día tres

so i made it through day 3. 20 minutes on the eliptical trainer and 20 minutes on the bike. not bad really and i think it was actually the hardest workout i've had since i started (ok, that's only been 3 days but there is some muscle pain going on). i did manage to pick the eliptical trainer directly behind a girl with the best, non-jiggly behind i've ever seen (with the word mossimo printed directly on it - words on the butt, that's a whole different subject - another time, another day). you would think that would be motivation but really it just made me think of my jiggle more. but overall it was a good workout.

i am a little bit bothered by the amount of time it's taking out of my day. it seems like after working all day and then going to the gym, me time is significantly limited. i realize that some would consider working out me time but i'm not buying it. the past shows i would much rather be anywhere but at the gym. i heard a report a couple of weeks ago that was discussing how americans feel like they have less "free" time than previous generations but this report stated we have much more free time - i thought this was interesting mostly because it does seem like we are always going but i wonder do we just go to go. is going our entertainment. gotta go shopping, watch movies, hang out with friends, go to the gym...do we know how to not go? just to rest. maybe it's just me. anyway, i'm going to run down my time for an average day.
1 hour - get ready in the morning (i'm debating cutting my hair short again, oh the time i could save)
10 hours - drive to work, work, lunch, work, drive home. i consider the drive and lunch work because i'm forced to do both.
1 hour - gym
6-8 hours - sleep (generally close to 6 but should be 8)
Ok so if I sleep the proper amount that leaves me with 4 hours of free time which includes social time, dinner time, laundry time, watch tv time, blog time, nano the boy time, radial angel time...i'm quitting now it's stressing me out just thinking about it...at least tomorrow is a rest day.

And to close there is this story that puts it all into perspective. Seriously arent' there more important things to worry about in this life?

LONDON (AFP) - It is one of the most fundamental -- and, for men, potentially hazardous -- questions of modern life, for which academics now hope to provide the definitive answer: "Does my bum look big in this?"
The School of Textiles and Design at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh have begun what is believed to be the world's first-ever study on how women's clothing affects the bottom.
Models with variously sized posteriors will wear different types of clothing as part of the research, which will examine how designs, colours, patterns and fabric types affect perception.
Others will be asked to assess how big or small each model's backside appears to look in the outfits.
"This study will provide for the first time detailed and usable information that would enable designers to make the clothes that help women make the most of their natural assets," said Dr Lisa Macintyre, who is leading the study.
"There's much discussion in the media of clothing styles that flatter the body and it's generally accepted that enhancing body perception can improve confidence and self-esteem.
"But the factors behind this have never been fully investigated in a proper scientific manner.
"Designers and consumers don't currently have access to established information that could enable them to make or choose garments that enhance body size and shape."
Four models had been chosen to provide a representative sample of female backsides, Macintyre said: the "standard", the full "pre-Raphaelite" type, the smaller backside of a slim model and a curvier behind, like the famed example of actress and singer Jennifer Lopez.
