So expensive....

ahhhhh...I can feel my money being sucked out of the bank account and into all these warm clothes and gear I need. And did I mention, I still haven't bought a bike?! I can feel the ramen noodles...except I hate ramen. So I can't really feel it...but I can feel the essence of what a diet of ramen means. Scrimp....and spend on something else. Although, I did manage to wrangle a free hair cut and color out of the Aveda hair school. So I saved loads of money on that. So I suppose now I can spend the savings on something like gloves and a hat. So for Christmas, I want some warm workout clothing. :) Please, Santa?
But other than the wallet shock I'm in...my workouts are going quite well. I'm doing ok...getting in those runs, and bikes, and swims. Chris, and his love for watching television DVDs in marathon sittings, had me planted in front of last season's 24. I finally put my foot down after 8 episodes, put on the layers, and dashed in a figure eight around Clarendon, Courthouse and Rosslyn for half an hour. Then it was back to 24. I think I'm on episode 16? I know...ridiculous. But those silly shows are addictive...and I still managed to tear myself away to get to work on time, and do my 30 min. faux bike ride. So I'm still in the game...my new goal is to get up to the level 3 training program. My competitive streak is kicking in. Watch out...
