ellipses

i just went to the gym in the middle of the workday, for the first time. it was a fun little pick-me-up. i'm thinking of doing that more often. it's hard to find a convenient time to go to the gym. right after work i usually have other things i'd rather be doing. and i can't bear to get up any earlier than i absolutely have to.

i spent 35 minutes on the elliptical machine, which is another first. i'm trying to start doing more "cardio". with my newly sedentary lifestyle -- sitting in one place for eight or nine hours a day, five days a week, eating candy all day to stave off boredom and sleepiness -- i've gained about six pounds since starting this job.

i know, i know. i'm still tiny. i shouldn't be so anorexic. but i feel like this weight gain is definitely not caused by anything healthy. i want to get my metabolism back down to the super-sonic rate i'm used to. that way i can eat all the candy i want.
