can i come back to the gym now? i'm bored and getting flabby

so i havent' been to the gym and my mental health is starting to slip a little. when i took my shirt off in the front of the mirror today, i had to avoid making eye contact with my body. When im not going to the gym, i start to feel like i'm turning to flab and am afraid i'll see myself way out of shape. i know i have issues. i'll be the first to admit it. I guess if i don't like being flabby, i should cut out some of those cupcakes and burritos. Guess its all about balance. I was thinking about finding a debate party to go since we dont have tv service. i also am thinking about buying a new ipod today. Not sure which i'll do yet. its 4:54 so i should probably decide soon. i haven't had a lot to eat today either. Going to pick up my bib tomorrow with shirley downtown. yay! I've been continuing to roll on the foam roller. feeling pretty good. Todd reminded me not to change too much about my routine going into the marathon. May do some hammer gels with caffeine during the run. i've done similar gels so i'm not to concerned about my stomach not liking them. Trying to decide whether to wear my hydration belt for the run. Would love to not carry the weight but I am pretty used to my electrolyte glucose drink. I'm sure its better than any corn syrup based sports drink. I think i may opt for the corn syrup drink in order to pass on the belt. If we get some of this cool weather on sunday, i'll be very happy. i can tough out most things in the cold but in the heat i become such a whiny weakling. I showed hannah chi running last night and she laughed her head off. She's doing a run tomorrow for charity so i was trying to tell her my secret trick for running a long distance. i'll be curious to see if she actually does it. i committed to a 50 cents per lap charity donation. Was going to go higher but i have no idea how far she can run or how big the track is. Didn't want to go broke if i found out the course was only 100meters long and she was a natural distance runner. :) Ok, time to go by an ipod or watch the debate somewhere. i'll let traffic decide.

Workout:
none. carried a printer upstairs was kinda like a workout.

Diet:
1 Ready to Drink Meal Replacement Shake
1 bagel with cream cheese and tomato.
more to come..
