hot bods and happy hearts

One of the dwarf gerbils I bought was sired "coco" tonight by skyli- he is rolling happily around the livingroom in his clear plastic ball. Territorial creatures.

In hopes of drowning out the noise of the children, I turned on sesame street and held their ipod touches out to them. I wrote you a letter.

Megan and I went to the gym tonight and conquered our first spinning class. I got my heart rate up to 200.

Tomorrow I will want to die.

But tonight I feel great and full of endorphins and a headache and a delicious meal.

The best part of working out was the plan that meg and I came up with for our boys when they get home...

and also my mother Elaine left us two loafs of (still hot) fresh whole wheat bread.

How about THAT for a workout reward?!
Holy moley.
It's 9 pm and I am ready to climb into bed.

Beyond ready.

Our plan is this:
We've both told our boys about our resolutions for the year (i.e. no sugar, exercise) (and for me I told brandon I've made this year a year of lent- where each month I give up something I know is bad for me, and take up something better.) (it's working out famously)

and we both want to get oober tone and pretty and healthy for when they get home in July (hopefully)

we have purchased our gym memberships (I honestly wanted to call it guyem because it's been THAT long...)

we will be working out every single day in the evenings and I am really excited
because
we have decided that we are going to LIE
to our husbands
and say that we are "having a tough time" with our weight, with our goals, with everything
and then to further convince them
we will make videos for them (the first one is going to be a music video)
and add layers of clothing
cotton balls
batting
and finally pillows

until they are convinced of our unshapleyness.
or- extreme shapeliness (whichever way you look at it)

I AM SO EXCITED.

keep it on the hush.
I hate to lie to them but if you only knew how much they cared about our health
this is going to be a BIG surprise and it's going to be lux.

So when they get off those buses
in their uniforms
and line up to be dismissed

our hot bods will be there waiting.
and our happy hearts

of course.
sheesh.

love
