BOB HARPER, PLEASE!

OMMFTFG There are only 187 days until halloween 2016. Let's get to it.

A few weeks ago I stated that ‘d be focusing on the fitness aspect of this journey to halloween, and I literally haven’t been to the gym since.

I have never like exercise, I mean… it hurts. It’s always the last thing on my list of things to do.

But I had a very inspiring conversation with a gorgeous well built friend who told me that he goes to the gym everyday after work. He forgoes social opportunities and post work drinks and dinners with friends, not only to stay in shape, but because he LIKES to work out. Sounds dumb to me but he’s got arms like a member of 98° so i’ll have what she’s having-- knowhatimean?

Being someone with a highly addictive personality, I bet if I forced myself to go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, I’d start to want to go to the gym.

WANT to go the GYM! Crazy right?

I saw an ad in the subway for a book by The Biggest Loser’s Bob Harper; it had a kind of algebraic formulas on it. I can’t find the book online because Harper has written about 400 books on diet and exercise, and they are infuriating to look through. His body of work reads like an evolution of buzzwords used to trick fat women into buying things: Skinny Rules, Jumpstart to Skinny, Skinny Skinny Skinny Thin Now Today.

Anyway, the formula ad was something about taking supportive steps towards meeting your goals. If you want to go to the gym more, leave a set of gym clothes in your desk drawer. Or just fucking plan on going to the gym and bring your clothes. It’s so easy, but I never do it. UNTIL TODAYYY

Today is the day I start going to the gym regularly. I wore sneakers to work so I have to. And as definitive proof I will post at least 4 gratuitous gym selfies on this very blog as a part of next week’s post. It’s gonna get ugly.
