Flo Runna

I don't usually do New Year's resolutions, but this year I'm dedicated to getting back in shape, so The Husband and I decided it was time for a contest. We've been putting money aside, and at the end of the designated time period the person who lost the biggest percentage of weight gets the money. I'm determined to be the biggest looser.

This morning I woke up and was itching to drive around aimlessly looking for photo opportunities, but I knew I should get my butt to the gym. My decision was made when I learned it was 2 degrees outside. I had an asthma attack just getting the snow off of my car...so off to the gym I went.

I arrived at the local fitness facility, changed into my sneakers and grabbed a treadmill. I'm following a workout routine I got online, so I have it all written down and have to follow it carefully...it's an hour's worth of speeding up, slowing down, changing the incline, running, walking, etc. Everything was going fairly well and then, about 50 minutes into it, I grabbed my towel, put it to my face to wipe off the sweat...and fell off the treadmill. Somehow I even managed to step on my own foot during the event.

I wanted to die.

On the way home I heard one of my new favorite songs by Flo Rida. In case hip hop isn't your thing, I've created a link for you. If you listen for a minutes you'll hear the line that I've changed for the sake of making you laugh. Ready? Here you go...

"...the whole gym was lookin' at her...she hit the floor (she hit the floor)....next thing you know....Lisa got lo, low, low, low, low, low, low, low...Them baggy sweatpants (yep, that's what I was wearing) and the Notre Dame hat...she kept on messin' with that freakin' iPod strap...she hit the floor (she hit the floor)...next thing you know...Lisa got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low.

Okay, now that you're done laughing, give me some encouragement!
