And do not forget my liver!

Yes, day one on the healthy lifestyle gig. I went to the gym yesterday, and since I didn't want to do my usual 30-min walk on the treadmill thing, I took this class accurately named "Heaven and Hell". I realize now how out of shape I am, even though I firmly believe that I could've kicked any of the other girls' asses in the group. Really. One of the exercises our instructor/tormentor asked us to do was shadow-boxing. I took kick-boxing in Mexico (the REAL one, with exams and belts and one-on-one combat), so I must say I struggled to not yell at the other girls' lame attempts at boxing. Really, honey, just try and pretend that you are punching the nose of the last guy you are having trouble getting over. It's that easy.

And then I went home and made myself a salad with tuna and a dressing I made from scratch. How Julia Child of me. I must confess, however, that I could not avoid downing it with a small (teeny! tiny!) glass of red wine. Hey, it was open already and it would be a sin to let it go bad. And it was only ONE glass, so get off my case, would ya?!

Mmm... is this healthy lifestyle making me cranky after only one day? For your sake and world's peace, I hope not!

I'm sore now, but I'm planning on going to the gym again tonight, and since I had a very healthy (and hefty) lunch, I might just have cereal for dinner. Let's see if I can overlook the gigantic bag of chips sitting on top of my refrigerator...
