Shaping up

May 17th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Being pretty

Another reason why I’ve been on an exercise mission:

Me: Did you hear about the woman who was shot to death in Gardena? So close to my office! My dad said he’s going to buy me pepper spray, but I’m kind of afraid to carry it.

Matt: Why, because you think you’ll eat it? Maybe spray some on your meals?

Me: Grrrr.

This morning, I tried something called The Bar Method, which is a trendy fitness program where you do all these exercises at the ballet bar. Lots of lengthening your neck, lifting your rib cage and “tucking in.” It’s hard. I sucked. They had this 30-day introductory special and I signed up because I’m compulsive like that. And because I would like to stand up more like a pretty peacock than the Hunchback. LIFT. LIFT. LIFT. I’m a ballerina. Tee hee.

    I tried a different Bar Method once. Every day I would go to a bar and drink until I threw up. I lost a lot of weight and friends that way. Totally worth it.
