here I am back at work

So my snow day yesterday ended up alright. I helped hubby in the basement (who couldn't have picked a better week to take off. He works outside and this week is supposed to be less than -30C all week! right now it's -35 but -49 with the wind chill. When I left for work it was -50. For those of you who don't get cold temps like this (and who does really, unless you're maybe in winnipeg). After it's -30, there's not much that feels different if it's -40 or -50. You don't go out much and when you do you're bundled to the 9s. I guess the time until exposed skin freezes is shorter but really, who'd leave exposed skin?)

Right so made it to work with my cinnamon buns. Thank god they're out of my house now. I just have to resist the rest of today while I'm at work. Everyone here loves them and I'm sure they'll be gone soon.

I'm having a nice skinny day. I'm wearing my only flattering jeans (the only ones that fit properly) and a white zip up exercise coat thing, I've got a black, green, blue and white one, from Costco. Tuff athletic is the brand name. They also make pants and tops that are very similar to lululemon (I heard that the designer used to be the lulu guy but quit to start his own or something). Best thing, they're only like $18 each. The pants same thing. The tops like $15. I buy a new outfit every time I see a new design at costco. I'm obsessed. But for like $50 you can get a 3 piece exercise outfit that's super good quality? Or you could buy one pair of lulu pants for $80.

I had class yesterday. It was good. I was late (for no reason, just dumb) and ran the whole way there (it was also freezing) and then the door to the school was locked (it's in an elementary school gym) so I banged for like 3 minutes until somebody heard me and opened the door. I made it all the way down there I wasn't turning around. Luckily I was already warmed up from running there. Slightly embarrassed though because I had to hurry and put my shoes on and the only place open was front and center (which I usually go near anyway but I'm not usually late). I couldn't get the 10 lb weigts, only 8s left but that's alright. My back is hurt (don't know why, it's chronic, I thought losing weight and getting in shape would fix it but it still happens sometimes). and I didn't want to hurt it more.

so today I'm planning on going to the gym. But I'm not sure if that's smart. What if my car won't start since I can't plug it in there? Plus I'm pissed off that I forgot my MP3 player. I brought my new shoes and was excited to run the track but I can't do that without tunes. Boo me.

Oh guess what. Sunday I went to walmart and bought myself a new sports bra (I've always had a hard time with these because my boobs were so big, but when I lost weight, I lost most of it in the boobs, so just normal sports bras work for me. yay!) and new running socks. The chick at the shoe store told me a lot of blisters were caused by the socks not the shoes, cotton was bad as it held the moisture next to your foot, so the wicking polyester types really are worth it. I was excited to try that out.

Anyway, if you all have nothing better to do would you mind commenting and persuading me to go to the gym. I have a feeling I'm just looking for excuses here, (though it is minus a million). A little ass kicking please?
