Wardrobe Malfunction

1:29 P.M. I head to the ladies room and unzip my pants.....and I hear a rip. I literally stood there in the woman's stall not comprehending what had just happened. These weren't even tight pants...like I had complete room and they were even baggy on me...yet I could now see all of my yellow lace thong panties....WHAT DO I DO?!

My height played a factor in that I'm wearing a long cowl neck sweater, so I just pulled it as low as I could, hoping that perhaps I could sneak back to my office and find a needle and thread, or at the very least, a stapler to survive the rest of the day. Um...no. I could feel the wind near my hoo-ha. So I dart to my office, grab my purse, run down a flight of stairs (again...feeling the wind) and out the back door of my office. Make it to my car, call boss to say I had a pants malfunction and would be right back. Managed to head home and put on another pair of pants and return to work, with hopefully no one catching a glimpse.

As soon as I got back to my desk, I looked up the schedule for Zumba and my lace undies-wearing-booty is heading to class tonight at 7:30. No freaking excuses.

At last post, I was considering going to a personal trainer....I met with her, but here's my issue, she wants to meet 3 times a week, at $40 a pop, that's $120 a week/$480 a month?! Ok, people, I make a comfortable salary...but I can NOT justify $500 a month on personal training, geez, my cousin who was a competitive body builder was paying that much to be in competition shape!! Jeeezus!!!

What up Eeyore?

Forgive me, I'm feeling moody - it's Faux-TOM time(I have an IUD, so don't experience traditional TOM's, so I call it Faux-TOM). Couple that with the fact that I'm in the throes of a massive website redesign for work, have been battling some insomnia, and have the wedding to go to, I'm a little all over the place right now.

One of my friends is currently using a personal trainer that she adores, so I'm thinking of checking her out. I don't like just having the accountability, I NEED that accountability. I haven't been to my Zumba classes in 2 weeks because the girls that I was going with dropped out. It's ridiculous and a totally lame excuse, but it's how I operate when it comes to exercise. I DID buy the Zumba DVD's and do them 3 x's a week, but it's not as intense as the classes.

Trying to balance an active social life with friends, kickstarting a dating life, work, keeping my place cleam AND trying to lose weight is a crapload of stuff to do. But I want to be healthy...above losing weight...I want to be able to feel good.

As for dating: I'm blaming the colder weather (yes, 80 is cold for Houston!!) on the sudden interest from the male population. I've gone on some really nice dates lately with guys that are really interesting. Still not feeling that spark with any of them, but I enjoy viewing my options :-)
