Please don&#8217;t ask me why Peanut is up this late, I really don&#8217;t know. (sigh&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>I hate to admit that work has been keeping me pretty busy. I am not sure if I mentioned it earlier, but I started a new job 6 months ago. Same company, different department. The job is drastically different, my stress level is up, I barely make it out to lunch, but I am much happier. <\/p>\n<p>(Peanut, unfortunately, is not ready for movies, so we&#8217;ve now switched to Baly &#8211; Disney Playhouse France.)<\/p>\n<p>So my job has me in the &#8220;new&#8221; building on campus complete with a &#8220;new&#8221; fitness center.<\/p>\n<p>I had started taking the total body fitness class every Tuesday and Thursday at lunch back in January, to complement the running regime I was starting over&#8230;.again. I knew the class was serious because everyone had to go through an fitness\/health assessment before they could start. A tape measure, calipers, a VO2 test, and a pathetic attempt at a pull-up I started class.<\/p>\n<p>After a couple classes in, the trainer suggested I schedule some 1:1 time to work on form, reach my goals quicker, blah, blah. After days of nagging, I <del datetime=\"2011-03-26T05:14:51+00:00\">was finally suckered in<\/del> signed up for 1:1 personal training. So, here I am 4 weeks into my personal training sessions and am loving it! I really never thought I&#8217;d enjoy getting my ass handed to me on a silver platter, but I am, and it&#8217;s paying off! I was (partially) reassessed a few days ago and the measurements were smaller than what they were 4-6 weeks ago. Wahoo!<\/p>\n<p>To quote the brilliant Elle Woods, &#8220;Exercise gives you endorphins. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ehow.com\/how_5021055_release-endorphins-combat-stress.html\">Endorphins make you happy<\/a>.&#8221; Here I am, addicted to endorphins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here I am breaking my own rule to finally, finally blog.
