You deserve an update

I swear I'm getting better. I've been trying to go swimming every other day, and on Saturday I even used the elliptical at my gym. Urban Active, for all it's frothiness, does have one posh amenity I can appreciate: a movie theatre! I showed up right at the end of It's Complicated, a movie I'd been wanting to see on some level since it came out. I have no actual interest in RomCom's, but this one has every middle-aged actor/actress I love. I caught about the last 10 minutes of it, ellipticaled foolishly - really, the elliptical makes you move like you are kick-boxing a cloud, and whoever would dare do that is clearly the fool - through the credits until at last, the miracle of replay occurred and, as if the movie had never been played before, the opening credits started and I was reintroduced to characters about whom I only knew their final outcome.  So I glided through another 10 or so minutes of kickboxing clouds until it occured to me that I had to go home and feed the dog. I'd already gone swimming for a half hour, drank a thermos of coffee doing some work for a new part time writing gig I got, and who knows how else I waste my time - I certainly don't - and I knew the dog was about to have a temper tantrum all over the kitchen floor.

Anyway, I still can't really lift anything, and my butt's still generally uncomfortable especially doing thing like walking uphill, which is generally unavoidable in Pittsburgh. But I've been riding my bike more, only for commuting purposes. The visible bruise is practically UNvisible by now, but whenever I sit, it feels like I have a fat wallet in my back pocket (I wish!). Bummer, but considering what I hurt, I'm doing pretty great.

I just wish I could get back on the program.
