Ha! It has been almost a month. But I will blame that on being busy, Thanksgiving, and pure laziness. In fact, I have spent the last two days scrubbing the kitchen and living room floors with my hands to remove all traces of holiday grime. I'm even debating NOT decorating my house for Christmas. Granted, this only means putting up one metal snowflake but I'm that lazy. I don't want to do anything holiday like. I type that while wearing Christmas themed Family Guy pajama pants. I can't win. Ha!
Well, the last time I posted, I weighed in at 223.2. No tears or disappointment was had. I was actually expecting that number. The problem was that I had become complacent. I'm so used to seeing 2 20 something that it has become the norm. The light came a week later, right after Thanksgiving. We had made a ton of food, drank a lot of non-water liquids, played games, and pictures were taken. Let me rephrase that: pictures were taken of me in unflattering positions. I'm talking about hunched over, fixing my plate pictures. Photos with me seated and my shirt, unbeknown to me, is lifted in the back and all my flat tire middle is showing. The icing on the cake was the family photo. It was blurry but you could clearly see the Thanksgiving meal protruding from my tummy, over the waist band of my pants. But I have such a pretty face! When's it blurred out, there's not left to do but notice the rest of me. Boy oh boy I am really disappointed but Rome wasn't built in one day, right? RIGHT?!
So, to avoid a complete meltdown and harness this agitated energy, I decided to replace volleyball with running. I haven't ran in years. However, I discovered the couch to 5k program and I'm trying it out. I made it through the first week and weighed in on Thursday at 220.8lbs. The ladies were excited that at least someone lost something after Thanksgiving and I could not have felt better. I know that running will at least start pushing me though my lack of motivation. We shall see...
Here are two random songs that I have been listening to lately. I love them both!
Imogen Heap "Hide and Seek"
Adele "Rolling In the Deep"
