Brevity

In short, last week was a disaster. I didn't stick to anything last week. The only exercise I got was from the storm on Thursday. Granted I was shoveling for a good 2 hours and probably burned at least 1000 calories, but that doesn't really cut it if you only do it once per week. 

This week MUST be better. I've enlisted dinner making help from Ben so I can Zumba without stressing about the after meal. Tonight's blog is short because I've got to get home and change so I don't miss the class for tonight. 

This week has to be better because I'm working all weekend suddenly creating a 14 day stretch with no day off. Having peak energy and endurance to make it through the next two weeks will be incredible because it doesn't stop there. I'll have the 28th and 29th off but then there are events every weekend after that in April. Basically when May comes around I will either be a lot thinner and feeling like a fitness goddess for keeping my routine OR I'll come up for air and be completely devastated that I'm set back 2 months just because I couldnt keep to my routine. 

Option 2 sounds better so I really need to dedicate myself to keeping this up. Why? Because then I'll get a vacation in June and will have a whole week to just celebrate my anniversary of my Trouble with the Curvy and all the progress I've made. I think I will plan a shopping trip in early June to shop for the trip. Maybe even some swim suit shopping?? I've never really enjoyed that before so I think it will be a nice treat. I have a lot to gain by not repeating last week as long as I am committed to it.

I have come to learn from doing this blog that I don't do stress well. When I'm stressed I'm not myself and I'm pretty miserable to be around. Yesterday, with a research paper staring me down, I let myself get worked up and stress got the better of me. On my last day of a wonderful 3 day weekend, I was... well... a shrew. I don't think I'm alone though. I think we all have our moments that we look back on and feel a deep shame for being so absolutely ridiculous. Certainly sometimes it is warranted but, for me, when I get like that I'm usually being pretty absurd.... like "How come you're not reading my mind and just do what I think you should be doing?!" I should also note that I'm one of those people that when I'm all pissy I can't help but slam things around. Anything I touch, I touch with force. I'm not proud of that but I can't seem to help myself. Luckily for me, the love of my life has the patience of a saint. In m

If it Weren't for Those Meddling Carbs...

If I am not writing, I am probably busy eating something that would make Shaggy and Scooby jealous... Not writing makes it easier to ignore that I am not living up to a commitment that I've made to myself. Writing reminds me how often I have taught others how to treat me by how I treat myself. Writing exposes me to exactly how uncomfortable I am when I am vulnerable. Vulnerability is why I eat like cartoon characters and pretend I won't gain weight like a human being.  I am certain that I am not unique in this dance with vulnerability. The world is a briar patch full of thorny shit and long ago we humans learned how to armor up to protect ourselves from being stuck around every corner. When we are kids, fresh into this chronologically excursion through the pricklies, we are just trying to figure out the world, it doesn't take an immense amount of brains to realize that getting poked hurts, hurting sucks, and protecting yourself from getting poked means you will hurt less.

Weight Loss Myths

Daylight savings time has actually had a pretty positive effect on my workouts. My inner clock is still set to wake up happy between 6:30- 6:45a except the actual time now is 5:30-5:45a. I  don't feel groggy or like I'm missing out on any sleep AND it is light out earlier so I don't get intimidated by the darkness and use it as an excuse to go back to bed. When I wake up earlier I feel better about the workout. It makes me feel like I'm one of those fitness bad asses that actually enjoy waking up early to workout. I feel like I set myself up for more productivity when I've already been up and worked out before I get to work. The one downside is that the "fall back" happens in November when it gets super cold in the mornings. This morning I woke up and enjoyed all of the aforementioned things and then I stepped out onto the porch and felt how cold it was. I pushed through and did some running just to warm up! When I finished my walk I was chilled but comf
