it seems i'll never be athletic

because although i frequent the gym, i have also found that you lose street cred when you will exercise ONLY if cable tv is involved. do people actually run without being able to watch the food network, gilmore girls, or whatever makeover show is on tlc?

let's be honest here, if i could run on the eliptical while consuming a mcgriddle, large fry and diet coke, i would.

(can i count this as my patriotic post for the year?)

Just watch the Food Network while you work out. Then, it's like you're just chasing down the deep-fried goodness in front of you- running only as a desperate attempt to attain fatness. See? Just trick your body... use your inner fat kid against itself. I think THAT'S what was actually meant when the term "mind over body" was coined.

I want an eliptical for Christmas. Can you put in a word with my husband on my behalf? What's more American than a McGriddle? Yes, this counts as your patriotic post.
