It's Going Well

With the exception of this week, no thanks to a bad chest infection, I have been working out 3x/week at an hour and half each class... 

Okay, okay.  So this isnt entirely true.  There was that one Monday, two weeks ago, where I only worked out for 20 minutes but its not my fault the alarm went off and we had to evacuate.  There was a small fire in the room with all the fuse boxes.  30 minutes outside, barefoot and wrapped in a blanket is not my idea of a good time.  Once it was all cleared we had minutes to grab out things and leave.  No changing, no nothing so home I went in a damp bathing suit wearing a sweater over top.  Thank goodness it was the icky one with the skirt bottom.  I would have been waaaaay more self conscience otherwise.  It was still damp when I jumped out of my friends car into mine.  Never in my wildest dreams did I clue in to what that would mean.  damp bathing suit skirt rubbing against legs keeping them moist + a 10 minute car ride with bare backs of thighs on leather seats = and excruciatingly painful exit of the vehicle.  OMG the pain.  I think it was right up there with childbirth.  I was postive that, when I looked at the seat, I would find my skin attatched to it.  Never the less ....

I am feeling great, losing weight and not dieting.  No Weight Watchers.  No Herbal Magic.  Just common sense.  I eat what I want to eat when I want to eat it.  I have super healthy lunches I never took the time to make before.  (week three into school and I have brought lunch every day.  a first...)  I love water.  I have a ginormous cup with lid that I fill with ice and top up with water.  Oh the looks I was getting ....  It holds at least a litre and half to two litres ... and that is with some ice.  I am enjoying the food because I am not under any pressure to eat the food.  Veggies have taken on a new meaning.  The cravings for chips and ice cream isnt there - assumingly because no one is telling me that I CAN'T have it.  It is my choice.  Maybe I am finally ready to make this happen for real this time. 

I am hoping to take some photos of me in my bathing suit (oy vay) but havent gotten around to it yet.  Maybe I will do it on the first of every month to keep it consistent and easy to remember.  I would love to have a visual of myself through the process .... and maybe one day share when I get closer to my goal.  HA!  Maybe one day I will even share this blog!!  lol

Here's to a happy & healthy new life
