Springy

It's really looking all springy outside and I don't mean in the slinky kind of way. It's sunshiny and it smells like plants and it's not freezing cold.

My optimist side says, "Beautiful, spring has sprung, enjoy!"

The pessimist side says, "Dingus, you're stuck inside anyway so you're not going to be able to enjoy it. This is how summer will be too...muhahahaha."

My realist side says, "Enjoy it while it lasts. It's only February and you know spring doesn't really come in Bellingham until May."

I want to go for a walk.

Working it out

Excuses I have used in the past couple weeks to not work out:
-I was sick
-I had the day off
-I was too tired
-Too sore
-The DVD player wasn't hooked up
-I didn't have any clean workout clothes
-I overslept

Reasons I should work out (besides the obvious "it's good for me" thing):
-Bob from the biggest loser is hillarious on the workout DVDs (Example: "You have two legs and you need to stretch them both 'cause we're going to be working those today, mmkay." - okay that actually doesn't sound funny typed out, but when he says "mmkay" he sounds like a black lady from the south...hard to exlpain)
-Nicole will buy me coffee if I get in all my workouts for the week...I could just lie though (muhahahaha!)
-I feel like I have instantly lost 10 pounds because I am just THAT good at workin it out.
-That sausage egg breakfast sandwich at Starbucks is WAY less appealing after a morning workout
-I will be able to fight off anyone who messes with me because I'll be so strong (you never know when a repeat of 8th grade will occur)

So many reasons to work out...do you have any other good reasons? I need more motivation in case I'm too tired/sick/dvd not hooked up/sore/overslept again.
