Remember the saying "Slow and steady wins the race?" Turns out it's true. Slow down at work, with your partner and just in general. You may be surprised at how much sweeter life is when you aren't looking at it at warp speed.

A Funny Movie for Inspiration

LMAYO9

I watched "Run, Fatboy, Run" this weekend on DVD. I had seen it when it was in the theaters, and it's even cuter now that I can watch it at home. Simon Pegg plays a guy who ran out on his pregnant fiance on their wedding day. Five years later, he's an out of shape security guard at a lingerie shop. Through the movie, he tries his best to change to get his ex-fiance back (who has now moved on to a much richer boyfriend). He decides to run a marathon to prove to everyone that he can actually finish something if he puts his mind to it. I won't spoil the ending but it's total cheesy love story goodness. Definitely adorable motivation to get in shape!
