Chariots and Radar

I have not gotten to the gym this week. And although it may seem like I'm making excuses, I'm really not. Our gym is 1.1 miles from our house. It's the closest gym in our neighborhood, so we had no other choice. When I get off the train when I'm coming home from work it's 0.8 miles, so it's not quite as bad of a hike. But this week has been pretty unbearable. Monday was bitter cold, Tuesday it was raining, Wednesday and Thursday it was snowing. I'll try to go today, but I'll still have to trudge through over a foot of snow, which is highly unpleasant. Even though I haven't made it to the gym, I've been eating well. So although I haven't lost any weight (at least I don't think that I have) I am still sticking to my proper eating habits. I'll find out if in three weeks I've lost any weight next Tuesday when I see Samantha again. Or the next time I go to the gym, which will definitely be before that time.

Colin and I are moving again March 1. We were going to wait until March 15, but I don't think I can stay in the apartment we currently rent for that long. Plus there's no reason to wait if we don't have to and moving in on the 1st is a lot easier than moving on the 15th. Originally we were thinking about moving to Astoria because we like the neighborhood and the apartments offer more space for less money. But then either him or I got the bright idea to look in Harlem. We've always thrown around the idea to live in Manhattan, but didn't think that we could afford it. Some people wouldn't consider Harlem Manhattan, but we do, so we are trying to move to Harlem. The reason we like Harlem so much is that we can live in a nicer, new building for almost the same as what we're paying now. The buildings we are looking at this weekend all have a gym, laundry room, and other amenities for <$1600/month. If that isn't a deal in NYC I don't know what is a deal! We have three appointments on Saturday and two on Sunday. That should give us a nice selection and I plan to measure and take pictures of everything.

Other than that the weekend is open for paper writing and submitting my application to teachnyc!

Have a good weekend everyone.
