I'm clearly spending too much time at home, basically alone, watching too much TV. What can I say, my kid is a good napper. But it left me watching What Not to Wear today, and what should have been a relaxing afternoon turned into a horror show. They were picking on a mom of a 14 month old, who among other fashion no-no's, spends the majority of days in her workout gear. Hello...so do I!?!?!? As I type I've been in my running stuff for 14 hours. Yep, 14 hours, it's so gross but it's reality. In fact other than a 4 hour stretch on Tuesday I've been in running stuff since returning from vaca. I was going to blame this on my temporary status as stay-at-home-mom, but if I'm going to be honest it's been a reality for the better part of the kid's life. I lack motivation to get dressed in anything but my workout stuff. It motivates me to get a workout in; if I'm dressed I might as well go for a run/ride/yoga class. And I don't have to waste time changing, sometimes we run on a tight schedule around here. I don't care if my black capris get snot, ketchup, milk, poop, or finger paint on them. I can chase the kid when he takes off down the street after I've asked him to wait a moment while I get the groceries out of the trunk. I'm also incredibly comfortable. I can wrestle during a game of pretend you are asleep, go for a run, rearrange the basement, watch TV on the couch and read Corduroy countless times in the rocking chair. Stacy and Clinton have unrealistic expectations. Yes, I could change when arriving at the gym or when I'm done with a workout but I don't want to. Yes, I go to breakfast, the playground, the market, even lunch with my gym clothes on. If you don't like it, don't make plans with me before 6pm, on days like this even later.
Ran 4 miles and rode 45 mins all in the same outfit I've had on since 6am.
