So Terri took my measurements on Tuesday. Conveniently, she waited to tell me until Tuesday afternoon, so I couldn’t do that much damage. I was all ready to expect a few extra inches since my Utah trip. Wow was I surprised when she told me I lost another 2 1/2 inches. I don’t know how. I feel like I eat a lot, although I’ve cut way down on the crap in the last month. I’ve been doing more physical activity, so that makes a difference I guess. The real challenge for me, Terri said, is realizing that what I feel like is not necessarily what I look like or what I’m doing. I guess it must be true. I’m guessing she didn’t lie about losing more inches. Anyway, today we’re supposed to do a flexibility session. I’m skeptical. I want to sweat, work on my pullups -yeah! LOL. Which reminds me, someone told me yesterday that she knows a girl who can do 85 push-ups. Wow. I can “only” do 40… Jeez.
Terri took my measurements on Thursday. I lost nearly 8 inches! Terri swore she wasn’t shitting me! I can’t believe it! Of course, it’d be nice if I could possibly enjoy it for five minutes before I torture myself with angst about gaining it back. I’m working on it. Which reminds me — working at work actually helps. I’ll do anything to avoid it — “it’s absolutely vital that I “research” which dog food is the best/where to find red vines in ny/twizzlers v. red vine blogs/who has vegan marshmallows/fundraising how-tos…. yeah, so I’ve been pretty pathetic since the trip, which of course means I get a little too focussed on the crap. So, snap out of it! On the athletic (and positive) front — well, building my endurance and fitness level was actually motivation for working with Terri — this week I signed up with Team in Training for novice athletes to train for the Arizona half-marathon in January. Saturday was my first day — I ran the entire loop around prospect park — 3 1/2 miles! The coaches said most people who train for the half “end up” running the whole marathon. (!) I’m so happy. wow.
