OK, remember the movie "Being John Malkovich" where a puppeteer discovers a door in his office that allows him to enter the mind and life of John Malkovich for 15 minutes? Of course, the puppeteer then tries to turn the portal into a small business like any normal person who is out to make money. Well, that's kind of how I feel today -- only I'm not in the mind of John Malkovich... I'm in the mind of my co-worker Meg Charlebois.

Last week I lifted weights with Meg... we each showed each other specific exercises which we enjoy or get a lot out of (read: are really hard but worth it in the long run even if you look like an idiot while doing it).

Yesterday we made an emergency run to Walgreen's for some much needed Diet Coke (which they were out of) and while there, we decided to buy little note pads to track our workouts - and in my case, a food journal as well.

Last night while noting my brisk walk in my "journal" it suddenly occurred to me that at some point last week I walked through a portal and entered the mind of Meg Charlebois.  What else could have caused me to suddenly begin lifting weights, running and tracking my caloric intake in a purple, pink and brown spiral notebook?

The weird thing is, I like "being Meg Charlebois."  I've found I feel better of a morning, sleep better at night and I'm able to run farther in the hot sun than I was previously able to -- when I was being Lauren Littlefield.  Heck, today I'm even lifting and doing abs at lunch (which is then followed with either a smoothie or salad, I haven't decided). *If you know me, you are probably wondering what I'm smoking, right?*

Of course, I'm not really trying to be like my healthy co-worker... but she does inspire me to be healthier, which is an amazing result of our friendship and relationship as Dittoe employees.  Consequently, I think I've inspired her to blog more often!  I'll try to keep you posted on my progress at "being Meg Charlebois."  They say imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?  Meg won't mind...
