...just does NOT work for me. I finally start paying attention to Facebook again, and now I've been neglecting Livejournal AND Twitter. I am useless.

In other news...wow, is life busy. Husband graduated (yay!), in-laws were out (not yay!), tests to study for, lots of dog outings. I have successfully been walking to run! The first day I could only run 3 minutes out of 30, and I'm already up to 10 minutes, which is more than I've EVER run.

On a fandom note -- is there any good TW fic I've been missing lately? I'm completely out of the loop.

I'd like to be in shape. I don't think I've ever quite been in shape. I've been heavier and thinner, but no matter what I weigh, I've never really been fit. SO. Given that I'm in my 20's, and this should supposedly make it easier to get in shape, that's the plan. It's not about the number on the scale (I haven't weighed myself in months -- I generally just pay attention to how my clothes are fitting), and is only partially about how I look. It's more so about how I feel. I'd like to feel strong and capable and healthy. And looking fit would be a nice bonus ;)

So, this won't be a diet. I'll be eating moderately healthier, substituting in better foods for some crappy ones, and trying to drink less (I drink WAY too much currently.) But my goal is to work out 5 times a week for 30 minutes each time. I'm planning on doing a walk-to-run program (I am absolutely terrible about running) and alternating that with the rowing machine we have in our basement. Also, vitamins!

So today, I had a yummy and healthy lunch, had a vitamin, and spent 30 minutes walk/running. I started out small (run 1 minute, walk 9 minutes, then repeat), but hopefully I can step it up over time.

You're not getting a serious answer to this one. Just had to giggle that I saw this while watching the episode of Lost where Kate is married to a guy played by Nathan Fillion (*swoon*). Fitting! ;)

I must get better at quick posts...lately I'm even failing at Twitter!

Hmmm, so...completely shitty week filled with much crying, including an incident which is now hilarious in retrospect, but was MISERABLE at the time, in which I had a crap enough day to buy a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates on the way home. Upon arriving home, I discovered the dog had explosive diarrhea EVERYWHERE. Commence my sobbing. I start cleaning up, and realize we're out of paper towels. I then must go to the grocery store, looking like a girl who has quite obviously been sobbing, then come home to clean again. I spent an hour scrubbing on my hands and knees, all the while sobbing and wailing like a hysterical person. NOT. GOOD.

The week finished up quite OK, though! 2 successive nights out after work at the bar we like to go to. Now it's Saturday (THANK GOD) and I can relax a bit with my coffee, but will have to study tons this weekend, as I have another designation exam on Monday. There are 3 tests left and I'm trying to finish them all in this testing period, so it's a bit mad.

What's been going on with you guys? Feel free to say hi, as I know I've been absolute shit about it lately.
