Oprah

It's almost embarrassing to admit, but before Monday I had never watched a single episode of Oprah. I had nothing against her, but it was pretty low on priority list, and I don't usually watch television during the day. Three o'clock on Monday I was at the gym, and happened to be one of the lucky ones to get a treadmill with a TV attached. Bored with my ipod, I flipped through the channels (all 4 options) and happened upon Oprah. Within moments I was hooked. The minutes flew by, and before I knew it 45 minutes had passed. Oprah is a great distraction. Suddenly I was slightly more motivated than before, my ipod playlist has literally been haunting me for the past few weeks, and anything that takes my mind off of working out is a miracle in my book. Tuesday came, and I decided to wait till 3 to go. And like clock work, time seemed to move a little faster. By today I had the best work out I've had in ages, and I was almost limping off the treadmill (in a really good way!) I made a goal last weekend to lose 5 pounds before Las Vegas (a little over 3 weeks away now). I am feeling better than I have in a long time. I'm more motivated, I've been eating better, and working out harder. And if I meet my goal I will owe it all to Oprah. So maybe this is why she has been so popular all these years? The magic powers....

p.s. I've also been getting super crafty lately. Pictures to come soon!
