Go! Pack! Go!
I woke up this morning exhausted. Even though I was completely worn out yesterday, I stayed up way too late. Between needing a shower, moving slow, setting up where I was going to sleep, it was later than I had wanted it to be. I woke up before my alarm went off and immediately I began to worry I was going to be late. Today was the Packer game and I wanted to get a good seat at the bar. After I got up and moving and on my way to feed the chickies I was really watching the time.
Once the chickens were fed I thought about the cave trip yesterday, how many calories I had burned and sitting, eating bad bar food was not going to help me achieve my new weight loss goal.
While at Emily's yesterday I was changing into my caving clothes and saw a scale on her bathroom floor. It looked reliable, and I stepped on it telling myself no matter what-if it was bad I was at least taking steps to go out and work out today. I could not believe my eyes...what that scale read, told me I had over the past year lost 30 pounds. With me at this weight, I am now only 30 lbs away from my goal weight. This is doable, I may not lose all 30 in the next 12 months, but I can sure try and see what I can do!
So, instead of eating bar food, I turned the truck around and headed to O'Charley's. There I can have a beer and eat a salad while watching the game. That was exactly what I did, my friends came and went as their day permitted. I thought it was really cool of them to come and hang out with me.
After the game, Packers won by the way, (good job Green Bay!) I went and unloaded some things from my truck into my dinky space I am renting. Not wanting to sit still I then wandered Target, not needing anything but just looking. I wanted to go out for a walk on the greenway, but it was too cold for me to want to be outside that long. I day dreamed as I walked through the housing items, wondering what I would want to choose for my house one day.
Once my browsing was content I left for my space, I am calling it Sycamore Step, as I hope the next place I live will be an apartment complex called Sycamore. While trying to figure out what to do and exhaustion creeping in so strong I can't think straight my friend Ernie calls. We agree to meet in about 30 minutes to hang out. While we were hanging out I mentioned a fitness goal I have set with my friend Tabitha. We are going to try and work out three times a week. Ernie also wants to get in better shape and she got on board with our fitness challenge. It starts this week and I am looking forward to take on this action to get in better shape. I would love to be skinny again, feel good in my clothes instead of trying to find ways to hide in them.
Onward and upward working towards accomplishing the next set of goals in my docket.
