Thou Shalt Not Covet...

...Tea Leoni's Abs

But honestly, is it too much to want this body?

Today I jumped on one of the cardio machines at the gym. I hate machines... treadmills, stairmasters, transporters, whatever... Why do I hate them? You work really hard and you're going nowhere. I can't stand the mindnumbing television that is usually playing. It's too hard to read because the page keeps bopping up and down. I really ought to look into just listening to music... or possibly booktapes... but today I wasn't on the ball enough to prepare.

Generally, I prefer to workout outdoors... or even on a track, though the round and round can get monotonous, as well.

But today I jumped on a machine anyway, and because I'm not someone who likes to quit what I start, I forced myself to complete the entire 30 minute workout plus 5 minutes of cool down. I was scrambling for something to occupy my mind. I tried working on my novel. I tried outlining my next novel. I tried making a list of all the things I needed to get accomplished in the next month or so. No matter what I tried I kept coming back to the clock on the machine. How much time is left? Only 47 seconds have passed since I last looked? I thought I was going to go crazy.

Then I started thinking about my goals and why I was on the stupid machine in the first place.

Tea Leoni's abs.

That was my answer. I've been coveting them ever since I saw the movie, Spanglish, with she and Adam Sandler. She may have played a *itch with major issues in the movie, but you gotta love that body.... and she's four years older than me, so hey, I've got some time to get in shape, right?

Someday... This could be me...
