I feel like I just plateau and lose, plateau and lose, and this week I felt like it was a lose week so this morning I weighed myself, and the good news is that I have lost a total of 40 pounds. So, I am happy except then I do dumb things like watch the weigh-ins on The Biggest Loser and see people who lose 4 or 5 or more pounds a week, and then I realize that they lose in 6 weeks the same weight as I have lost in 6 months. That is a bummer. But, I also know that if I was forced to exercise with Jillian, she'd piss me off so much I would sit on her until her last breath, and then I'd have to eat prison food for the rest of my life, and that would suck. I could totally get into Bob, though, but I would keep saying "Omigod what did you do to your arm?" proving that in the end I would be the only one to be able to turn Bob into an angry screaming trainer. He would hate me.
The good news about not losing weight as fast as the folks on The Biggest Loser is that my skin gets a little time to unstretch, so even though I have begun to fantasize about all the plastic surgery I will be getting to turn me back into a 16 year old, (from the neck down) I won't end up with as much hanging skin as someone who lost it really quick.
So, I am about to retire another pair of jeans that keep slipping off me today, which means I'll have to go shopping to replace them. Oh well, if I have to!!
One thing that has thrown off my exercise routine lately is all this rain we have been getting in the Northeast. I started this program right after the rainy period in July and only had one rainy day the whole summer, it was the day I did the trial triathlon, which I did in the rain just to be prepared for anything, so it has been raining non stop here, and I guess I'll have to go on the treadmill, but my whole routine is just off my not walking the dog, or even getting to leave the house to exercise. I was dying to have a long bike ride last week, and know the path I want to do, but will have to wait for the weather to improve. It looks like that is going to be the case next week anyways, so I'll just have to sit tight. I was thinking about adding some Y class to my regime. P wants me to take a spin class with her and L. I was thinking that Pilates might be a good thing for me, and one of our writers is doing it, I would love to spend more time with her. But, in my reality I think that I might be better suited to hire a trainer and work out a core muscle routine I could do on my own at the gym. I am not much of a group exercise person.
So, things to do. They are all good.
