Thank you Universe!

Holy crap!

I just weighed myself this morning and according to the scale that usually flashes such evil (or at least unfriendly) numbers at me, I weigh 128.8 pounds! For those of you who remember Sassy's Seven Week Challenge, in May I weighed 137 pounds and was challenging myself to lose 7 pounds. By the end of the 7 weeks, I weighed about 135 pounds. My goal did not come to fruition. But now. Now! I've been losing weight without even really trying (sort of).

In a comment a few posts back anonymous asks, "How is it to no longer be an office prisoner and instead, a gym rat for hire?" Oh lordy it's wonderful! Even the 6am clients are worth it. I'm in constant motion - demonstrating lunges, doing push-ups with people, and teaching a class. If I have a big break between clients I can simply change my shirt and work out. What's funny is that I have probably had less "workouts" in the last two weeks than I had before. But when I do, I'm working harder. You never know when a client, or perspective client, might be watching.

I'm not sure the numbers will stay that low by the end of this weekend though. I have 4 Thanksgiving meals that commence in about 4 hours and don't stop until Saturday. At least I know I can get below 130 if I try. Wow. I haven't been this light since high school.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu...

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...

Addendum to Resolutions

I'm adding two things to my New Year's Resolutions - 5) Read more using this list as a guide: 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. I have no idea how many I've already read. I'll have to make a spreadsheet. You can do anything with a spreadsheet. Not that you should , but you can. 6) Get a massage every 6-8 weeks . This probably doesn't need an explanation. I had one for only the 3rd time this week. It's been at least 4 years since my last one. My gym has a spa attached to it and they had an intern doing free massages. Hello? Sign me up! Now that I've had one I'm wanting more. If I eat out less I might even be able to justify it. I wonder if I can write it off on my taxes?
