#Fail

I didn’t pack my gym clothes last night because I was exhausted.
I packed my gym clothes up a lunch while home.
I left my gym clothes in the car accidentally.
I was going to change at the gym instead of my office like I usually do because I was parked far.
I secretly hope my clothes aren’t in the car because I have a pounding headache and am still exhausted from a non-relaxing vacation.
My clothes are in the car and I drive to the gym.
I sit in the car and realize my head hurts too much and I’m so stressed about work and unpacking and fixing my tv and internet that are on the fritz.
I haven’t done something like this in ages, but I need to get my head back on track before I can get my body on track.
I’m mad about my decision, but I need a breather before 2 insane days at work, even though the past two days have been crazy in their own regard.

The Art of Crossing Your Legs

Ever since I’ve lost weight I have been crossing my legs differently,

more “lady like”

and with minimal effort.

I have loooooong legs -like need to buy “tall pants” – and crossing my legs has always been awkward thanks to the combo of being overweight and having long legs. My default crossed legs were more of the “guy cross” with my ankle over my knee. Well over the past few weeks I’ve noticed my default leg cross has been the “lady” cross of knee on knee/upper thigh.  I really think the lady cross verses the guy cross requires more effort? muscle?SOMETHING and I now possess whatever that is.  It’s funny I’m sitting here right now at my desk at work with my legs crossed ladystyle under my desk and I don’t ever recall doing that before recently. I would do the guy cross. So interesting.

8.9.10

that’s today’s date – how cool.

Today has been CRAZY busy at work, but it’s time to leave and go to the GYM. The first real work out after vacation is always hard, but I’m ready.

I got in the scale this morning and I was 194.4 – better than I feared. I still have hopes to see the 180s by NEXT (not this) Wednesday.

I have some dress and sneaker posts for you as well, but I’m gonna wait until I take pics. I’m hoping to try and backtrack and read a week worths of dashboard posts tonight – we’ll see how that goes, I hope it’s INSPIRING!

WIW – BIRTHDAY EDITION!!!

Today’s my motherfingbirthday!!!!!!

27 and I’m on top of the world.

This trip home has been innnnnteresting. Lots of twists and turns, but I’ll get into that once I get back to my regularly scheduled life next week.

My eating has been OKAY, but I have not been eating enough which has been problematic. Plus I’ve had more sweets than I would have liked.

My running plans have been hit or miss do to lots of unexpected happenings whilst home. I’m hoping to get in another long run or two before I leave. 

Last week: 191.0

This week 194.8

Change: +3.8

Not thrilled, but I know once I get back into my eating and running routine that I will be fine. 

Regardless I look and feel great, my friends and family can’t get over how much my body has changed!
