Rainy Sunday
We’ve had enough sun the past week that I actually don’t mind this morning’s clouds and rain…. It’s sort of pleasant. Feels less demanding, I guess!
BF is distancing himself. Sigh.This happens every freakin’ time he hurts me. He pouts, basically. Sulks. While he’s pouting, he’s seeing himself as a wounded hero, I suspect. I am [...]
Saturday…in the Park
That’s a goal for today, anyway — some time in the park (walking 4K up at the Oval, with 3 interval spurts) and some time in by own back yard ‘park’ (parklet?).
Ongoing BF stress. I am trying to stand outside and observe and not get sucked in and want to eat (for comfort, for the [...]
Scale Creep
Dang. Back up to 138 on the scale this AM. Will check later in the day, but dang.
[LATER (10 AM): OK, back to 137. I can live with that. Need to think about setting a new goal, though, and keeping myself on track toward it.]
Moving:
bicep curls: 3×15 (5′)
rows: 3×12 (8′)
toe raises w/dumbbells: 1×25 (5′)

B (6:30 [...]
What’s in YOUR pocket?
Today is the first annual Poetry in Pocket day! Even if you don’t carry one around, read a poem today!

Sn (10:30 AM): 3 bites of wheat roll, 3 forkfuls of Mediterranean tuna salad; function:Vacation coconut drink [wtf is THAT, you may ask... According [...]
Phase II
So now what? The ‘race’ is over — this project has been focused on the team effort, with an externally-defined start and end point. What happens to me now?
Moving:
bicep curls 3×12 (8′)
standing DB deadlift thing 3×10 (5′)
squats 1×25 (BW)
toe raises 1×25 (BW)
toe raises w/knees bent 1×25 (BW)

note to self: 136 on this AM’s scale — good [...]
Final Weigh-In
Ack! We’re all incredibly nervous. Isn’t that silly? Will do the final weigh-in at 11 AM…. And then relax.
[Later]: We did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone met or exceeded goal!!! I clocked in at 134, a ‘removal’ of 16 pounds. That’s not really true — I didn’t drink any water this morning, so was probably a pound or [...]
Just Another Manic Monday….at 137
Got all my tax stuff together (my middle name is Procrastination) and realized that I never changed my # of dependents on my w-2 or w-4 form, whatever that is. So for the first time in my life, I owe whopping big taxes. And I know there are some who advocate doing this intentionally, arguing [...]

I was fine when I got up this morning, but was a royal bitch by 10 AM. Have no idea what got into me. I just felt so close to snapping. I told Jack I wanted a drink. That’s bad.
I didn’t have a drink. That’s good.
Church helped.

B (7:30 PM): whole wheat shredded wheat with a [...]
Pressure
Most pressure is, to some extent, self-imposed. Right? I mean, people probably don’t expect me to be perfect. And I know that I’m not and that I cannot be. So where does the pressure come from?
I’m freaking out because maybe I’m not going to maintain this weight by the final weigh-in on Tuesday. How silly [...]
Dang
By yesterday afternoon the scale was reading 137, which is where I want to be for next week’s weigh in, since my goal was 138 and I want that cushion. This morning, I’m at 138.
And I’m depressed. Don’t know if it’s the weather, fighting off a cold that hasn’t quite landed, general life stress stuff [...]
