I worked out last night, do I look like a fitness model yet?

I wish my life were more like a merry-go-round, as opposed to a roller coaster. I went out with my sister for lunch, and had a gyro & salad & unsweet tea. Yay me. Ate great all day yesterday. Yay me.

Went shopping for something to wear to my reunion in the afternoon. Nothing fit. I bet I would have had better luck in the maternity department. I bought a skirt, but I am very dissatisfied. The Kohl’s dressing room is the bane of my existence. Boo.

Went home, had a light dinner & hit the gym. Step class followed by chest, back, and triceps. I benched 135. I rule. Went home & had a little more dinner (a WW meat loaf recipe & green beans), read to my son, and hit the sack. Got up this morning for a 2 mile run. Not the fastest in the world, but I did it.

Today I am hungry! I had my snack, then a bag of Wow Doritos (120 calories – not bad). I have good food packed, a good dinner (already cooked!), and I am going to keep mushing on.

Here’s the thing. Some overweight people eat whatever they want and obsess about what they wish they could wear. Some thin women wear great clothes and fantasize about food. I feel I have the worst of both worlds. I watch what I eat (during the week), work out like a fiend, and still can’t wear the clothes I want. Here’s the site that got me thinking about that particular subject.

But I could have those 25 pounds I’ve lost back, and a holding action is better than that. I am very hopeful that I will feel less overwhelmed when hubby is back from this out of town job - this Friday! Woo Hoo! See, up and down! A roller coaster.
