November resolutions, biotch.

Tonight we discovered that Shawna is the alpha female in our apartment. When we began our roommate adventures, our theory was that I would make Shawna healthier by influencing in our ways. Instead, there has been beer. And cupcakes. And Wednesday night fast food night.

As such, we have decided that I should turn that around and impose my healthy ways on her.

For November, our goals include:

1. Join a cheap (very, very cheap, but hopefully not ghetto fabulous like last winter) gym in order to minimize our beer bellies. We can't give up beer, but we can try to offset it.

2. Shawna: "Take up smoking! (giggle giggle) It's very Parisian." Not a goal. Our goal is to continue not smoking, as smoking is gross and makes me want to die.

3. Eat vegetables. Many vegetables. Less bacon, more spinach. (Shawna just said to put less bacon, more chocolate. NO, no I will not)

4. Replace Wednesday night fast food night with Wednesday night SALAD NIGHT!!!! WOOOOO! (Shawna: "This is ridiculous.") This does include fast food salads. And BLT's, cause BLT's are awesome. (Shawna: "With LIGHT ranch dressing!")

5. Ride our damn bikes at least once before it snows. Those things have been chained to our stoop all month.

6. Blog every other day, at least, as we suck at blogging lately.

7. Enjoy a 10-day long bikram yoga fest, while I wear shiny, silver spandex pants for no reason at all.

8. Read "Julie & Julia" as we've both checked it out twice from the library with little results.

9. Drink water. Lots of water. Hydration is key.

10. Stay awake for the entire showing of "New Moon" at 12:07 on opening night (dressed up, of course, cause we're cool and mature). Caffeine is our friend.

I think all of your goals seem completely reasonable.

Especially the one about shiny silver spandex.

Also, never give up the beer! Just offset! I do the same thing! I wish I could tell you I have been insanely successful with that plan, but I haven't. It's not my fault I like beer and pizza more than exercising. Its science.

OMG, I've almost finished "Julie & Julia." You'll like it. The gal kinda reminds me of you and if I were to write a book I think I would like it to be like that one. It does take awhile to get into, but then hilarity ensues. Also, I hate water and love yoga.
