I have no idea why I decided to update this today, but I had the urge, so I'm going with it.
It's been a long time. Still trying to reclaim my former glory as weight loss champ. Honestly, I can't believe how amazingly and ass spankingly hard it’s been. If someone had told me falling off the wagon would entail getting run over, stepped on and slapped upside the head, I probably would have approached things differently. Or maybe not.
On the positive side, I joined a kenpo karate class in October, and I earned my yellow belt last month. The class kicks my ass, but I really love it. Also, it’s amazing, but I’m like super student. I keep winning all the prizes for best student, and I think my classmates are starting to hate me. Oh well, they can kiss it. It meets twice a week, so at least I’m guaranteed an hour of exercise twice a week. The problem is the workouts are practically asthma-inducing for me. I really, really, really want to lose weight so I’m not heaving like a fat man during the workouts.
Weight watchers and I had had some irreconcilable differences. I’m not really ready to go back to the meetings yet, but I’m working myself back into figuring out points. After being in “fuck it” mode, it’s crazy how quickly points are gone.
I think this recent surge in motivation can be attributed to several things:
1. I’m going on vacation at the end of the month (seriously, there’s nothing worse than feeling like a whale AND having to wear a bathing suit)
2. I’m intrigued by my inner Karate Kid
3. Addiction to Celebrity Fit Club and especially, Harvey
4. My lowest weight jeans are tighter than is physically possible
I can’t really do any major damage before my vacation, but I can at least be moving in the right direction.
Harvey’s first target weight loss for me: 5 pounds.
