Well, another chapter in the “live your life as best you can, loving each freaking moment, because you never know what’s going to happen” book.
I found out today a friend/more than acquaintance of mine is really very sick. It was sudden and unexpected and I’m not sure he’s going to be okay. Its just so shocking when you find this kind of thing out, regular day, the sun is shining, I’m waiting for Friday and pizza and boom, you realize someone somewhere is struggling for his life, literally, and his friends and family don’t even notice the sun. I wish them all the best.
It seems shallow and stupid to discuss my weight and my yogurt, but I’m going to do it anyway, because…well…that’s the plan.
SO, ISHT:
150! WOWOWOWOOW, can you believe it? I’m 150!
This week has been awesome for me, really. The sunshine and the warmer weather is the biggest motivator ever. Something about knowing the weather is going to get hot, and not wanting to be chunky in hot weather…well, that’ll make you run faster.
My runs haven’t been updating over there, I got a new sensor for my nikeplus and its not loading on the site, but soon it will and you will see that I’m running longer and speeding up. I’m also making VERY sure to stretch a lot after the runs, I seem to hurt myself right when I’m getting into the swing of it, and I really want to watch that.
AND, just so you Fageheads know, I have gotten my Fage yogurt down to a science and it is DELICIOUS. I love my 2% Fage so much, I bring fresh strawberries from home (frozen, thawed by the time I get here) I put in just a small dash of Splenda and my BearNaked maple walnut granola and I eat it all up and it is so good, and so hearty and so delicious. YUM.
What I really really want is just to get really stinkin’ strong. Damn strong, really strong. I want Madonna arms.
Somehow with age we start to see how important it is to take care of ourselves. I think I’m a late bloomer in that respect, but glad that I’m starting to see the light now. I also think that with the removal of smoking and drinking (I still drink, just not like I did), one has to fill up that absence with something else, and an addicted person will go the other way, and fill up that absence with the opposite. And that’s great.
Oh, I’m also working on “calming” my body. Just throughout the day, relaxing my neck, shoulders, face most of all, I’m a jaw clencher and find often that I’m doing that, and an eyebrow furrower, relax….relax….relax.
I love that my new job for myself is to relax. That rules.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend/acquaintance. :(
On a fitness note--do you have access to weights at all? I'm not talking little 2 lb dumbbells, but REAL weight training facilities? Mah trainer is a big proponent of weight training (ONLY on days you don't do cardio). And I'm starting to see the results. I also really believe now that muscle burns more fat.
I started doing 7lb bicep curls and now I can do almost 20lbs!!
i want a personal trainer. and i want god to slightly imbue me with this gift/curse that all my other addict friends have gotten ... the addiction of eating healthy/running/exercise. six years sober, three years smober, and it hasn't hit me yet. dear lord, strike me exercising.
and i know that people grind their teeth at night (i probably do), but i find myself clenching a LOT during the day just walking around, living. sigh.
white light thoughts to your friend.
Hey Waflen! Actually, I don't! I wish they would build a gym right by my house. Right now I'm working on body weight stuff, lots of pushups, situps, plank poses, that kind of thing. TWENTY POUNDS!? That is awesome.
Smuss...smober, love it. And I don't know what to tell you except that if you just start it, you'll be into it. It's such a great thing to put all that extra energy into, but like they say...starting is the hardest part.
