Schweaty McSchweaterschun.

April 21, 2009

I try to steer clear of most of those meme or tag-you’re-it things, not because I don’t like them, but because I know how often they get ridiculed (and I already do enough to warrant ridicule, right? TMI Thursday anyone?). But this one seemed kind of cool because it’s all about being real. And in the moment. Or something. Or maybe I just needed to post something, and this felt legit enough.

Right.

I don’t know the original “prompt” per se, but basically, you’re supposed to take a picture of yourself RIGHT NOW, whenever you read the post in which you were tagged. No touch-ups or prep work. Just do it already. (twss)

Unfortunately, I first read the post in which I was tagged while I was at work, and it is seriously forbidden to take photographs inside my place of work. I’m not even kidding. Anyway, I finally made it online in my own freaking house for once, so here I am in all my post-workout sexiness:


This is my “gah, do I really want to document the grossness that is my FACE right now?” face. But the good news is, I finally, at last, holy crap how long had it BEEN? went running jogging slightly-fast-paced-walking-with-some-spurts-of-jogging-thrown-in-for-kicks.

I think the last time I went running/jogging/lame-saucing-as-per-above-hyphenated-phrase was at least a month ago. And I even bought new shoes FOR THE PURPOSE OF RUNNING. Because I was tired of letting myself use the “my Payless shoes are making my run suckier” excuse. I went to Big 5 and bought some New Balance tennies. I’ve worn them a bunch for my Curves workouts, but today I finally used them on the track.

Phew. It felt good. And it also hurt. But in a good way.

Alas, eight laps around the track and one time up and down the stadium steps, and I was sweaty. And then I went to Joe’s and made us grilled cheese (with pepperjack, yum!) and also pb&j; (don’t judge me), and then we watched some Drew Carey online, and then I drove home. And now I’m sitting here in my own filth.

Are you grossed out yet?

Okay, okay…I’ll go shower. Geez, you don’t have to be so mean about it. Holding your nose so dramatically like that. *sniffs armpits*

Oh come on, it’s not even that bad!

Hello?

Is anyone out there?

I see how it is.

    You are such a crack up. I read this while I was on hold with Wells Fargo (trying to correct a bank error). So funny!

    Miss you! Love,
    Mom

    A few things. First… I am a meme whore but you still wouldn’t catch me snapping a pic of myself like that. So since you like good it makes me sort of hate you cause after I work out I look like a someone left a fat lady out in the rain. Second… Explain the ridicule and TMI Thursday. Third… My FAV sammich is Pepperjack with cucumbers. Try it. It’s the BOMB. I just had that today as a matter of fact. I even twirted about it. teheh LURRVE it.
