're quite awesome. But. The running shoes were on sale, and I GOT SOME. Nike Converge. They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO beautiful, that picture doesn't even do them justice. It also doesn't show how old and raggedy my old ones were. Anyway, I put them on and drove straight to my old YMCA. Re-signed up, put my stuff in a locker... And ran on the treadmill. Then worked every weight machine (15) twice, for a total of 29712 pounds. Yes that's right, almost 30,000 pounds. Then rode the bike. When I checked out, I noticed that I had reached my next level already - I was only 250 points away when I left that gym! So with the 500 points I earned today, I am at 30000 points and have earned my Yellow YMCA shirt. WOOOOOO!!! Great welcome back present! And it's funny, because as much fun as I had at the gym, and I really really did, I am totally not having fun at the moment. The closer it gets to Christmas the gloomier this family has been feeling. I will snap out of it, don't worry, you don't have to say anything to me. It's part of the grieving process, so just let me be. I think for us to get on with things we may have to just accept that it isn't going to be a happy Christmas, no matter how much we want it to. My mom only died 6 weeks ago. Like I told her just a few months ago... it's okay to still be sad. Posted by Pischina at December 16, 2005 9:01 PMComments
