Being that it is the dead of winter and I’ve been feeling incredibly sluggish, I have been trying all sorts of creative approaches to get my sloth-like self to the gym. The most successful so far has been making gym “dates” — plans to meet friends at the gym for a spin class or for an early morning workout. Along these lines, I decided to buy myself a treat the other day. I bought a 5 pack of sessions with a personal trainer (having since told my mom about the idea, she bought them for me — thanks, mom!). After doing this, I realized that it was kind of a Valentine’s Day gift to myself. Apparently the marketing team at NYSC has been thinking the same thing:

As I approach my fourth (or is it fifth?) Valentine’s day in a row without an “official” Valentine, I have come to rely on my friends, family, and, of course, myself for a little V-Day love. And I have a great time giving love in return. I have sent my siblings heart-shaped brownies, sent valentines to friends, and have gotten candy-filled care packages, e-flowers, and all kinds of little valentine treats. Even just a “Happy Valentine’s Day” greeting can go a long way when you’re not in a relationship on V-Day. So — as you’re making your plans, be sure to spread the love around — and don’t forget to send a little my way, while you’re at it!
