Woohoo!! It's Friday. I swear I live for Fridays. My boss is on vacation so my work load is considerably slower, so I'm finding myself having to do little things to "look" busy until my boss's boss leaves. It's times like this that I'm glad I don't have a BodyBugg because I think I would be so depressed by the number of calories I burn sitting on my butt behind a desk all day. I really wish I had a more active job. I'm really working on finding out what my true passion is, so hopefully it will be something that allows me to be a lot more active. I have really high expectations for myself as I coast into my 40's. My 20's and most of my 30's were depressing and a huge struggle, so I'm excited about creating a better life for myself as I start this new decade of my life.

I've been following my diet and training consistently for the past few weeks now and I do feel more energetic. I'm not seeing the changes in my body as quickly as it seemed like I did in the past, but I'm not giving up. I know they will come. I started doing tabatas this week as my cardio along with weight training and MIIT. My first attempt at videoing myself doing them was a big fast bust. I thought I was standing far enough away from the camera to get my entire body, but nope, nothing but my head bobbing up and down and me panting, sweating and grunting like something from a bad porno movie. I'll try it again this weekend. I may go train with some friends and have them video some of my basic exercises (squats, dl's, bench press, etc.) so I can see my improvement over time. I need to post my measurements too. I haven't been able to to find my tape measure since I moved a few months ago, so I trip to the sewing section of Walmart may be in order.
On another note, my boss (who happens to be the coolest boss in the world and no I'm not just saying this, since she doesn't even read blogs) has the best gym bag in the whole world. I'm in love with it and she better keep an eye on it because I might steal it since I'm having a hard time believing I'm actually considering spending $75 on a gym bag. My current pink New Balance one was $10 at either Marshall's or TJ Maxx. Here are a few pictures of the latest object of my affection. It's called the Sherpani Meta.
