Mixed Emotions
It was one of those Excuse me? Oh no you didn't! moments. *picture me moving my head back and forth and snapping three times across my chest*
This week I just needed a change in my workout. Sorry Jillian, I just can't do your dvds EVERY DAY. Its overkill. So, I've been wanting to go running. Yesterday I pushed it off till it got too hot, so I decided today was going to be the day. After breakfast, and piano practice, K and I went running. It was perfect. Such a good and fun workout (okay, maybe not entirely fun. How fun can running be? but the accomplishment is worth it). The "Excuse me?-Oh no you didn't!" *picture me moving my head back and forth and snapping three times across my chest* moment happened twice when people in cars thought it would be cool to whistle at me. Seriously? Did you seriously just do that to me? I have always just been disgusted when I am whistled at. I feel degraded. I fill like I have just been turned into this object, just something that men can look at and whistle at and stuff. It just truly disgusts me. Did they not see that I was pushing a child in my stroller? Did they not realize that having a child with me implies that I am married, and therefore taken, and therefore should not be whistled at? The first and foremost reason I exercise is so I can be healthy, not so other men can look at me and think I am "hot" or whatever. Its okay if my husband whistles and whatever, but not anyone else. Just kind of grosses me out.
But, nonetheless, besides those two "Excuse me?-Oh no you didn't!" *picture me moving my head back and forth and snapping three times across my chest* moments, I am so happy that I went running. Such a sense of accomplishment running 4 miles. I worked up a good sweat. I think running will be on the menu again this week. It was so nice to take a break from Jillian Michaels.
Stay tuned. I am going to try an new cookie recipe to take to a play date today. I will let you know how it goes!
