...Okay, so that's not entirely true. I've gone out on the neighbors' boat a couple of times but mostly I've been at work or in class. One of my classes is already almost over, but another one is just beginning. I still have to find some time in there to get ready to teach. It's stressful. Summer is not supposed to be stressful!
In the MOST EXCITING NEWS EVAR, I got a Bosu Ball. I went to visit my brother and his girlfriend this past weekend, as well as a certain couple of friends who were having a birthday and graduating, and was immediately made to feel lazy because the aforementioned brother and girlfriend work out about five days a week. During school, I work out twice a week if I am lucky. Thus, I decided to make a conscious effort to work out more. That included, for me, buying new shoes (Vibram FiveFingers) and a Bosu Ball! I tried out the Bosu Ball for the first time at the gym, and immediately I fell in love with it and had to go buy one the next day. The best part about this is that it came with a workout DVD that has four workouts on it. I have done two of the four. One of the workouts is a step/dance workout that I feel I'm not nearly coordinated enough to do--not because of the balance, but because of the dance moves. The moves aren't difficult, I'm just awkward. The other is a yoga/pilates mix called Long and Lean, which is definitely right up my alley considering I've done pilates since high school (but gotten lazy with it for the past couple of years). It feels good to work out again, but I'm so impatient and want to be toned up immediately. I think I'll be able to stick with it, though.
Also, I bought Chelsea Handler's new book Lies Chelsea Handler Told Me. I'm a big fan of her writing (however offensive she may be at times), and this one seems interesting so far. It's not her writing, but rather a compilation of stories that people in her life have written about her and how much of a demon she is. I've only read one of the essays, but I found myself laughing out loud over lunch and then looking around to make sure people didn't think I was a crazy person. I think they were too into their burritos to care.
That made me hungry. :/
