back of the drawer

I’ve lost nine pounds this summer (since the surgery) and today while sorting through laundry I pulled a folded pair of jeans from the back of my drawer — the Citizens of Humanity jeans that I haven’t worn since last year because I had gotten too “fat” for them. They fit perfect now. YESSSSSSS BITCHES […]

what’s for lunch

Last night I ate leftover brown rice with cheese on it for dinner. And some frozen blueberries. I felt pretty crummy about it, and found myself thinking about the lack of thought I’ve been putting into my diet. I’ve been working out more lately, but not really eating conscientiously. Like, earlier in the day I […]

wet grass

We went running in the rain. My shoes were already soaked to my socks by the time we reached the quarter-mile oval. I circled the track three times, alternating walking and running, but on the final lap I jogged the whole way. I guess after a while I didn’t notice the rain as much. Our […]

crunches

I just had a 45-minute workout in the garage, with Brian as my trainer. It was good — we had the door mostly open so the sunshine and fresh air could flood in. I felt especially good about my roundhouse/punch combinations on the heavy bag. Not so much with the situps, wah. I have tried […]

promise

I am going to get up at 7:30 am and walk downtown to get coffee. And back. It’s 3 miles round trip. The only thing that will stop me is pouring rain. POURING rain, not the other kind. And how is everyone anyway? It seems quiet around here lately. maybe it’s just me, and my […]

corpse pose

Today I went to my ninth bikram yoga class. When I go to my tenth, I will have spent $3 per class. I am really making the most of that introductory offer. I think I am making progress, but with yoga, it really does take a long time to work up to an “advanced” level. […]
