Bionic Teutonic

At work, on the desk of our receptionist (which is right by one of the conference rooms, and therefore where I spend some time each day waiting for other meetings to end) sits a dish that is full (and constantly refilled) with chocolate. I tell myself at the beginning of every week that I’m going to try and get through the week without sticking my hand into said dish, only the thing is, I never seem to make it past Tuesday. And I even watch myself breaking down and eating the chocolate and am powerless to stop it. I am a slave to the cacao bean. It’s not even good chocolate. Sometimes I’m amazed at my own lack of discipline.

On the other hand, I’ve been going to the gym almost every day for yoga, weights, or just to stretch. It’s been awesome. A little break in the day where I get to be active and work off some of the stress (which has been building at work lately). I’ve reached that point in developing an exercise routine where the endorphins make themselves known and have become reason in and of themselves to get off my ass and go to the gym. It usually takes me a while to get to the point where working out actually feels really good, but once I’m there, I’m hooked. You take your drugs wherever you can get them, I guess.

Tomorrow, I’ll be heading out with Ariel, Sassafrass (sorry Lily), and David (Ariel’s Dad) to go camping. First camping trip of the season, which means summer has officially arrived.
