Getting In Shape for Law School

So summer is here and I'm way behind on staying in shape. I have motivation though, one of the Besties is getting married in a few weeks and I need to look HOTT to snag a cute groom's man...J/K (sorta ;-) ). I also have the motivation that being in shape will help keep me sane during the crazy stressful time known as "One L Hell" I used to be such a fitness nut, swimming 5 mornings a week, spinning or running 3-4 times a week, and strength workouts while I watched my shows. Now, I'm just making it to spinning once a week, running 3-4 times a week and strength or swimming? Well, I'm building muscles by lifting a glass and swimming in pre-Law School debt already!

This week I was awesome! I got to the pool early enough a couple of mornings to gossip with the girls, get the best lane, and during our kick I got to gossip even more! It made the killer sets worth it. Of course all those calories burned were for nought b/c brunch was calorie and alcohol-laden hours of yumminess. I also trouv'd my iPod Nike+, FINALLY! So on my run I had Lance cheerin me on, it made the run so much better! All in all, my short run was 3 mi, my long run was 5.4 mi, my short swim was 1.25hr, my long swim was 3hr and in between there I just had some average workouts. I think I lost 2 lbs., but won't know for sure til Monday when I use the gym's scale (its the most accurate). I'm still well far away from my goals.

On the law school front, I have a place to live!!!! :-D Its a super cute little apartment in a neighborhood that i LOVE! I'm debating how I'm going to move up there. I don't have any furniture, but I have a TON of boxes. I'm sure my mum would love for me to finally get rid of all my stuff from high school and uni that I've been storing in her attic. My options for moving to New City are 1.) moving truck, buy furniture here and drive up, 2.) SUV with as many boxes I can fit, buy furniture in New City and have it delivered to the apartment, 3.) ship all boxes via UPS, fly up to New City with 2 FULL suitcases, and have furniture delivered and rent a truck to go to Ikea one day. The prices come out to be pretty close after gas, hotels, flights, shipping, etc. The flying/shipping/delievering idea is the most appealing, but i'm just not sure how secure I feel in shipping my new LCD TV via UPS? I'm so worried they'll break it or lose it. Just about everything else can be packaged in peanuts and I'm not too worried. I'm so indecisive. I need to make a spreadsheet and figure this all out (my nerd backround is showing!) and SOON! Mum and I keep going antiquing and there's so many things that she loves for my apt, but I'm ambivalent about buying anything until I know how I'll get it up to New City. Ok, resolve, I will decide this week how I'm going to move! But for now, I'm going to lay by the pool with a cool drink!

Cheers!
